Todays marks 15 days in the hospital following two “life or death” surgeries to remove a spinal abscess that had formed in (my wife) Tara’s back. Following the surgeries we’re battling the original infection as well as the infection that is now in her blood. After two weeks Tara is still looking as (best case) several more days. We’ve been SO touched by the outpouring of Love, Support, and Incredible ppl that have rallied around us. A wonderful friend of ours setup a GoFundMe, being that we still have no real idea how long she’ll be out of work or even how much longer we’ll be in the hospital or big of a bill we’ll leave this hospital with. If you would like to help, here is a link to the GoFundMe setup by our incredible, thoughtful, proactive friend Angela. Every little bit helps, even just sharing the link. Thank you to ALL that have been so generous and supportive, it means the world! 🙏❤️🫶🙌
