A day we will never forget. November 21st 2018 what I thought would be a normal day turned into a life changing day. About two in the afternoon I was informed to stay calm and go pick my husband up from work and take him right away to The ER that his kidneys were failing. What we thought would be a two day kidney flush has turned into a eight day stay so far as of 11/29/2018 we are still admitted. We do not have insurance and we have been through a biopsy and a catheter placement and one round of dialysis, and X-RAYs. They informed us today that we need $60000 dollars for a month of dialysis in order to be released from the hospital. If we don’t then we stay here, they have to know he is receiving dialysis outpatient before he can be discharged. We were both full time employees at Garden Valley Retirement and Hampton Inn & Suites we have two amazing children together that we care for Rickey 13 and Sage 9. Richard has a 25 year old daughter Alysia as well that lives in Southern California and keeps in contact with us she doesn’t live here in Oregon with us. We are trying our hardest to get insurance and help threw the county were before we were denied. But at this time until everything is processed. We have been asked how people can help and we don’t want material things at all we just want to know that our kids are feed as we don’t receive food stamps and a roof stays over their head during this time. We are so blessed and have met amazing Drs, staff, nurses everyone. This will forever be in our hearts and so will everyone who has came in our paths. We don’t ask for help ever and in this time I guess it is needed I hate doing it but it’s a feeling of security right now. We appreciate and thank everyone for their continued support during this life changing event so far this is not temporary it’s for life till we hear further. We will take any help that is offered! And we thank everyone more than you will ever know.
