Xan Adams Cody future and current medical bills
Donation protected
Most of you guys, my friends, and family, don’t know this....but,exactly a year shy of the day, I had a major stroke with the love of great family and a mighty God, beside me 100% of the time. I had 100’s of people watching and praying over me. Now...6 surgeries later after my brain swelled during the first surgery and 4-6 hours later, they successfully did a craniotomy of about 6” diameter...they removed about a 6” radius piece of skull from the right side and stored that piece in their bone bank for a later date to be sewn back in. Unfortunately , I developed MRSA under my skull after they put it back in on 6-6-2020 and had to have it immediately removed. Needless to say, last year I lost a lot, gained a lot and drew closer to God than I ever have. Most of my time has been spent in and out of Medical City Hospital in Ft. Worth with an undeniably phenomenal medical team.
Fast forward, with Covid, and all the restrictions, I spent most of my time alone in 2020 just trying to figure how to pay my medical bills. Yes, I have great insurance, but it pays for 80% and the going rate for brain surgery is right up there with an organ transplant.
Fast forward again to 3-10-2021 and we check into Medical City after taking a pretty nasty fall with pre-op instructions the following day, to put my synthetic bone flap in to replace my original one that had developed MRSA underneath it on 6-6-2020, just a few days later, I woke up to Scott staring at me with tears streaming down his face and holding my hand while I’m pointing at the intubation tube and lead wires everywhere, 4 vascular IV’s and a Central line in my neck and from everything from blood to antibiotics hanging and if I moved just a cm, all the bells and whistles would go off! From moving my broken pinky toe to my large toe, to my cracked tailbone, to a blown out shoulder, busted knee cap, from taking a doozy of a fall before I checked in on the 10th) ,to every nook and cranny and Scott holding my hand, telling me that I had coded twice. They had finished replacing my bone flap when I coded. 10 minutes later (yes I was still intubated and my brain was getting oxygen), as three doctors(3) gave me chest compressions and shocked me back to the land of the living twice as well, they found a faint arterial pulse and continued to work on me rather then call it. They immediately sewed up my head, transferred me to NICU and fought for my life the next seven days, while I was intubated into a heavy medicinal coma, with the most amazing team that only could have been provided to me from God! I had no clue as I slept or was placement in a medically induced coma to give me a better chance of survival.had me so out of it, that it was all like a very slow steam.
Now, tomorrow after running every test under the sun, we know why I coded. I have a prolonged QT rhythm from 2008 when I had double pneumonia from the Philippines and spent 3 months in Presbi Hospital in May clinging to 25% of one lung. Went home on with IV antibiotics for several more months apparently weakening my heart. My surgery has been (or ar least that was the last I heard until today(postponed for another 2-3 months to replace bone flap, but they’d like to keep me in hospital. It is a possibility that I will be able to have a defibrillator put in tomorrow, but Unfortunately for me, Cigna will not cover my OT and PT. I’ve racked my brain trying to come up with a way to go about this without asking for help, but God keeps telling me to humble myself and get well, strong and heal, so that I may continue His work and the things I love doing. So now I come to you in the most humble way possible and ask for a small donation. $1.00, $5.00, anything is more than I have right now and in God’s name, I must thank you in advance and ask that you pray that I avoid
Thank you in advance for even thinking of sharing anything with me. I have deleted this THANKING about 10 times, but when you’ve literally died 3 times, shocked back to life twice, vanity flies out the window quicker then you could possibly imagine it. I can tell you this, the 20% we owe the NeuroSurgeon was ripped up and said our debt with him is settled and is such a HUGE blessing and I don’t know what TO DO TO EVEN BEGIN THANKING HIM And HIS TEAM Within the confines of THAT big BEAUTIFUL , un-begrudgingly gift from the heart . I will Love you no matter what you can or cannot do. Prayers are always welcome and needed, and more than I can ever put into words it’s worth and how much it will forever be appreciated.
I love each and every one of you. 3-28-2021.
Love, Xan
