Our Story
Two days after our daughters 13th birthday, Travis went to the hospital on Feb 3rd from a massive seizure, which caused cardiac arrest. After going into cardiac arrest and flatlining for 2-3 minutes, some of his organs began to shut down. Due to this, he had to be intubated and have emergency surgery.
After his third surgery he fell into a coma, lost his gag reflex and was no longer moving any limbs. Now, he is full conscious, has a trek to breathe but still unable to move any limbs. He is regaining some motor activities to his face. They believe he has critical care polyneuropathy and myopathy and will regain movement soon. I met Travis when I was 16 years old, and been together since high school, and have been in love with him since. As you can imagine this has been tremendously difficult for our family emotionally and financially. Any money donated will help with paying our rent. Thank you!
