As most of you know, or none at all. Fiftykal_killa has been in the hospital for over 2 weeks.
Fiftykal is a new member to the Empir3 clan, but also my 15 year old brother in law. We've found out his kidneys are completely shut down. When we found out they were at 15%, and that was with both of them working. Now nothing, he's had 3 surgeries this week to set him up on dialysis. A few days ago they did a blood transfusion and his body took it very well.
Yesterday they put in the tube in which he will have to connect to the Dialysis machine every night probably for the rest of his life. His diet has changed dramatically, he cant eat or enjoy half the stuff a 15 year old kid can. He cant go out and skateboard, ride a bike, play football untill/if he gets a transplant. On top of all this his blood cell count (white i think) is crazy, it wont fight infections like you or me normally. A simple bug bite on his forehead swelled up and puffed his eyes out like someone beat him up pretty badly. His blood pressure goes off the charts all the time, about 170 over 120 alot of the time.
Although it is serious, its not as serious as he will die soon. They are talking about transplants, might happen i hope soon. he has 9 siblings, he's the youngest. He's always got the hand me downs from shoes, clothes, bikes, games and pretty much the shit end of the stick. Now that he's the only child home life just got even harder for him. BUT, he qualifies for Make A Wish Foundation. Which will help lift his spirits and ours.
I havent been able to work this week as my wife has been out of town with her mother at the hospital with him learning how to work the machines and getting more information about all this. To better understand what he needs to do, eat, rest, etc. Ive been at home taking care of the house while their gone. It's pretty hard on us to deal with, his dad works out of town all week, home every other weekend, or one day a month.
They say the doctor bill now is about 60k. He doesnt have, or isnt on anyones insurance. My wife and mother in law returned today and gave me a bit of news. The hospital is trying to set up cash payments with his mom. No check, no credit card or bank account because we could close them when we wanted. And seems like the want a cash payment before he leaves the hospital! WTF? I was gonna set up a donation area for him last week but have been crazy busy figuring out time off work, kids, and paying the bills around here.
I set up a pay pal acount today. For those that want to help its apreciated. For those that cant, or dont want to just support would be great. Even 5$ would help. IF all our friends we play with, or war against did 5$ would be a big help. Not asking for a huge donation. just a lil here and there to help foot the DR bill. I never used a pay pal acount so i dont know what info you all need to use it, the email i set it up with is KingEmpir3@yahoo.com. (i think thats what you need) if its sumthin other than that let me know please, come by our site as ill be checking that more often then other sites ( www.Empir3.darkbb.com )
Hopefully we can hurry him home so he can do what he loves to do since starting socom. Shooting it up with the big dawgs. Ill Start a post for him on our forums so when he does return home he has sumthin to read knowing we had his back the whole time.
Thanks For The Support.
