As some of you know Gorilla (Brad Brouillard) was admitted to the hospital on March 3rd due to blood clots in his stool and vomit. While trying to figure out where the bleeding was coming from they discovered the issue was bigger than they could imagine. He was immediately admitted to the ICU at Mercy Medical in Oshkosh where he would be fighting for his life.
During his stay at Mercy Medical he was put under heavy sedation to try and control the bleeding. The doctors monitored him closely awaiting for a bed to open up in Madison so he could be flight lifted there.
The doctors at Mercy Medical have diagnosed him with Portal Hypertension or Dilated Veins. He also has Pneumonia.
Fast forward to March 5th they were able to find a hospital in Milwaukee with an open bed hopefully able to do the surgery he so desperately needs to save his life.
On March 6th he was able to receive the surgery he needed. Surgery went well, but Gorilla is still having a difficult time breathing on his own. He is still sedated. The doctors are hoping sometime this coming week they can remove the breathing tube and he will be able to breathe on his own again. Will continue to update this page as updates come.
We are looking to raise money to help with the financial burden this will be. We all know Gorilla is an amazing person. He is the most selfless person you will ever meet or have met. He would give you the shirt off his back, his last bite of food, he would drop everything to help you out no matter how small or how big the issue is. Gorilla is an active member of .A.R.M. for 26 years and counting where his Brothers are his family. We are hoping we can come together and help him out, we all know he would do the same.
Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts. He sure needs it right now.
