Help Mike Butler with Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Deanna Butler Morang, my brother Mike has recently been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure due to Cardiomyopathy. This is the same disease I have, which was thought to be pregnancy related, but now obviously looks to be genetic as well. Very strange because our father had Coronary Disease, something completely different. Regardless of where it came from Mike is having a very rough time right now. Needless to say he has been ordered by his cardiologist to stop working. This has been devastating for him in many ways. He loves playing with dirt, just like Dad did, lol. He thrives at work and is going a little crazy staying home, but he really needs to focus on getting well so he can get back out there someday. Heart Failure makes you feel like a slug, even taking a shower can make you tired. Mike’s heart function is operating at half, which requires medications, lots of rest, and a low sodium diet to have a chance at healing. He will also be fitted for a Life Vest which is like an external monitor and defibrillator, because he is having arrhythmia. When your heart function is severely decreased this is very dangerous and can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden death is a risk we face with this disease. So obviously, not being able to work means no income and the medical bills are rolling in. Mike’s monthly bills are piling up and he could really use a hand. He is always willing to help people and now he needs some help. It will likely be a couple of more months before he can return to work in any capacity, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!
