Everyone that knows my dad, knows he’s going to be so mad I’m doing this, but anyone that knows him, knows he deserves the world. On April 15th, my whole world changed. My dad tested positive for CoVid & bronchitis. Little did we know at the time, the outcome it would have. On April 21st, was the first trip to Mercy. My dad couldn’t breathe, couldn’t hardly walk. Felt extremely sick and his oxygen was 74-76. Mercy sent him home 6 hours later with an oxygen tank and diagnosed him with CoVid, Pneumonia & Bronchitis. One week later, April 28th was the call I never wanted to get. My dad called me & said, I need to go to the hospital now, I feel like I’m dying. I left work faster than a blink of an eye. Over the next week, was the hardest, not being able to see him, hardly talking to him. His oxygen wasn’t getting above 80 again even with the oxygen on full strength. He now has been out of work for 10 weeks and there is no return date as of now. He could of retired June 7th, but he extended it so he could finish off the year because of how crazy 2020 was.. all he wanted to do was work. He gets so mad that he cannot wake up everyday and go. He has used every once of paid time off he had. Today, I called to see how he’s getting paid for longterm disability if it’s direct deposit or check by mail and it comes to find out, he only qualified for job protection. Now the battle starts. My dad deserves nothing but the world. Medical bills are piling up. Bills will soon to follow. No one plans for something like this to happen. I can’t just sit here and watch someone who deserves the world lose everything over being sick. Anyone that knows my dad he will drop anything he’s doing to help anyone. He doesn’t care who you are, if you’ve ever been mean to him, he will help you at a drop of a dime. This past weekend he finally got to go for a little ride on his motorcycle instead of being stuck in the house on his 24 hour oxygen tank. He got the okay to take it off for a little bit at a time. He cannot go backto work until he can breathe completely on hisown 24 hours a day. He has no strength & cannot walk long distances. I’ve never been the oneto ask for help, just like he never would, but I’m scared for him. CoVid cannot win this battle. It’s going to be a long road of appointments and starting from the bottle but I know my daddy can do it.
We will fight to the end.
I’ll never be able to thank God enough for keeping him here with us..
Thank you & God Bless ♥️
