My husband Billy went to the hospital on Friday March 8th thinking he had pneumonia and found out that his heart was only squeezing at 10%. They sent him to Tacoma General and on Saturday we almost lost him. His HR went from 150 to 72 and BP from 130/119 to 99/58. They ended up putting in a Ballon pump to take some of the pressure off of his heart. His main arterie is 90% clogged. His heart is too damaged to do stints or a bypass. His only option is for an LVAD device but he's not a candidate at this time. The goal is to hopefully make it home with an IV and depending on his progress on the meds then possibly talk about LVAD in 6 months. This is going to be a long process and there is no guarantee that he will make it out of the hospital or how long of life he truly has. His heart is very damaged and there is no coming back from the damage.
I am not one to ask for help but I am the sole provider for my family and need some help with the financial burden this will put on us. Unfortunately he doesn't have medical at this time either but I am applying for programs to help us. I just need help with the extra fuel costs, food and whatever else may come our way. Lots of prayers for our family.
Thank you for your time.
April
