Miracles For Eric Michael Keahey

Donation protected
Eric Michael Keahey Jr, native of Sheridan, WY, living in AZ ...what started with the flu, a sore throat and a bad tooth, now three surgeries in, a seizure, intubated, ventilator in, infection spread from throat down esophogus to chest cavity, all soft tissues in chest infected, it's called a thoracotomy, was performed..throat and chest drain tubes. During surgery esophogus was knicked and torn because of soft tissue. He has a feeding tube in to prevent fluids and foods from entering his lungs.He has been there since Wednesday and will be there at least 20 to 30 more days.  We have to exercise his lungs when he is feeling better.  This has been the scariest moment a mother can experience being told if we had waited one more day, he would ahve died.  The pain he is experiencing and long road to recovery  is frightening, but he is a fighter.  We are concerned for finances, Dr bills, rent and utilities.  He got a leave of absence from work but me, Mom, I'm proably going to lose my job but I can't leave him.  We are a small family unit, I was a single mom, just me and my two sons.  It has been a struggle but we are a tight little group and thankfully have psychological, strength and support from my sister, Deb in Sheridan (sister n law but mostly true sister and her family).  And his grandparents here in Arizona. Michael also has family in Wyoming and Utah praying for him to get better.   Any help anyone can give us right now to help through the coming months is very appreciated.  Thank you
