Support Troy And his Family
Hi, I am Vicki, my husband is Troy, and our children are Jacob , and Alisa. Of the 5 children 2 are still young and living at home the other 3 are grown and making a lives of thier own.
I am not really sure where to begin with this there has been so many thing happen in our little family so i am going to start from our move from Liberal Missouri back to Lamar Missouri. I was diagnosed in May 2016 with breast cancer. My husband Troy was an over the road truck driver and i was a stay at home mom. Needing my husband by my side god answered our prayers not in the way that we thought was good but it turned out to be good. Troy was fired from his job! We prayed (jacob and I) that god would make a way for daddy to be home with us as mommy went threw chemo. Prayer answered...
As i went threw my chemo Troy my hero took care of everything the children, the house, and all that came with it. And during the midst of all this pulled togather his own business. My strong hero my superman had held everything togather and i had made a full recovery, the cancer was gone. Prayer Answered...
On October,10,2016 Troy was ran off the road by an oncomming vehicle and the person stopped to see if he was ok and then speed off. I dropped to my knees and asked God please dont take him away from me. Troy hit head on into two poles. By the second impact the truck stopped and the airbag deployed. Troy had recieved 3 blows to the chest. Impact one was the first pole impact two was the second pole and the third impact was the airbag. By the grace of god he walked away thinking he was ok. Our cousin Brandon Hammers came to my rescue and brought me to the seen of the accident. With tears in his eyes, his body treambeling and a sore beaten up body my superman was still able to wrap his arms around me as he burst into tears saying i am so sorry we have no running vehicle what are we going to do now. I told him i didnt care God would work it out i was just glad that he was ok. But the days to come told a different story, but my superman was still alive. Prayer Answered..
The days afrer Troy was sore and had started complaining he was hurting but refused to go to the ER because he did not have medical insurance, and said he just needed to rest and he would be ok. Troy slept on and off for 4 days but on the fourth day i knew something was not right and tried to get him to go to the er. Troy refused. The following morning things had gotten worse and i called 911. My superman had meet his croptionite. Troy was transported from our home in Lamar Mo to the Lamar Hospital where they looked him over and decided that there was nothing wrong and sent him home. The next 24 hrs troys condition steadly worsened and i called 911 again. This time they decided that Troy was one sick man and transported him to Freeman Hospital in Joplin Mo. Finally someone listened and my superman was getting what we thought was the care he needed. Prayer Answered...
I had no transportation, two young kids, and a husband that was sicker than i ever could have imagined. I didnt know what to do or who to call. As i sat there in our bedroom the only person that came to mind was Tina Hillis, my sister, cousin, best riend, and the one person I knew would come and be at my side for as long as i needed her. Tina was there in just an hour to be at my side threw one of the most tramatic times in my life. I told her all that had happened on that long ride. As we arrived to Troys room no nurses in sight and my superman more scared than i had ever seen him. His heart rate was so 180 and his resperations were 45 and they said that if it stayed that high they were going to intubate him meaning they were going to put him on life support. I dont know how much time went by hours felt like minutes and days felt like hours as
i walked around hearing the drs saying my husband was dying. Troy had fluid around his heart and it had caused a bacteria that was being pumped to all of the organs in his body. They could not find an antibotic that that would stop the bacteria and it was causing leasions in his internal organd and his brain. No medication was give to him except for antibotics. This made no sence to me because he was breathing so fast, heart was racing, and his blood pressure was steadly climbing. After 48 hours of this Troy started saying, "Purple, Purple, Purple!". I was standing there screaming for nurses and nurses did not come, i hit the call light and nurses did not come. After 12minutes 2 nurses came walking into his room I told them what had happened and the nurse to my right said she had been in with troy 10 minutes ago and he was talking just fine and they left the room. I knew this was untrue because i was alowed to come into the ICU 15 minutes early. As Troys condition began to worsen i ran into the hallway and screamed, "I need HELP!" Dr's and nurse came running Troy was having a seisure, and strokes. As i stood the watching my super man fade away I dropped to my knees and called out to God please don't take him away from me. The Dr. Took me out into the hall and showed me the results of the CT scan they had just done minutes earlier. On Troys front right lobe of his brain was a blood clot what seemed to be the size of my fist. The Dr. started saying, " Mam i am so sorry but there nothing else we can do. Is there any family you need to call." Again i called out to God begging and pleading for him not to take troy away from me. From there things got blurry and my mind just shut down. I remember a Dr.comming to me saying that i needed to say my goodbyes and i refused. I told the Dr. I wanted troy out of that hospital and where was the next biggest hospital. They gave me a choice to have him sent to springfield or Kansas city. I prayed to God please help me make these choices and a small faint voice inside me said, "You know what to do have faith." So not knowing anything about eather hospital i felt lead to send him to Kansas. Hours later my super man was being life flighed to ku med. My super man was hanging on for dear life.
Prayer answered.
As i was running around frantically trying to make arrangements for someone to to take care of our two young children Jacob and Alisa Troy was in route to Ku Med . I got my oldest daughter Katie to take care of the kids. I got everything situated or so I thought everything was situated and on my way to KU med. When Tina and I got to KU Med they had Troy in the neuro ICU I walked into the room and looked at my honey my Superman all hooked up to wires tubes in his mouth I just prayed dear God please once again don't take my Superman away from me. A team of doctors more doctors and I've ever probably been to In My Life working on him all at once conversing back and forth saying things I didn't understand and as always Tina was there to explain it all to me. As the days went by Troy started making small improvements he started opening his eyes and looking around. I was never so glad to see those eyes.
Prayer answered.
As the days passed troy started to stabilize and was taken off the life support but he was paralyzed on the left side, lost the ability to swallow, and was having difficulty saying anything that made any snice except i love you. A g-tube was placed into his abdomen so he could start receiving nutrients. Having some experience in the medical field I massaged and moved his left arm and leg around the clock praying that God would heal my supperman. I kept having him repeat random words after me and continued to tell him to think about his left side and try to move his fingers and toes. And on the morning of 14th day troy said "Look!" and he moved his fingers and lifted his arm. My superman was regaining the ability to move his left side and 3 more days was able to stand with assistance.
Prayer answered.
On October 30th Troy was transferred to Via Christie Hospital in Pittsburgh Kansas where he started his rehabilitation. Troy was having sever spells where he would have a surges of heat begin in his forehead and radiate to the back of his head.
(i am going to finish this but i am really needing to submit so i will finish as i can)
troy just said i got sent back, i survived, i saw god!!!!
We are desperately needing help. Troy is home now and he is on alot of medications our bills are due and Christmas is just around the corner. We still have no vehicle and the only income we have is $733 Ssi and $100 every other week in child support. Our rent is $550 ,electric is $243, gas $144, and Troys meds are $180 (I was able to get one week supply on some and month on others). The Good Samaritan helped pay for 50$. I know that I am getting scared and fear is not of God but the bills are due and I just don't know what to do.
