Helping the family of Everett Loehr
Donation protected
Everett Loehr is my nephew. He is only 3 years old battling one of the toughest conditions. Everett was born with "Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy", which is a condition in which a portion of the heart becomes thickened. This results in the heart struggling to pump blood. He has had an uphill battle from the beginning.
My brother, his wife and Everett traveled to from Ohio to Minnesota, leaving their lives and jobs behind to try to find a solution. Everett had open heart surgery on November 1st in Minnesota . They went in and removed all of the obstruction (the thickening). The surgery was successful. He was stable. Then things took a turn.
A few hours later he went into cardiac arrest. They had to re-open his chest and manually start his heart bc he would not respond to the paddles. He was then put on a heart lung bypass machine with his chest left open for 5 days for precaution. He then went into surgery to have a defibrillator pacemaker all-in-one unit placed just below his ribs.
After the second surgery, he went into cardiac arrest again. The defibrillator did its job and shocked him to revive him. This is the latest as of today Nov. 11th.
This sweet boy has went through so much in the last 10 days and my brother and his wife have not only had to watch their son struggle but they also spent a ton of money on hotels, beings off work, and the hospital bills are piling up fast! I just want to try and help them any way I can. Thank you for even taking the time to read this!
