My dad is currently in the hospital following a quadruple bypass. My dad is going to need cardiac and primary follow up care as well as new medications that may be expensive. This money would help with medication, follow up appointments, at home supplies, and medical bills. Currently, my mom is the main financial provider in the home due to my father’s disabilities and many know she is not one to ask for help. This has caused a great deal of stress on her as well as my dad. I want to help give my mom the ease of mind to help her focus on my dad.
Back story and further explanation:
My dad was admitted to the hospital this past Friday for a toe amputation due to an infection. Originally the surgery was scheduled for early afternoon Saturday. Saturday rolled around and the surgery was pushed to Sunday due to an overbooked OR schedule. Unfortunately over the night on Sunday my dad hit a huge decline. He was diagnosed with AFIB, DKA and sepsis due to the toe infection. Unfortunately his heart was rapidly beating and irregular due to the AFIB and had extreme shortness of breath. Sunday and part of Monday he was transferred to ICU at Memorial Hermann Northeast in Humble due to his condition. They scheduled him for an ASAP heart cath to go in and see what exactly needed to be done. That happened yesterday and we were informed that he has several blocked arteries in his heart. He was immediately life flighted to Memorial Hermann downtown to the CVICU center for critical cardiac care. He is currently intubated due to respiratory distress, has fluid in the left lung and around his heart. He was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia. My dad had a quadruple bypass, ablation, and closure of a heart defect on Wednesday. Additionally, he will soon have a pacemaker inserted as well as the original toe amputation, He is estimated to remain in the hospital for an additional two weeks.
We are thankful for all the doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and other healthcare professionals who have cared for him during this time. We ask that you pray for strength and health. We ask that you pray for guidance and steady hands of the doctors and nurses. All prayers are needed and extremely appreciated. Additionally, if you are involved in a church we ask that you add my dad, Larry Holland Jr, to your prayer list.
I love you daddy and we are so ready to have you home in our arms❤️
Thank you in advance❤️
