Jeff Cagle Berdoo medical care and expenses

Hi everyone! We have created this page so that we can begin to help Jeff Cagle and his family.  Unfortunately Jeff remains hospitalized at this time and has a tough road ahead.  We are asking for everyone's help so that he can receive the best care possible. Any donation is much appreciated and will go directly to Jeff's care. 

We will continue to post updates here so that everyone can stay informed and let his family focus on his care.

Here's a little background:
On 10/31/2020 Jeff was admitted to Loma Linda Hospital. He was having dizziness, moments of lethargy and lightheadedness. The drs requested CT scans and noticed some bleeding on the brain. The continued scans showed no change so that was a good sign. 

Sun 11/01/2020 - Monday 11/-2/2020  Jeff had aspirated into his lungs while at the hospital. His heart stopped around 3:45 am for about 1-3 minutes. He did respond but he was placed on a ventilator and sedated so that he could start to heal. 

Wed- Fri 11/04- 11/06 Fluid on lungs and high fevers. Pneumonia. MRI and spinal tap ordered. Spinal tap negative, MRI did NOT show major damage to the brain.

Fri 11/06 - Mon 11/09  The blood on the brain is dry and appears to be causing pressure on the brain, which may be attributing to the unconscious state and could cause potential stroke so they are considering surgery to relieve that pressure.

Since that first week so many things have transpired. Jeff has had not 1, but 2 surgeries to remove dry blood from brain using drains.  

The extent of Jeff's brain injury is not truly known and won't be until he wakes up all the way.  At this time he is completely off of sedation but is not responding to commands. He has a very long road of recovery ahead of him, with lots of rehabilitaion. 

Drs say that improvements and rehabilitation will take months.

At this time we want to help the Cagle family with any upcoming expenses. There may be medical transfers that need to be covered,  home adjustments that need to be made  (ramps, etc), full time care and lots of medical bills that will only be partially covered.  We want the Cagles to be able to be with Jeff and advocate for his care and not have to worry about anything else. 

We all love Jeff and want to watch him ride his BMW again!
