A few weeks ago Jeff was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured esophagus. After undergoing emergency surgery to stabilize him it was determined that his esophagus was too damaged to repair & a reconstructive surgery would be necessary. A couple of days later after 6 hours of yet another surgery they discovered an infection in his lungs & were not able to complete the reconstruction. He will need to return to the hospital in a few months to reconnect his stomach to his esophagus. Jeff will be out of work for several months & his recovery will be a long & difficult process. We have created this go fund me to help Jeff & his family with his hospital bills & his household expenses. Our thoughts & prayers are with Jeff, Beth & Rider! We are hoping that help with his expenses will take one worry off of his shoulders.
