Update:
We got the call he is having surgery today they are doing the heart transplant now. We are so happy to receive this gift. Please pray for the dr's and my dad. Thank you. For all the support.
My name is Briana and I am Larry's step daughter. Our dad is in need of a heart transplant and possibly a kidney as well. Mom and dad just got a phone call last week telling them he has been scheduled to have an L-Vad placed on Feb 3, 2021. They are hoping it will help with the blood flow to his kidneys and not have to do dialysis. The L-Vad will be an open heart surgery taking about 5 hrs. It will take the place of his heart. He will be in the hospital for 12-14 day after surgery as long as everything goes well. Then he will come home and need round the clock care for 3 months. He will have new medications to pay for, many trips to the hospital and supplies. My mom can't stay at the hospital with him. With Covid we are not sure how the visitation will work. His surgery will be in Seattle. These funds will help her be closer to him and help with the increased expenses when he comes home. We are not sure how any of this is going to look after surgery. We understand things are tough for everyone right now. Mom didn't want to ask for help but I know this is going to be a big hardship for them. I don't want mom to be stressed about money when she needs to concentrate on dad. Thank you so much!!
