Help Jordan during his time in ICU

Hi everyone, Thursday afternoon Jordan was practicing his CPAT which is his physical exam for the firefighter portion of the public safety academy. This exam was physically challenging and his legs gave out two thirds into the practice run. Two nights later would be a very restless night. Jordan’s leg was in a lot of pain so I decided to take him into the emergency room.

They diagnosed him with extreme Rhabdomyolysis, meaning his muscles were breaking down and rapidly, he had a 48,000 CK count. They treated him with IV fluids to prevent kidney damage and put him into the ICU. With these fluids there is a risk for compartment syndrome, his thigh muscle was constricting and there was too much pressure in his thigh, allowing further damage to his leg. They will be operating on his leg to release the muscle and save his leg. 

Unfortunately, just last week Jordan no longer was receiving health insurance. The thought of being out of work for a long time and dealing with the rest of school is a stress that can overtake someone’s mind. We’re asking for anything that would help this financial burden during this difficult time and healing process.
