Donation protected

January 2nd 2020 the dr is pushing for heart surgery. He lost another litter of blood. 

Jan 1st 2020 Update. Its the heart valve that is bleeding and not working right. He is being evaluated for a heart surgery

** update dec 30,2020 Terry was admitted to the hospital again yesterday with some intetnal bleeding and new blood clots in his lungs. He lost over a litter a blood yesterday and more this more. He isn't far off from needing blood transfusions. So we dont know how long he will be in the hospital. The doctors believe he is bleeding from bladder or kidneys since he filling up cups of blood with urine but right now just alot of tests. You can call with any questions. Me and the kids appricate everything yall have done to help cover the his medicines and bills while he is sick**

Terry is an amazing father and husband and would do anything for anyone. He is the sole provider for his wife (me) and 2 kids (girl age 7 and boy age 13) He is very active in his community and would do anything for anyone. He gave food out every week to those in need,  did free and discounted work for our neighbors who could not afford it. He would grocery shop for people who couldnt go out due to covid. He is an all around amazing man. He is self employed as well as a prop maker with the 479 union. 

In December 2019 he had lung surgery and had to have a ton of fluid drained and 2 parts of his lung removed and he did heal well and went right back to work but recently he has fallen ill again and spent months in the hospital with a heart infection and sepsis. He had to have his lung drained again. They removed 2 litters of infection out of his lung and he was getting 24 hour a day antibiotics. His blood cultures finally came back negative for sepsis. But is heart valve is still damaged and will more then likely need heart surgery. He got home yesterday but is very weak and can barely walk. He has to go for infusions 7 days a week for 6 weeks. We have to pay $125 a day for the infusions. And is going to be out of work for a long time. His doctor told us to apply for disability. And I have started the application for temporary disability but as anyone who has dealt with that knows it is very difficult to get right away. And we do have two small children that need their daddy to heal completely and I do not want him worried about the bills. We do not have insurance for him so I am working with the hospitals they have lowered the bills but we still do have to pay for the infusions every day and we do have to pay for his medication and long-term care. We have had a lot of our neighbors make donations and it has been amazing. But I thought I would put it out here this way for people that want to donate. And we do also have all of the other money apps if you would just like to message me I could give you that information as well. It will not let me add it here but most people that would see this would know us anyway. And I definitely appreciate anything that y'all do for him and most of you know him personally and know how amazing he is and we just need him to worry about healing and not the stress that we're all going through.

His hospital bills after the non insured discount is still over $50,000. We are making payments til he is approved or denied for disability. We would love to be able to buy a house one day. We also pays out of pocket for all his blood work and doctors visit each week. He sees his primary care every week $225 and 1 specialist every week $350 to $425 depending on which one it is. Blood work is $297 weekly. We have to do several tubes as well as blood cultures to majke sure the infection in his blood has not come back.
 

His iv infusions are the most important and  His blood thinner is $526 a month. Those are the biggest costs. But bills are still coming in as well as his other medicine. We are greatful for all the people who have helped. Thank you so much.
