Shuji Nogami's Medical Assistance

My name is Ai Nogami. This past weekend my father said his stomach was really hurting. Later in the evening he started to throw up. My mother and I took him to the hospital and the doctors initially thought that it was a liver stone causing his sickness. The then hospital took extensive X-rays and sonograms and many other medical tests, they didn't see any other problems. 

The hospital proceeded to remove the liver stone through surgery. Strangely he threw up during the surgery process. After the surgery, my dad really started throwing up more and feeling even more sick. It turns out that the doctors didn't notice that my dad's intestines were all tangled and part of his intestine's were rotting. How this wasn't spotted during all the tests is beyond me.

So they went into surgery Monday, March 30. The surgery was to cut off 20 cms off of his intestine.  We thought he was going to get better but because he threw up so much a significant amount of vomit got into his lungs and had a really hard time breathing. His breathing rate was frighteningly high and now they have to intubate him to help him breath. The doctors are now telling me that he might not survive... 

I apologize for the selfish request but, it would highly be appreciated if you could help my mother and I by donating. This whole ordeal has been devestating for my mom and really tough on me. Please keep my dad, Shuji Nogami, in your thoughts. 

Thank you so much for reading my story and for any help you can provide.
