Knapps need our help (Jason's medical expenses).

Donation protected
Since June 12 Jason has been in and out of the hospital with an abscess that started in his upper left lung and above his heart. He still has an aggressive infection. It’s now been discovered it’s in the bone. The most recent CT scan shows it is causing bone damage in his collarbone, sternum, and first rib. He was hospitalized for another week and is now home on a 24 hour IV pump with a new antibiotic. The medication costs $2000 per month after insurance. On top of the highly priced medication, medical bills from all of the doctors visits and hospital stays to diagnose Jason are now quickly piling up. The infectious disease doctor thinks the antibiotics will get rid of the infection and the thoracic surgeon suspects he will need an operation to remove the infection and damaged bone. He now has a more definitive diagnosis of osteomyelitis, sternal clavicular joint infection and mediastinal abscess. The abscess is drained but the source of the infection (bone) remains. Jason will likely not be returning to work anytime soon and is running out of sick leave. They are looking into a second opinion which will be extra cost for traveling to making sure they get the best medical care and treatment for this infection. Not only is Jason our neighbor and friend but he is our mailman always ensuring everyone get the right mail! He knows us all and has never met a stranger. He would do anything for anyone without asking for something in return. Please help them raise money so they can focus on getting Jason back in good health without any additional stress.
