Please help
Please help! It was a "normal" day and as my husband was just getting up to get ready for work - he said something isn't right and grabbed his head. Then he could not say anymore - just fell on the bed in pain. We called 911 and they rushed him to the nearest ER. After that they life flighted him 3 hours away to a specialty Neurology Hospital, Shands in Gainsville Fl. His brain was bleeding. They immediately put a tube in to drain the blood and fluid off his brain (you can see it in the picture). He then got moved to ICU. We were in ICU for I believe 13 days (days are running together). In ICU he had 3 more brain surgeries - so 4 brain surgeries total. One of those surgeries was an open brain surgery - they did have to remove a portion of his brain due to the bruising. He had to put a shunt in because even after the surgeries his brain could not tolerate the pressure so now it will forever drain in his stomach area. He also suffered from a stroke while in surgery. We finally got moved out of ICU but are still here in the hospital, I believe it is 16 days now. The surgery was such a unique and hard surgery our surgeon is doing a write up about the procedure in the BMJ Journal. My husband will be moving (if all goes as planned) to an inpatient rehab facility Monday. Where he is expected to stay up to 2 months. He has lost sensation on his right side, coordination & some mobility on left side, and can't remember all conversations. He hallucinates some and has a hard time staying awake. However DRs are very optimistic that he will make a very good recovery. He is ready to start working and getting back to life as much to normalcy as he can. We don't like to ask for help but after getting the bill for JUST the helicopter ride in the amount of $67000 I feel as I don't have an option. We do have insurance however we have a huge out of pocket max and copays. He was the sole provider in our family and disability is only 60% of his paycheck. We just moved to FL a year ago we know nobody here and have no family around. We moved for his job (which is in healthcare) they allowed him to go on FMLA while he is recovering. We could really use some help if you are able. If not there is no hard feelings at all - we totally understand. We ask that you continue to pray for us - God will provide. Thank you all for everything!!
