My wife Carla is in the ICU after a serious hemorrhage to the back of her brain, which caused a blood clot building pressure in the brain fluids, and we’re facing ongoing medical costs without insurance. She’s unresponsive, and the family is doing everything we can to support her recovery. If you’re able, please share or donate to help cover her urgent care and give her the best chance to heal. Update: Carla is still at the hospital, and has been able to open one of her eyes and look at us, shrug her shoulders a few times, wiggled her toes, and stick her tongue out a few times. Her right eye was swollen, but it's getting better. But Carla lies in bed and is not able to move. The doctors placed a tracheostomy tube below her neck for her to breathe with an oxygen line and a feeding tube in her stomach. Every bit of support makes a difference during this difficult time. Thank you for your support and prayers. gofund.me/3c5e4794e

Sunday, October 11, 2026 Carla was discharged this past Monday, September 28, 2026, but she is still not able to stand up on her own. Unfortunately, just before we were being sent home, they told us that the home health care company will not accept us; they said they are at capacity. During the week, we tried to get other health care companies to take Carla, but they were also at capacity. At least this is what we are told. We’re now home on our own, no skilled nursing, no physical therapy, no speech therapy, no wound care, and so on… I’m trying to figure out how much insulin to give, when to give it, when to give the blood pressure medicine and when not to give it, and so on. We gave it all to Jesus and Our Loving Mother in prayer. But by the grace of God, one of our Nurse friends helped us, and I am able to ask questions when needed. After a few days, we were able to obtain services from Carla’s original wound care and she will be coming at our house to treat the bed sore wound. We still have not been able to find a physical therapy person, which is needed. But Carla is exercising daily, getting up daily into the wheelchair, using the toilet, and practicing standing up. We have added ankle weights to her exercise routines. Unfortunately, all of these services we are paying out of pocket and every other supplies and equipment that we need to take care of Carla at home, and the supplies are going fast and it’s all very expensive. But having Carla at home is worth it, and she is more at ease and getting more of her strength. With a stand-up lift, where we pull Carla up and she also pulls herself up at the same time, she has been able to use the bathroom for the first time in over 6 1/2 months. She is sitting more in her wheelchair too. She has done more here at home than was being done at this last facility. Please continue your prayers, and we appreciate all of your support.

Carla is continuing her progress, and she is attempting to get better and trying her best to get up and stand, but she is still bedridden and not there yet. Carla has been getting occupational and physical therapy and making improvements. The wound doctor said her bed sore is deep but it’s getting better. He said it can take months to heal. But as Carla can start moving around more, this will make it easier to heal. The lung doctor came by; he said that the breathing was good and that she has a good heartbeat. This morning, they did a swallow test with Carla eating ice chips and vanilla pudding. The doctor said they are now waiting for the test results to make sure everything she swallowed, no particles went into the lungs. Carla is constantly more awake and talking, but we are trying to read her lips, and it’s tough. We want to answer all of her questions. We also need prayers for the successful removal of the tracheotomy and feeding tube, and there is blood in the urine, and for her deep bed sore wound to heal. Carla has been making great progress over the last few days. She is continuing to get more and more motion and better control. Physical and Occupational therapy have been working her well with several exercises, and she is now sitting up in a jerry chair multiple times a day. Carla is now also able to eat real food every day, as they are weaning her off the feeding tube. The other big news is that they will now begin the process of taking off the tracheotomy, where they will start the process of placing a cap on the tracheotomy over time. Please continue to support her with your prayers and contributions; they are greatly appreciated.

My wife is making progress, she is still bedridden with a tracheotomy tube and a feeding tube. She is still not able to help herself. But, she is making great progress, she is now more awake during the day, has been taking, but hard to hear because of the tracheotomy tube. She is on track for the next step before they can remove the tracheotomy tube, which is awesome. She is also doing better with occupational and physical therapy. Great news is that there were no brain damage, and we are looking forward to a full recovery and bringing her home. Thank you so much.
