Service Dog for Mike
Donation protected
Michael is my second oldest baby... October 2,2020 he was not feeling well after the schools completely shutting down after being opened Hybrid October 4,2020 I deceided to sit in a covid testing line and wait 2 1/2 hours....
Thurs October 8th... I got a phone call that Michael was postive and i was oddly negative. My entire family went into quarantine. My older son Matthew had a job and needed to retake test to go back to work... So I took Michael and Matthew and got them retested...
October 17,2020 we were free so Mike and I went out in the morning and then we came home and Mike took a shower and said a pain came on that hurt so much he almost fell..
I thought it was just heartburn or stomach issue because of a medicine he was on..
Something didnt seem right so i took him to the ER
after sitting in a room i couldnt leave for 2 hours a Dr finally comes in.
I explained that theres a family history of blood clots.Dr examined Mike and even gave him lidocaine medicine for heartburn.
Dr also took some blood work called a DDIMER...to check blood clots because he was COVID POSITIVE..and COVID causes Blood CLOTS!!!
that blood test came back elevated so Dr ordered a ct scan and they discovered a DISSECTION and an 8CM ANERYSUM!!!!!
Michael was rushed to Hartford Hospital for emergency surgery.
Surgery went well... because he was still covid postive it was hard... I didnt sleep from 7am until midnight on Sunday...
He came home on Thursday 10/22/20.
He has an older sibling and 3 younger siblings which everyone was tested and my older son has an anerysum and my youngest son had an anerysum. So covid also saved their lives as we would of never had them tested.
He was just also diagnosed with POTS on top of everything
he also has a 4.5 cm root which will need surgery in the near future.
I am asking for help to get him a service/therapy dog as we all Myself Doctors Teachers agree he needs therapy but he says no way rather talk to a dog then a human...
i know service dogs arent cheap but i can get certified to train a dog to alert someone when Mike is showing signs hes having chest pains or if he gets dizzy and loses his vision (POTS).
I think this will help him with his mental health as he cant go to school in person.
Anything will help! Thank you very much
Nicole Wilson also wanted to ad that Since October My husband has been the only one working and has been a great help and provider for us . I know these past few months has put a lot of stress on him but he has been strong thru it all. it's hard going from a 2 income to only one where we it's just not enough for he bills. We are trying our best.
