Asking for support, prayers and good vibes for Erik Olson and his family. Erik, a Christian husband and father of 2; fun loving and hard working. He’s been through so much in his life...he lost his first wife, who was pregnant to suicide and suffers from severe PTSD, Then one day he fell off a roof and broke his back. Then lost everything the downturn of 08. After that, he was airlifted to Loyola University Hospital for second and third degree burns from a bonfire. Then his organs started failing from so much back pain, he got pain pump put inside his body, He was recovering. His strength and perseverance to live and make lasting memories with his wife, Kressa and their sweet, beautiful kids are strong, but his body and spirit cannot take on more and then the unthinkable happened. Headaches, nausea and then a seizure and out of now where diagnosed with a massive brain tumor 3 inches by 3 inches by 1.5 inches. On May 28th 2020, the tumor was removed along with the right temporal lobe. Immediately following surgery the biopsy showed Glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of cancer that begins within the brain, The typical duration of survival following diagnosis is 12 to 15 months, with fewer than 3 to 7% of people surviving longer than five years. Without treatment, survival is typically three months. His insurance will not cover all his medical bills and he will be in the hospital the next 4 to 6 weeks in recovery and rehabilitation. He and family will endure the biggest fight of their lives and need as much support as they can possibly get right now. Asking for support for this beautiful family in need..
