Michael Philip Russo, is my big brother! As many of you know last Wednesday he had an emergency LVAD surgery to help assist him with having a functioning higher quality life until he is so blessed with a new heart.
With deepest sadness I share that his surgery turned out to be very complex. Shortly after the first 8 hour surgery he was rushed back in for another 10 hours.
Since, he has had two strokes and to date is unable to move on his right side. It is expected that his recovery will take months, perhaps years. Leaving him unable to work, none-the-less possibly walk.
My dear sister-in-law will be the sole provider and his main caregiver. After 12 years at her job, the owner sold the company to a large, out -of-state corporation that eliminated her position. So on top of everything else going on they are now faced with her finding a new position with medical insurance under these very difficult circumstances.
The sadness and stress my family is experiencing is enormous.
Anything you are able to give within this month & into the New Year will so gratefully be appreciated.
During his favorite season of the year we wish you and yours so much love, health and the brightest 2019!
