Our Beloved Bubba

Donation protected
On‎ June‎ 19th,‎ Michael‎ Durazo,‎ also‎ known‎ as‎ our lovable "Bubba",‎ was‎ taken‎ to‎ Oak‎ Valley‎ Hospital‎ in‎ Oakdale,‎ CA.‎ Unsure‎ of‎ his‎ condition,‎ we‎ were‎ told‎ that‎ he‎ had‎ pneumonia‎ and‎ was‎ very‎ ill.‎. After‎ a‎ few‎ days‎ we‎ were‎ told‎ he‎ needed‎ to‎ be‎ transferred‎ to‎ another‎ hospital‎ where‎ he‎ would‎ then‎ see‎ a‎ lung‎ specialist... Little‎ did‎ we‎ know,‎ the damage to his lungs had‎ already‎ taken‎ a‎ great‎ toll‎ on‎ his‎ body‎ and‎ did‎ a‎ lot‎ of‎ damage‎ to‎ his other organs, including but not limited to an enlarged heart.‎.. There‎ was‎ still‎ hope.‎ On‎ Monday,‎ June‎ 24th‎ Bubba‎ was‎ transferred‎ to‎ Memorial‎ Medical‎ Center‎ in‎ Modesto, CA.‎. Things‎ were‎ looking‎ up, so we all thought.. The‎ following‎ day,‎ things‎ took‎ a‎ turn‎ for‎ the‎ worse‎ and‎ we‎ were‎ told‎ he‎ wouldn't‎ make‎ it‎ through‎ the‎ night, well he did!! He‎ made‎ it‎ through that night, held‎ on‎ and‎ was not‎ letting‎ go... But that's just our‎ Bubba,‎ a‎ fighter!!!‎ Days‎ and‎ night‎s went‎ by,‎ not‎ knowing‎ of‎ what‎ was‎ to‎ come.‎ A rollercoaster of good news then bad news... Furthermore, things‎ progressively‎ got‎ worse.‎ On‎ the‎ evening‎ of‎ July‎ 7th,‎ our‎ sweet‎ Bubba‎ lost‎ his‎ fight‎ and‎ succumbed‎ to‎ his‎ illness.‎ Prayers‎ came‎ in‎ left‎ and‎ right‎ but‎ it‎ wasn't‎ enough as God already had his plan for Bubs.. While‎ this‎ meant‎ no‎ more‎ pain‎ or‎ suffering,‎ it‎ left‎ a‎ grieving‎ family‎ wishing‎ for‎ one‎ more‎ day.‎ These‎ past‎ 3‎ weeks‎ have‎ been‎ nothing‎ short‎ of‎ an‎ emotional‎ roller‎ coaster‎ for‎ the‎ Durazo‎ family.‎ This‎ account‎ has‎ been‎ set‎ up‎ in‎ an‎ effort‎ to‎ relieve‎ any‎ of‎ the‎ financial‎ burdens‎ they‎ are‎ left‎ to‎ face.‎. All‎ donations‎ will‎ help‎ alleviate‎ some,‎ if‎ not‎ all,‎ of‎ the‎ expenses‎ that‎ come‎ with‎ burying‎ our sweet loved‎ one.‎ All‎ donations‎ are‎ greatly‎ appreciated.‎ We‎ understand‎ that‎ not‎ everyone‎ will‎ be‎ able‎ to‎ donate,‎ so‎ aside‎ from‎ any‎ monetary‎ donations,‎ all‎ positive‎ thoughts‎ and‎ prayers‎ are‎ also‎ hugely‎ appreciated.
