<div>Hello. My name is Elizabeth. I am the daughter of Dennis and Janet Blum. On 5/21/25, my dad was taken 



</div>


<div>to the hospital with a flare up of his Emphysema and pneumonia. Soon, after entering the hospital he 



</div>


<div>was put on a ventilator. My mother, my brother, and I were told that he could no longer breathe on his 



</div>


<div>own. We questioned why my dad’s body was swelling up and were told that it was because he was not 



</div>


<div>able to move. The staff recommended that we make the decision to remove my dad from the ventilator. 



</div>


<div>We were told that when they tried to remove it his lung kept collapsing. We were told that nothing 



</div>


<div>could be done.



</div>


<div>We had my dad transferred to another hospital to get a second opinion and the doctor there believed 



</div>


<div>that he could operate on my dad lung and repair a tear that we were unaware of. The doctor explained 



</div>


<div>to us that his lung had been perforated upon insertion of the breathing apparatus. The doctor told us, 



</div>


<div>following surgery that the hole in his lung was larger than anticipated and that he was unable to 



</div>


<div>successfully repair it. This is when we found out that the swelling he had experienced was a result of the 



</div>


<div>intubation pushing air out of his lungs and into his body and enlarging the tear. He was not found to be a 



</div>


<div>transplant candidate due to heart issues and age.



</div>


<div>My dad had specifically told my mom that he did not want to have a machine keep him alive if this was 



</div>


<div>his last option. My mom made the painful decision to discontinue the ventilator on the evening of 



</div>


<div>5/12/25 and my dad passed early on 5/13/25. We are requesting help to pay for an autopsy and 



</div>


<div>assistance with funereal expenses. My mom has not yet reached retirement age, and is unable to work. 



</div>


<div>She is at risk of losing their home. We appreciate any help that you might be able to provide and ask for 



</div>


<div>your prayers as well. 


</div>


<div>Thank you.


</div>
