Craig is the sole provider for his wife and 7 grandkids they have taken in. He has worked out of state for the last 9 years. Craig got sick at the beginning of November, hoping it would get better, he did what he could at home until Thanksgiving.  That morning, his wife took him to Billings Clinic were he was hospitalised for having a hard time breathing. After test were ran, we found out he has Double Pneumonia COVID-19 along with blood clots in both legs and lungs. Craig spent a week at the Billings Clinic hospital. After several times of flat lining, and being told he was a very sick man, the call was made to intubate him. After the tracheostomy was done, his body was fighting so hard his heart was giving out. Doctors gave him a 20% chance to make it through the day. They called offering to see if they could transfer him if they could locate an ECMO machine (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). One was located and with the approval Billings Clinic was able to prep Craig for surgery to be hooked to the ECMO. A team of doctors flew to Billings, loaded him in there plane and Craig was headed to a better hospital Friday Dec 4th at 2:41am. We got the update Craig made it and was getting more test done so they could start there process around 10:00am.

The last update for Craig was Saturday at 2:30am. Here is the latest. 

We beat the Extremely High Blood pressure, Now we're battling keeping the blood pressure up!! He has been removed from the high blood pressure medication and now put on one to keep it up.

Labs are still being done and results coming in throughout the weekend. 

Lower Legs...
Well they're running into Craig's lower legs femoral pulse is extremely weak.
We spoke in detail about Craig so that they could understand a bit more about Craig. He has suffered for years with extremely bad leg cramps, always cold ass feet, psoriasis very bad on his legs...
They are going to do more testing today to find out what is happening and if it's critical or do Craig suffer from PAD ( Peripheral Arterial Disease)

His heart was determined to be very critical, this morning they confirmed his kidneys have massive pockets also and a few other areas organs need to be checked. Let's hope and pray this new drug will help.
His brainwave shows he is very busy.. They mentioned Craig's brainwave is more active than anyone else on ECMO.

His left wrist..Arterial Line Placement is looking good for now.. but remember if blockage occurs he could lose his wrist, it's being closely watched.
There will be a more invasion discussion into what to do about all Craig's blood clots today.. do they continue to let the blood thinner work a little longer or ???

The flight alone was $350K. We are asking for some help with the medical bills that will start coming in, along with some funds for his wife to travel to be with him. 

Thank you,
Brandy
