Frank Nobili's Fundraiser
Donation protected
On November 21st, the preparation of a loving wife and mother saved Frank Nobili’s life.
Around 4:30 am Frank arose from his slumber with excruciating pain in both of his shoulders. Unsure of how severe the pain would become, he headed downstairs to start his day. Not two minutes later, Julie heard Frank yelling for her. When she yelled back, only silence was heard.
Julie ran downstairs, took one look at Frank, and instantly knew something was wrong as he lay there unconscious. She sprang into action by turning Frank flat on his back and simultaneously dialing 911. Julie started giving Frank compressions, similar to the ones she had learned in her CPR class. Exhausted, she screamed at the 911 operator that she could not continue. The 911 operator subsequently urged her to keep going, reassuring Julie that she was doing great.
Minutes later she noticed the flashing lights outside. Remembering the door was locked, Julie sprinted downstairs to let the paramedics in. Once they took over compressions, Julie started calling her sons to let know what had just occurred. A call a mother never hopes to make.
At 4:30 am, Frank woke up in pain.
At 4:37 am, she gave him an aspirin.
At 4:45 am, Frank had his heart attack, and Julie began giving compressions
At 4:55 am, the paramedics arrived.
It happened that fast.
Julie was later told that Frank experienced what they call a “widow maker” in the medical world. His main artery was 100% blocked, with the only warning being a few minutes of pain in his shoulders.
Frank was released from the hospital on December 16th, nearly a month after his heart attack. Due to the aggressive nature of this heart attack, a blood clot forced doctors to amputate his right leg just below the calf.
Julie’s swift action helped save Frank’s life. Now, she needs our help. Frank and Julie’s house will need some major adjustments to accommodate Frank’s amputation. Things such as the hospital bed, the prosthetic, and other home care needs will also have to be purchased. These things are expensive, and with Frank out of work, Julie could use some extra cash.
Please, find it in your heart during this holiday season to help the Nobili’s out. If you can’t afford to donate, perhaps offer your time, a warm cooked meal, work around the house, etc. Anything helps.
Thank you in advance for your help. I know Frank; Marine Corps veteran, father of 3, and loving husband to Julie, appreciate it very much.
