Prayers and Support for McKenzie's Family

Donation protected
I'm not sure how to really go about this asking for help in this way. But here it goes...
Our cousin McKenzie Bowen is in a very unexpected place right now. There is so much that is unknown for what is to come with him. He is young and brilliant. He is so calm and kind. A young man who has a world to see if it is God's will. Unfortunately we don't know what God's will is at this time. His mom Gemma and dad Rick have not left his side since McKenzie first went un responsive. With them only having one income due to another disability in the family I would like to ask others for their help to relieve them of this stress. If McKenzie is God willing able to pull through it will be months of hospital stays and years of recovery and medical assistance. Anything is everything to them. A little of what is going on,
He went in on Monday September 9th after going unconscious and not really responding. He got to the hospital with his triglycerial numbers over 2,000 and sugar levels extremely high. Once they started looking into everything they realized his organs have already began to shut down. He is also septic possibly from an ulcer in his pancreas leaking. That caused so many chain events it seemed like. Temperature 107. They transferred him out of Zanesville and to Columbus for better care after they tried and could not get the dialysis to work. As soon as he got to Columbus they went to work right away. After hours of trying they where finally able to get the dialysis machine to start working yesterday September 12th and his Temperature went down. That was the hope we all needed. This morning we got the news that his blood pressure has plummeted after trying 3 different medications to help get it to safe levels. His body is tired but we are still praying for that miracle.
I know this is long but I'm also not asking for something easy.
If God is leading you to donate please do, no amount is too small. But I am truly asking for prayers more. Not just for McKenzie to heal, but for his mom and dad, his brother, his cousins, aunts and uncles, his friends to heal with what might come next. I will do my best to keep this updated, my husband is military so we are kinda far from home and this is a way we can help for now. Please pray for healing in all forms for all members, thank you.
