Gary LaFave's Stroke Recovery Fund
Donation protected
Gary LaFave had a hemorrhagic stroke on May 4th, 2018 in the middle of the night. His wife, Karla, and brother, Ron who was staying with him were able to get him to Sheboygan Hospital via ambulance very quickly. Upon discovering the hemorrhage, the doctors at Sheboygan immediately had him transferred via ambulance to St Luke’s Hospital in Milwaukee for specialized care. All 7 of his children have been by his bedside encouraging and praying for him.
His doctors believe the stroke was a result of high blood pressure; however he has continued to have unexplained ischemic strokes that they have yet to determine the cause of. Tests and recovery are ongoing as his doctors work at determining the cause and implementing a treatment plan. He has been in a coma, but has been showing increasing signs of wakefulness and responsiveness. Your continued prayers are powerful and are extremely appreciated.
In the meantime, medical costs are quickly accumulating. He has had multiple X-rays, CT’s, MRI’s, (among many other tests), blood pressure medication, feeding and breathing tubes, an ongoing ICU hospital stay, and most likely has a lengthy, difficult, and expensive rehabilitation in his future. Gary would never ask for anything for himself other than prayer, but we as his children would like to help ease the burden as much as we can. If it is within your means, every little bit lightens their burden tremendously.
