Danielle's Battle - Healing and Rehabilitation

On Friday February 19th, 2021 Danielle (Grady) Schabel gave birth to a healthy baby boy - Damian Ezra Schabel. Shortly after, Danielle suffered serious complications and  severe blood loss. She was rushed to surgery where they operated for ten hours. Throughout the surgery she lost over double the body's supply of blood. After the surgeries, Danielle was completely unresponsive and doctors told Zac she may be left in a vegetative state if she survived. With only two pints of blood left in Athens county and her organs failing, the decision was made to have life flight transport her to an ICU in Columbus. 

Danielle is currently still in the ICU as she continues to fight for her life. Doctors currently cannot pinpoint what is wrong as she continues to face blood loss and organ failure. 

Danielle has touched a lot of lives throughout her time as a nurse and educator. We know these are difficult times given the current pandemic, but we are asking friends and family to help if they can, however they can. The family will use any assistance for medical bills, rehabilitation, accommodation for Zac to stay near, and care/supplies for Damian, to name a few. 

We are very blessed and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support we have received. Thank you all so much! We will continue to update as her condition changes.
