On the Saturday morning of Oct 28 I was found unresponsive in bed that morning, and barely breathing, attempts were made to wake me up but I was out , quick thinking called 911 they got here fast based upon my condition, my oxygen levels were at around 58 they tell me later along with my right lung was almost fully collapsed, and my left lungs lower lobe was collapsed, and I was barely moving any air, they rushed me to the hospital emergency room critical care, even after all interventions, I was still on 100% life support , and faced with acute respiratory failure, ARDS caused by the pneumonia , I was also acute septic, and in full renal failure, as well other organ failure.I also was suffering according to the nurses and doctors experiencing one of the worst cases of ICU delirium and ICU psychosis. To make things even worse I had pneumonia, three weeks prior which was treated with normal protocol, but it took me out of work for a few weeks, just as I was getting ready to go back to work, out of nowhere I took a turn for the worse and it all went downhill fast and then the above happened . The doctors treated me very aggressively, but still have my chances of survival were minimal to poor, they stayed very supportive with everyone helping everyone cope, I can only thank god for this miracle, about at the halfway point I was so tired of fighting, and was ready to go home to the lord, and the doctors knew as well I was getting tired of fighting, but the strength of everyone around kept me going, giving me the will to fight, and letting me know I was slowly improving with each day. So this is my story, which is resulting in full recovery in 3’to 6’months, I have already been out of work for over a month and starting my recovery . So I figured what it costs for 1 month rent , car payment , and car insurance plus all other bills. And figure at least six months, just trying to stay afloat and keep food on the table I need alot of care at home. To anyone and everyone, life is short and precious, be thankful everyday you wake up healthy and get back home safely, you never know when it is your day. I have and still am a hard working person, and take nothing for granted. With any and all donations, every cent will be used for rent , food, and any other essentials for my care, thank you for reading and wish everyone to be happy and healthy and happy holidays
