May 28th, Lance suffered a major stroke while at his home. Luckily his mother Victoria was there and rushed him straight to the hospital. Lance had a blood clot on the left side of his brain that left some damage. The right side of Lance’s body was not functioning properly and he could no longer talk. After lots of tests, it was revealed Lance has advanced lung cancer in both of his lungs. He also has extensive heart damage as his aorta needs replaced, and uncountable blood clots throughout his body. A pump was put in Lance’s stomach to keep some of the clots from entering his heart but there is nothing doctors can do about the rest as there is just too many.
We all know Lance is a fighter and that’s exactly what he started doing. He has been in the hospital ever since and has
been learning to talk and walk again. His goal was to get better for his son Lasun and he was starting to make good progress.
Unfortunetly, on June 15th, Lance suffered another major stroke. This time on theright side of his brain. All of his progress was gone. Doctors told his mother there was nothing they could do that would save his life. After much debate and countless conversations with all of Lance’s doctors, Victoria had to make the one decision no mother should ever have to make. Shehad to tell the doctors to stop life saving procedures and transition to comfort care only.
Right now Lance is sleeping peacefully in ICU surrounded by his loved ones.
Obviously this entire ordeal was very unexpected as Lance is only 39 years old and so full of life. Lasun is having to wrap his head around losing his daddy and his best friend. It’s hard for our family to ask for help but we have no choice. Any donation to go towards Lance’s expenses would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you have a memory of Lance you would like his son to have, please email it to me at [email redacted]. I will be putting all the stories/memories into a book for Lasun to keep.
Thank you and please pray for comfort for Lance, Lasun, Victoria, and our family.
