Help Mike with medical and medflight from Aruba
Donation protected
Mike and Phyllis Prizio went on vacation for 2 weeks to Aruba on July 11th 2019. After a few days in Aruba Mike started feeling ill and got a fever. On Friday July 19th, Phyllis and Mike went to a walk in clinic where they gave him antibiotics because they said he had inflammed colon.
The very next morning he became very ill and went to the emergency room in Aruba called Dr. Horacio Oduber Hospital. They did a ton of testing to find out his appendix burst and he is septic. At this point he was transported into ICU. His blood pressure was real low and his temperature was high. They told the family they couldn't do surgery because he was really sick and in critical condition. They said they will attempt to put a drain plug in to get all the toxin (pus) out.
At this point, he became even worse that they had to take him to operating room to get (toxins out). Then suddenly they told the family that Mike needs to be intubated and on a ventilator.
After, hours of this, breathing tube and ventilator were taken off. However, Mike is still in ICU and in critical condition.
The one thing that is hurting the family right now is the hospital only takes cash and credit cards and no insurance.
In only 24 hours, the bill is up to 20k. The hospital financial guy has bugged the family for payment and is even interferring with their visit with Mike and wanting to meet up to get the money from them.
The family is trying to get him Medflighted home as soon as possible. As most of you know Mike and Phyllis were in a major accident in November and were in hospital for about a month.
Any help to get Mike home and help the family pay for his Medical expense would be greatly appreciated!
May God Bless Mike and his family and to all of you for keeping him in your prayers!
Thank you!
