<div><strong>My brother David Houston is in ICU at UNMC hospital in Omaha with a massive brain bleed.</strong> He just had an open heart surgery to have a mechanical valve placed 2 years ago after an aortic valve stenosis. Because of this new valve, he was put on a blood thinner called warfarin. However, now with the brain bleed, they need his blood thicker to help his brain but thinner to keep his heart functioning properly. This is a very scary line they're walking to keep things where they need to be for both brain and heart.

<div>He will be in ICU for about a week if all goes well, then to a general room for a week to monitor his heart and restart the higher warfarin levels, then into a short term rehab for a few more weeks. This is the father of my nephew that just had three open heart surgeries in March. <strong>There is only so much that insurance can cover and with lost wages from the last surgery and now this hospital stay, this family is in very real need financially.</strong> Please pray and give what you can. My family has truly been through the wringer with serious and terrifying medical issues.
