Our Family Struggle; Fight for K4

My name is David "Kip" Miller III...my family and I live in Middletown, CT and our son is in the Hartford Hospital ICU fighting for his life.

*** I do not have facebook so I am connecting this campaign to my wife's account ***

In the early morning of Friday June 9th, 2017 our son David "Kip" Miller IV aka K4 was found unresponsive in a movie theater in Manchester, CT. He had gone to see Pirates of the Caribbean Thursday night and never made it out of his seat.
Kip returned from Afghanistan a few years ago and had developed respiratory issues/diminished lung capacity due to unknown circumstances. He had posted to facebook while deployed how the dust was fierce and at times coughed blood. Once home he told stories of the burn pits where everything was disposed of, dead dogs of all things being a focus of these accounts.
He was prescribed inhalers and breathing treatment machines which he used at night but his struggle to breathe, the terrifying choking and coughing fits, and the general dazed look on his face after each episode showed a deeper concern that needed further attention.
On June 9th, he went to the showing alone, something he enjoyed. He recently told Rita how mid week, late shows were the best! No lines, no hassles, no idiots or distractions. With his broken sleep habits and general trouble sleeping due to PTSD and his breathing disorder, it gave him a chance to relax and pass the time.
The movie ended around 12:20am, the theater emptied and the other 7 patrons left. Cinema employees did not clear the theater and the building was locked by 2am. At 2:30 the contracted cleaning crew arrived as usual, began at theater 1 and when arriving at theater 10 saw K4 sitting in his chair. He was in the very first row of the stadium seats - the handicapped seats that he always preferred. Unfortunately, since the Batman Returns tragedy, company policy is to NOT approach or disturb anyone found in the theater after closing. Notify the on-site crew manager, who in turn notifies his manager, who in turn calls 911 and that first responder is the first to assist.
Kip had lost consciousness sometime after 10:30 (film confirms arrival, ticket purchase and snack bar purchase on his way to his seat). The first person to reach his side was roughly 3am.
He was not breathing and had no heartbeat, unclear how long he was down. He was revived and received CPR then loaded into an ambulance. He flat lined again in route and was again shocked and received CPR. At the ER he again went into cardiac arrest for 15 minutes before regaining a pulse. He has been on life support ever since with extensive brain damage and his recovery in question. Should he survive the ICU it could be weeks or months before he could transfer to a long term rehabilitation facility. 
We are launching this campaign in an effort to be by his side; to give him the love and support he deserves; and to assure him he is not alone. Business has suffered in our absence, our younger children need sitters, the family is scattered and feeling detached. Hotels nearby are costly as are meals, parking, and other expenses involved with this change. The time involved is immense and many families have been destroyed having to choose where to focus. Nobody should have to choose and my boy should not be alone. He shows signs of improvement or maintains his condition while we are with him...and he shows signs of anxiety and pain, high blood pressure and other complications in our absence.
Income is reduced while all of the normal bills remain. Additional debt piles up and family survival weighs as heavy as the tragedy itself when the lights are shut off and the bickering starts. These funds will be transferred to our personal account; applied to the costs associated with being by his side as well as the resulting gaps in personal income. We expect to accrue legal fees as we move forward as well as other, unforeseen financial hurdles and complications.
Maybe we're naive or even irresponsible with these wishes...maybe we'll adapt over time and find a balance that can work, but the next couple of months are crucial and uncertain; I'm lost and need to fight for him...I need to fight along side him. Please help us help K4 and keep our family together through this tragedy. We're hopeful, but realistic, we're lost but looking for answers, we just want to be with our child and not lose everything at the same time.
