Hello, this is Autumn Haugen-Dallaguardia. Vinnie is facing a challenging time and could use our collective support. After oral surgery a few months ago, he developed a serious bone infection in his mouth and jaw, which led to a recent hospitalization for sepsis. He's now back home, undergoing daily hospital visits for antibiotics and medications, all while navigating the responsibilities of caring for his animals and managing household expenses. Vinnie's resilience is inspiring, and with our help, he can overcome this difficult period. The next seven weeks of treatment will be critical, and any assistance we can provide will make a significant difference in his recovery.

He has been diagnosed with Cytomegalia virus (CMV) and osteomyelitis, bone infection. Untreated CME, causes increased cranial pressure, leads to seizures and death. Untreated. The bone infection untreated leads to sepsis, untreated leads to death.

He is definitely not out of the woods and has a long road ahead.

I know Vinnie Garcia has stepped out in a dangerous zone for all of us at one time or another, I think this support is a tiny piece to repay the favor.
