In early April, Robert started showing symptoms of Covid-19. Like the trooper that he is, he struggled for days with fevers over 102 and horrific body aches. By April 13th, he was taken to Seton Hospital in Kyle, TX and admitted immediately.

Multiple tests have come back negative for Covid-19 despite all symptoms exactly matching the Coronavirus.  His condition worsened and he needed to be intubated.

Doctors were so fearful for his life, they made the decision to medically induce a coma.

Since being in in the hospital, this has been a severe rollercoaster ride as this disease has ravaged its way throughout his body. After being on the ventilator, they performed a tracheostomy and that seems to be helping him more with breathing.

The lasting effects of this virus and the medicine are nearly insurmountable. His kidneys and liver are failing and he may need dialysis treatments.

Unfortunately, Robert had no insurance, and while we are in the process of obtaining emergency assistance with his bills, this will not cover day to day life for his family, nor long term rehab facility where he would have the chance to get the best care possible. 

Anyone who knows Robert, knows that he deserves this fighting chance as he is only 55 and and beautiful life with Jeaninne ahead of him. He is a wonderful, intelligent, funny man, and is always the first person to reach out and help anyone in need. However, the tables have turned and HE desperately needs US. 

Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. No amount is too small, and we are so thankful for all the prayers, support, good vibes, etc that you all have provided throughout this ordeal. 

Robert truly is EVERYONE'S BROTHER.

All the money raised will go to Rob's family through Janinne Litz.
