My best buddy of 29 years, the best man of my wedding, and co-worker, was recently dealt a tough situation. Jim had been fighting pneumonia for weeks with numerous bouts of antibiotics with little to no progress. After visiting Regions Hospital for what was hoped to be a simple culture, he was admitted due to a blood oxygen level of only 88% because of blastomycosis or fungal pneumonia. Fungal pneumonia isn't a week's worth of pills away from getting better; it can take years to get back to some level of normalcy and will likely leave a lifetime of lasting effects on Jim's health. Jim and Colleen are looking into specialists and a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN which will hopefully bring positive news, but it will also bring on more medical expense and expenses for travel.
As Jim and his family navigate this new normal, I want to make sure they can still enjoy something that their entire family enjoys, and that is wrestling. Cora recently won the Regional Championship and is on to the State Tournament! I know that training, preparation, traveling, etc., all costs money. On top of a mountain of medical bills, I want to make sure all of the kids can maintain their hobbies.
Anything helps!
