Heart surgery for Rob

As some of you my know, I am in Seattle WA  with my family attending the commercial diving school Divers Institute of Technology. It is a 7 month program, in which I have made it all the way through. However, on the very last dive which was  a 160  footer, I actually got bent (which means I did not decompress right and had to be put back in the Hyperbaric re-compression chamber). With all of that happening I found out that I have a PFO(patent foramen ovale). In other words I have a hole in my heart. With this hole I can not dive until it is corrected with a surgery. That leaves my family and me in a conundrum. With out the surgery I can not work. We went out on a limb to come out here and things are tight already. I am asking for help to cover the cost of the surgery. Please pass this along!
