SUPPORT CASEY'S RECOVRY & FAMILY RELIEF

Since Wednesday, August 14, 2024, my 25-year-old son, Casey, has been in critical condition facing serious multiple health issues, as well as many critical procedures and surgeries. Casey had to be transferred from Fairview Hospital by Life Flight to Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, where he is in the Intensive Care Unit.

Casey has a serious staph infection which entered his bloodstream and is affecting his entire body. He is extremely sick, as this serious infection has spread to his brain, heart, lungs, spine, and kidneys. He was placed on a ventilator and had to be put into a medically induced coma. He has a minor brain bleed, which doctors are keeping an eye on. Both of Casey's lungs had bleeding and blood clots, which the surgical team had to perform a very critical procedure to stop the hemorrhaging and remove the blood clots. His platelet count is extremely low and so he is receiving bags of platelets and bags of blood to help increase his levels. Due to the severity of this infection, his kidneys shut down and had to be placed on 24-hour dialysis to help clean his bloodstream and try to get his platelet level up as fast as possible. The Cardiologist found myocarditis inside his heart valve. When Casey can become stable enough, he is also facing open heart surgery.

Because this very sad situation came about so unexpectedly, it has put a financial hardship on the family. We are asking for prayers for strength and for Casey's speedy recovery, as well as donations during this difficult time. Thank you in advance for all of your prayers and support! Casey has a long road of recovery ahead of him. I will continue to post updates as they occur.

Feel free to leave any comments, questions, or concerns at ([email redacted]). I will try to respond back as soon as I can.

Thank you & God Bless!
