Steven Andrew Didmon Medical Fund
Donation protected
My son Steven Andrew Didmon went for a simple Hernia operation at the Siloam Hospital in Bali on the 12th of July 2017.
Unfortunately things turned bad when they administered the epidural anaesthetic and my son Steven went into cardiac arrest.
A team of doctors and support staff gave my son CPR for two hours whilst ventilating him, after two hours of his heart constantly stopping they finally stabilised him.
Steven was on life support for a week and a half which during that time has had daily Haemodialysis due to the fact that his kidneys are not functioning properly, his lungs were also not functioning properly and he was breathing assisted with a ventilator tube for 2 1/2 weeks.
It was touch and go for Steve, he is slowly improving but still requires Haemodialysis daily, Steve took a turn for the worst last night and is back in ICU where he was intubated again
We have huge medical expenses in Bali as Steve did not have insurance and we have organised a medical evacuation Company Medical Air to bring him back to Perth as soon as possible the cost for this is 47,500 aud. My sons wife Lovia has negotiated with the hospital and we have received a discount of 30K aud leaving us with a 50K aud bill, the hospital wants full payment of the 50K bill before Steven can be released.
We require funds as soon as possible to meet the hospital expenses and to prepare for his repatriation back home.
Steve will need on going dialysis, and rehabilitation to help him gain back his limb functions due to the length of time in hospital ICU.
