Brady Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey I just got news that one of my crew members needs to have surgery. This surgery is going to remove part of his lung, since there are bleeds all over in it. The surgery alone has a 10% survival rate atatched to it. They will do the surgery in 4 weeks since they need to pump him full of antibiotics. He is a member of the city and I'm asking you to remember him in your prayers or whatever you do. He is going to need some help from somewhere if he is going to make it. He has huge heart problems to go along with this. You all know as well as I do that a crew member is family so please pray for my brother. His name is Dale. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B the EMT Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 What is his EMT City Screen Name? It doesn't matter what his EMT City name is, or even if he is a member of EMT City. As Brady already posted, You all know as well as I do that a crew member is family so please pray for my brother. May any and all of us doing EMS work remain healthy, and if not, at least a speedy recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 I just got off the phone with Dale he said thank you for all your words of encouragement and prayers. It really does mean alot to him. He told me that he is going to fight this thing and if it does take him it wont without a fight. The whole deal is stemming from a pacemaker he used to have, the leads have floated down to his lungs and caused considerable scar tissu and infection. They told him that they may have to take half of his lung but the chances of them needing to take out the whole lung are great. He is in good spirits and is fighting like crazy. There is a slim chance that the antibiotics will take care of this but that is very very slim. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so greatfull for all of the prayers and support. He is a tough fart, but he is scared too. I went to the hospital today and saw him, he is in pain from the infection but they are helping him through that. He has a lot of family which is helping him through this, and he is thinking of the future and how he can still be a part of EMS when this is done.
