Father & Husband Organ Failure
Donación protegida
I don't think anyone ever wants to have to ask for help. But what's a girl to do when both her Daddy & Husband are suffering Life Threatening Organ Damage that has the potential to be Fatal if not corrected & to have it happen at the exact same time, at that.
Our Family has been hit hard with Unexpected Illness. My Father started treatment 6 weeks ago for the ending stages of Cirrhosis of the Liver. This week we found out that my Husband is currently in Stage 5 of Kidney Failure.
While the VA covers the medication for My Father, the side effects have made it hard for him to work. From trips to Madison for Dr appts, missed work & everything in between, we have had a hard time financially as it is.
Now my Husband is sick and will need Dialysis until hes able to get a Kidney Transplant. This will prevent him from going back to work right away as well. I will need to be home more to help care for him while we adapt to these procedures and changes.
When My Father was diagnosed, My Husband was my Rock. Now that he is also sick, Things are very difficult to process, adapt to & accept.
In turn, although this is very hard because I want to be able to fix everything myself and make it all ok.....I'm just not able. Which is why I am asking for help. I will need a little more time off of work myself to help care for the both of them. We have kids. We have bills. Everything is adding up and although My Faith is STRONG.....I am naturally fearful. I don't know that anyone is ever truly ready for this type of thing but we most definitely are not prepared emotionally or financially.
If you're able to help at all, please know that it's greatly appreciated. It's going to be a long road of recovery and this money will be used to help My Husband and I & My Father with the bills that continue to pile up even when it feels like life has us at a stand still.
Thank for taking the time to read this. Please keep our Family in your Prayers. We need them more than ever as My Husband & My Father go through their treatment and our new journey begins.
