Update on John 9-13-12

[Patti Koehler]

John is experiencing problems with his lungs.  The bronchostomy that was performed on Monday afternoon showed inflammation.  His lungs were swabbed and sent to the lab, but the results of the bronchostomy are inconclusive.  A biopsy is not an option right now, so they are treating him with high doses of steroids.  This is their only option, as he is already on a "nuclear" regiment of antibiotics.  He is being heavily sedated in order for the respirator to adequately do it's job. 
 
I know I suggested visiting him would be a good idea, but for now, I believe he would benefit from less stimulation. 
 
We have set up a website for anyone interested in making a financial contribution for John and his family.  He is incapacitated and unable to work, for the foreseeable future.  The website can be accessed at http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=9149&url=thejohnsnyderfamilymedicalexpensefundraiser

 
Thanks, and God Bless you all!

I will make a donation - $200 - sending it to his home.

Also I'll see if McBride and Sons Charietable Foundation can help out.  They are friends of mine.

We would like to gather and say the Rosary for John tonight @ 8pm in

the Chapel at Mercy.  Realizing this is short notice-  we can also meet

Sunday evening at Mercy Chapel for another rosary.  Debbie Schneider

is calling St Clare's to see if one of the priests can make it as well.

 

We will meet Sunday @ 6:30 for the Rosary as well.
