Go Flo Go

As many people are already  aware, Florian had an unfortunate accident while playing hockey in San Sebastian, Spain. For those of you who do not know Florian , he is our son Connor's best friend of many, many years. Who is also like a son to us. The entire Xhekaj family is an extension, of our family. During an intense hockey game, Flo took a blunt hit to the abdomen causing his kidney to rupture and bleed internally.  He was place into the ICU for his time there due to the severity of his condition.  While in hospital, he also underwent two separate surgical procedures to drain the blood from his kidney and surrounding abdomen, with hopes that this will allow the kidney to heal .  Although Florian was originally supposed to fly home on May15th, his flight had to be postponed indefinitely .   His return flight is being based on his success with recovery.   He will be returning home with a catheter inserted directly into his kidney, to continue drainage  Florian's mother Simona, was not there at the time of the injury as he was travelling with our family.  As soon as physically able, Simona travelled to our location on an  emergency flight, to be with Florian.  Luckily, Florian had medical travel insurance which is greatly helping with the costs of extra flights and also hotel costs .  Although the insurance is covering the basics while the two remain in Spain, there are many future costs which will be very difficult to handle financially .   Florian has a long road ahead of him upon arrival home .   This road will require Simona to be with Florian for appointments, hospital stays and general care . Because of this, she will miss more work hours than she already has .  As everyone knows, The Xhekaj family has four children.  Besides Florian they have  one child in University, another that plays a high level of hockey and another that dances .  Both Jack and Simona work for their kids happiness and success.  It worries us that they could have a financial burden placed upon them in the future . This should be the last of their worries at this time . The focus needs to be on Florian and his care and recovery.  Many people have contacted us asking for ways that they can assist with this terrible situation.  At this time we would like to reach out to all of our friends and family to help in any way possible. No donation is too small .  Let's rally together and get this family the assistance that they deserve .   Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  #thisiswhatitsallabout
