Dan and Laura Prochnow

Dan had a heart attack on January 14th. He was brought to Penrose where they placed a stent. His recovery was a little rocky,  and on January 19th he went into vtac.
He was sent back to the cath lab where they discovered a large, "daunting" hole in the muscles between the left and right side. 
It was a miracle he made it through them putting him onto the ventilator and ECMO machines. 
As of January 20th, he will be sent to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio as his critical condition is not manageable here. 
As you can imagine,  the costs are adding up very quickly for Laura. She is on her way to Cleveland now and we are praying  Dan's medical team from Cleveland will be on their way soon to get him. 

We know how much Dan means to many people.  We are so lucky to call him Dad, PopPop,  friend,  brother and husband.

Dan has now flown to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio where he is being treated by the BEST heart hospital in the country. The flight alone cost my mom $23,000. This money will help mom begin to pay bills, as well as pay for families stay in Cleveland. This will be a long road, and the travel/lodging will add up.THANK YOU for everything. Our family feels the support so deeply. 

Dan had complications and will be welcomed by Jesus soon. Thank you for your prayers and donations.  Our family is able to fly out here to be with us because of your support.
