This is Ted
He is always talking and loves watching scary movies. He loves spending time with my two kids which are 12 and 3 and my 8 year old when she's here. He's shy until he gets to know you. Recently he ended up going to the ER for chest pains in which after several catscans later was told it was caused from Pancreatitis. As he has now been in the hospital for 4 days symptoms have drastically gotten worse. He can't talk besides saying a word here or there and he doesn't know who anyone is including my mom whom is his wife. He can't feed himself nor get up and walk. He just blankly stares when being talked to. As my kids try video chatting with him, his eyes water up but he can't react. My mom works 6 days a week 12-15 hours a day to try and make money to pay the bills as well as trying to be there with him as much as possible. The drs can't tell us how long he's going to be in the hospital but as of now it's almost as if he's partially brain dead. The few bites of food he has eaten in 4 days had to be fed to him. He's restless and has snatched all the ivs out because he has no idea what's going on at all period. They've had to run a pik line because they can't get an iv for all his veins blowing when they try.
The stress of not knowing what will happen next as well as trying to cope day to day and make ends meet are a lot for my mother.
He has insurance but it only covers a small portion. So with that on top of days to come in the hospital and symptoms going downhill by the day it could be a long way to recovery.
I'm reaching out in hope to be able to provide my mother and her husband with some kind of relief with medical bills as well as help my mother to be able to survive being the only one bringing in income and paying the bills to keep a roof over her head .
whether it be $1 or $100 anything at all helps and every dollar adds up.
all prayers are appreciated as well for we pray that he has a quick road to recovery and not continue to have worsening symptoms.
Your time is so much appreciated for reading our story and I pray you all have a blessed New Year ahead.
thanks so much everyone
