Rest In Peace, Paul Eugene Brown.

Paul Eugene Brown passed away @ 5:12 am on November 24th, 2019.
He was a loving dad, son, husband, brother, and grandpa ❤️

For almost three weeks straight he has fought for his life and fought hard, he went into the hospital on November 6th, with pneumonia and severe pains within his stomach and liver. Not knowing that on that next Saturday he would end up in the ICU to be placed on a ventilator that would now be breathing for him and he would be sedated in a medical coma. He became septic which means he caught infections within his body that were taking a toll on him and traveling through his blood stream. He was placed on dialysis on November 10th to maintain his kidneys because they were shutting down due to his liver and to help clean some of the toxins out of his blood. On November 13th, we received the worse news, he was placed in another room in the ICU where this time he was in critical conditions and we were told the next 3 days were very critical and severe and that he was very sick. Each of those 3 days, he seemed to be getting better, small steps but somehow gave us hope. The dialysis was helping his kidney levels and was helping the enzymes within his liver and the levels kept rising each day.  The problems that occurred while the days passed was that his blood pressure kept going high and low, his body temperature kept dropping, he wasn’t urinating or having any sort of bowel movements, he had a a fib irregular heart rate, he was turning yellow (jaundice), which all indicated that his liver and kidney was still not doing any good. He had been put on 15-20 different medications during his stay that put alot of hard work and strain on his body. We hadkept going day by day after that assuming that he was doing better each day and we truly believed that. On November 23rd we had received the worst news of all and altogether he was not doing as well as we thought and was actually suffering because he would never come home as the person we wanted or hoped for and that the chances of him coming home was a one and in a million chance like winning the lottery. He had been in the hospital for a little over two weeks and ultimately did not make any huge turn arounds for the hospital to even believe that he had a chance of making it out of the hospital into recovery. The nurses and doctors broke the news down to us and told us to accept what we cannot change and prepare for the worst. They had toldus that he was in pain and he was suffering which we decided was the worst thing we could put him through because the machine and our family wanting him to fight and make it out was the only thing that was keeping him alive. We came to the conclusion that we wanted him to be at peace and be comfortable and we were going to remove all the machines on November 24th, 2019 around Noon. Well that drastically changed in the early morning of the 24th when we were told to call in our family around 1am because his vital signs were just not cooperating and he was fighting against everything and the medicines weren’t helping anymore. Once the family all got there we had came together and decided that it was time for him to go at peace. The nurses gave him medicines to help comfort him so that he wasn’t in pain and we called in the chapel to come pray over him and his family. Once this was done, we slowly but surely moved to the next step of stopping the medicines and turning off all the machines. 4 or 5 minutes later, he took his last breathe and his heart stopped beating. He was surrounded by everyone that loved him and went to heaven in peace! 

He did not have life insurance and did not have any money saved for something like this, so it was unexpected. We are asking for donations to help put him to rest the way that he wanted. Any and everything is appreciated. Thank you so much!
