Support Tony's Quadruple Bypass Surgery
Donation protected
UPDATE 8/20/2025
Tony went into the the Carth Lab today. They discovered that two of the vessels in the right artery (which was already worked on) had clots/blockage. They put a stent in one and then will put a stent in the second one probably around Thursday. A little unclear as to why they are waiting so long in between. Will have a meeting with the surgeon to better understand this tomorrow. Guessing it’s trying to give him time to heal between each procedure.
Thank you again for all of the support!
UPDATE 8/19/25
Update on Tony. Unfortunately, the quadruple bypass isn’t doing what it’s supposed to be doing. His numbers continue to be out whack Heart rate too low, blood sugar too high. He is going in tomorrow for another test to try and get some answers and what solutions are available to fix it. He is definitely trying to stay in good spirts. Tony, Viv and myself are incredibly for all of the love, messages, calls, hugs, donations, positive sprinkles and supoort. Will keep everyone posted as we find out more.
Hi all. This is Vivi (Tony’s daughter with a little help from her mama, Laura).
Tony went into Littleton hospital on July 7th very unexpectedly. He was extremely. His blood sugar was at 396 and his A1C at 13. He was retaining 18lbs of excess fluid. Test after test was done. Initially we thought it was due to his diabetes.
Today, we got some answers. Tony has some severely clogged arteries and there is no choice but to crack him open (his words not ours) and proceed with a triple bypass open heart surgery.
If anyone knows how anything about Tony, you know he is a hardworking man that rarely if ever stops and actually takes time for himself. This journey he is setting out on, gives him no choice but to take a time out. Focus on himself and his health.
To help take some of the burden off of him missing roughly two months of work to recover and take care of himself we thought we could raise some funds to help the man out who is always cracking a joke and always willing to lend a helping hand to either a friend or a stranger.
Tony is scheduled to go in for surgery tomorrow and we will do our best to keep everyone posted. Please text 303.947. 5879 with any direct questions.
