Hi friends and family. My great nephew Shane Bowman (my sister Laurie’s daughter Lisa’s son) family needs help. Shane was diagnosed with diverticulitis recently. He had a foot and a half of his large intestine removed in late Nov., and on Dec. 2 he was rushed to Medina Cleve Clinic by Meg in horrible pain. He was septic and he had a leak from surgery. On Dec. 5 they operated for SIX hours and it was very difficult. He is now out of ICU, off Fentanyl, and bagged. His recovery will be at LEAST six months to ? and he will be out of work. There is no disability insurance that we can ascertain. We are hoping he will still have a job. Meg is now the sole provider and she has to keep going as she owns her own photography studio in Wooster. They have three boys. Shane will need at least two more surgeries. He will need care at home. The insurance will not cover all of these expenses. Shane was the “main breadwinner” and that is why I am asking for your help. All amounts matter. Please don’t be shy. We hope he is home for Christmas and beginning the long “bumpy” road to recovery. Thank you for anything you may be able to do and please please do share. Shane’s great Aunt Susan.
