Megan's Fight to Live & a Dads Plea

Megan has been currently placed on life support due to complications with her M.E.L.A.S syndrome. She could really use your support as it is 50 / 50 of her pulling through. Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. Megan started having seizures in 2010 , of course right during the big layoff boom , and was diagnosed with M.E.L.A.S. in 2012. Since 2012 this poor kid has been thru hell. The short story is thousands of seizures , dozens of stroke like episodes and basically living for 7 years in the hospital. Fast forward to 2018 - Megan took the dreaded ambulance ride on March 14 to the hospital for seizures. Megan continued to have non-stop seizures until March 24th , yep , 11 days straight !!!!!!! Megan is currently on life support with several difficulties. She has lost her ability to process thoughts as well as her speech has been lost. She is currently battling infections , difficulty breathing on the machines , a heart rate the stays 130 and above. Currently there is no treatment for this ugly fatal disease , thus little hope in sight. Therefore I'm on my knees asking for assistance for a truly innocent and wonderful human being. I feel very humbled and proud that I live in the USA and for americans to help my child. The insurance company dropped us years ago unless I paid a premium in which only the richest could afford. Sorry I'm just a meat and tater kind of guy and if I can't pay by cash , well then I geuss it's not meant to be. Currently Megan is sliding downhill fast and without a helmet , therefore I am asking for support to do 1 of 2 things for this truly deserving girl. these donations will either provide Megan with a much needed and deserved vacation when she pulls through , or a special funeral service for a special person. I apologize if this is not properly written or short , for I type one finger at a time , old school !!!  Today is March 26th and just returned from Megan. Not a good news day , she has now developed pneumonia as well as sepsis of the blood stream. And if thats not enough she has started to form clots which they are worried 1 might either travel to her brain or lungs. Last but most importantly , they gave me the talk. Yep the one where they don't know if she will make it and if she does Megan will need medical devices.  At least she seems to be pain free , I certainly hope so !!!!! Kiss and hug your children and remember they did not ask to be here, we must take responsibility for our decisions and treat everyone with respect they deserve no matter the age. Just one fathers opinoin. Thank you truly for listening and for letting a father vent.
