Support Dave Pecko's Triple Bypass Recovery
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Kayla Gyle. I am the oldest daughter of Dave Pecko. This past Sunday Dave traveled down to Florida to watch Alex Yankowski race at Volusa, looking forward to a week full of racing and sunshine. Dave had been having some chest pain for the last couple of weeks but shook it off as being overworked and overwhelmed. Unfortunately, he woke up Wednesday morning not feeling himself at all, with cold sweats, chest pain, and left arm pain. After some push from his wife, Brenda and children, a family friend from the track took Dave to the hospital. After an awful looking EKG, the doctors quickly admitted him to the hospital and within a couple hours they were performing a CATH. During the CATH a stent was placed in one vein. Sadly, that wasn't the only blockage present. Dave was found to have a 99% blockage in his widow maker, along with 2 blockages, ultimately resulting in the need for Triple-Bypass Surgery. Dave was continuing to have mini heart attacks because of the severe blockages Thursday which caused them to wait until Friday the 14th to perform the surgery. Friday morning Dave went in for his Triple Bypass at 8am and his family was informed around 4:30pm he was out of surgery and doing well. This is not the end of this journey though unfortunately. Dave is looking at an 8–12-week recovery. He is self-employed and will be out of work for quite some time. We are trying to rally around him so he doesn't have to worry about how him and his wife will keep up with their monthly payments, mortgage, and any medical bills that are to come. Dave would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need and we'd love to give him and his wife the same support during this time.
