Aid for Dad's Recovery: Medical Expenses

On May 20th, my dad went to the ER very sick with what he thought were side effects of Wegovy. His blood pressure was 80/50, and his body temperature was really low. Soon, we found out his appendix had ruptured and he had 2 abscesses. Before surgery, they had to drain the abscess.

Wednesday afternoon, he had surgery to remove his appendix. We thought the worst was behind us.

His drain tube didn’t seem to be draining very much, and the incision was leaking. Every day, his white blood cell count kept going higher and higher. Soon, we found out he would need another surgery. His colon had a hole that was leaking into his body, making him very, very sick. The surgeon had to remove part of his colon, and Dad will now have a colostomy bag for 4-6 months.

When the time comes, he will go home with a PICC line and have a home nurse, but we have a while till discharge and he will be out of work for a couple of months. No definite time frame yet.

His deductible and out of pocket is already at about 3000$.

We are fundraising to help cover medical expenses and support our family during this difficult time.
