Hi my name is Maureen Miles.

I am fundraising for my son Lance Miles's medical expense's that exceeded insurance coverage. Lance has suffered since his teen years with auto-immune disease. Battling the progression of the disease with a strong will and always trying to work. Complications have brought on many bouts of CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Sydrome), and extreme Rhumatoid arthritis, it got so bad that he was in a wheel chair, unable to walk from 2015 until 2017. His brother Brady moved him to Nevada to provide his brother with treatment options that were not available at Baylor. Just 6 months after infusions in NV, Lance was able to walk and get a job in Reno. In 2021 he was experienced a diabetic coma, hospitalized for 3 days. Sugar levels were stablilized, but in September started feeling really bad, and his coloring was very bad. His girlfriend brought him to North Nevada Hospital, in Sparks, Nv. He was immediately admitted, after many lab test's and Cat-scan's, he was given blood transfusion for internal bleeding. The following day more test's, cultures, and he was put under a grid c-scan to insert a drain tube into a very large hematoma found on his kidney. Initially 3.5 liters of fluid/blood was drained. He was given 3 IV antibiotics, another blood transfusion and pain medication. The primary doctor, nor the infectious disease doctor had not seen one this large or with so much infection. Another specialist was called in, and thanks be to God, this doctor figured it out. The coma was caused by the infection, sepsis, in the hemotoma on the kidney,and renal failure. A large kidney stone with cluster's, once the pocket was completly drained, appeared to be the problem. After two weeks in hospital he is now home and able to tolerate oral antibiotics. He is scheduled in 5 days to go back, and they will proceed with best method to remove the kidney stone.

His out of pocket expense's has taken a toll, along with having to take so many sick days at work. This fund is for the next procedure that will have to be done, only after making sure no more infection. Insurance has maxed, and he desperatly needs help to go forward and to heal.
