Saving the Sierra’s

4/18/25 UPDATE

✨ Please keep praying for us!

This is just too much. This provider looked me in my face and lied and gave me a drug I’m allergic to and will not take any accountability. They have known about this since Saturday. They knew Monday morning it was this bad. He would not come look at me. Would not consult and just told them to tell me to “call the office.”

They expect me to call the provider who hurt me to find a solution to my problem? Absolutely not. I’m SO TIRED of these people walking all over me and neglecting me. I want my life back. I want to run. I want to play with my kids man. I wanna swim this summer. I wanna dance with my husband and let him carry me around without pain. I just need them to fix this, I really am not okay

Please, please continue to keep us in your prayers. Eddie is still working on finding a new job, but it’s hard with my health being so unpredictable. We understand, but it doesn’t make the situation any better. I am just thankful that even though it was not a good thing he is able to be home with the kids and give them a sense of normalcy while I am here and they need that more than anything right now. Say an extra prayer for Eddie and the kids. ❤️

Thank you everyone so much for your continued support, your thoughtful comments and messages, little surprises and things to keep me comfortable and entertained. You have no idea how much all of you have saved me through this. Every little thing. Every cent. Every word. Every moment you take out of your day to support us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of our family. We couldn’t do it without you.

Things are not any better. Sadly, I lost my job two weeks ago due to missing work to be here and care for Sarah and the kids. I wouldn't change it for a thing, but it has added to all of the stress we are already under. I did not qualify for any type of job protected leave so unfortunately, I was let go.

On 3/27 Sarah went in for a procedure to aspirate the fluid from her hip and have a new drain placed. Not that it is surprising, but they did not place the drain like they were supposed to. The purpose of the drain is for Sarah to receive antibiotics and sclerotherapy through it, as well as to keep the fluid from reaccumulating over and over like it has been. This is not guaranteed to work, but it is the last resort before we have to have another open debridement.

Because they forgot to place the drain, she has to go through the procedure all over again. This whole ordeal has traumatized her beyond anything I've seen her go through, and they keep letting her down over and over again. I have never seen her in this much pain. It is a helpless feeling.

She messaged her surgeon immediately after the procedure due to the amount of pain she was in and waking up to no drain. They acknowledged their mistake, but it was still ANOTHER mistake.

The fluid has already come back worse than it was before. To top it off, her trauma surgeon told her there was nothing further he could do to help her at this time. He destroyed my wife's leg and left her suffering, with no solution, no pain management, and no trust left in her doctors.

Sarah got accepted as a patient into the Mayo Clinic, but it is a process and requires a lot of pre-admission testing and then eventual travel to Rochester.

We are keeping our go fund me open to help with everyday expenses, as well as preparing to travel. Please share our story and know that we appreciate each and every person who has been following us through this. We could not do it without our village.

If you are unable to help monetarily please consider sharing. Anything helps!

I know many of you have been following Sarah’s journey lately, and I want each and everyone one of you to know how thankful we are for your support.

We went to another trauma surgeon today that immediately sent Sarah to the ER. The swelling in her leg has gotten worse, and we are essentially back at square one. I am writing this with a humble request that comes from the deepest corner of my heart. My beautiful wife has been battling severe illness for some time now, with her condition frequently landing her in the hospital. Each visit seems like a nightmare without end, filled with uncertainty and fear.

Her strength and courage during these times have left me in awe, but as much as we fight to keep moving forward, the financial burden is proving to be overwhelming.

Medical bills and regular household expenses continue to mount, which adds a tremendous weight to our already heavy hearts. In light of this, I am asking for donations to help sustain our family during this difficult period. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. It would not only relieve some of the financial pressure but also allow me to focus on caring for Sarah and supporting her through her recovery. She needs me.

Please consider helping us in any way you can. Your support and generosity would be an answer to our prayers and a testament to the kindness and compassion that truly defines humanity. Thank you for taking the time to follow our story and for any help you can provide.
