Ernest is in Jewish/Kindred Hospital, Room 418 - Louisville, KY.



Ernest has been told by two different hospitals that they could not do the double lung and kidney transplant he needs and he faced both of his biggest life disappointments. and vowed to not give in and to live remaining days, weeks, months and who knows a year of life remaining to the fullest.

As of 10/22/2019 Ernest is still fighting a good fight so that he will be strong enough to go home from the hospital, but each day has there own set of new challenges that Ernest must fight continue to overcome, but his fight is getting close to its final round.
Ernest now hopes that when his next big decision is made when to go into hospice care he would be able to be transported back to Georgia for his hospice care.



That time is coming a lot faster then we  or Ernest is expecting when dialysis can no longer be perform, Ernest knows he will have to go into hospice and when that time is near he wishes to be flown to a hospice hospital in Georgia where he can be near family.

Ernest and his family wishes to thank all of the Fire Fighters and Police Officers who has continue to come and visit with him which lifts his spirts each time any of you walks thru his hospital room door, all of you has become Ernest new Family in Louisville and thru out the States of Kentucky and Indiana.

Monies not spent for his transport back to Georgia and care will be used to cover his final expenses.
