chadster Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Although everyday comes with its own set of challenges, I'm glad to hear that Jack is improving each day. Many tall observation wheels await him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I hope that they will be able to help with the stomach acid and the blood in the stool issues so that he can continue on his path to recovery. Â I myself have been battling a really nasty flu bug for the past five days and while I appear to (hopefully) be on the upwards climb, it's terrifying to know how something that seems as simple (if not annoying) as a cold or flu bug can turn into something really serious in a matter of minutes, hours or days. Â I admit that being 44 years old and in decent health that getting a flu shot wasn't in my top list of priorities. But after seeing what has happened to Jack as well as another co-worker of mine that is currently in ICU battling pneumonia resulting from a flu virus, I am now going to make this an annual priority moving forward. They might not be foolproof, but they definitely can help with severity if infected. Â These recent strains of flu viruses are very scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Jack Crouse's fund is nearly at $20k! Thank you to everyone who has helped! Can someone bring the campaign up to this milestone? If we could get a number of people to donate just $10 or $20 that would help a lot! https://www.gofundme.com/jackcrouse Update from today: Tonight's update... Â Jack has had all his test done and they still haven't found where the blood in his stool was coming from. Â They have had him off of heparin (blood thinner) for 2 days and right now his bleeding has subsided. Â Now though his lungs are not allowing the ventilator to expand them like before. So we have to try and get more fluid out of them. Â Chest X-ray was still not good. What little improvement was there is not anymore. Â Maybe due to the extra fluids and blood he was getting to combat his mysterious bleeding. Â Later in the day today Jack was having some oxygen level problems so they adjusted his bed and that seem to help. Now hoping for a restful night for him. Â That being said, the doctor informed us that it is still only day 7 on the Ecmo which is still early in the treatment and they hope to know more by Friday. Â Thank you again for all your words of encouragement. It really means a lot to my family and I Â Jacqi Crouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm embarrassingly late in getting to know this, and very saddened to hear of what has come of Jack. I donated to the fund and will spread it around where I can. I hope his conditions turn out for the better soon, and wish his family the strength they need to get through this situation they're in.

VCXfreak Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I am sadden to read this! I have never met him but love the photos he posted. I wish I had money to donate to his family but with no work for 1 year and savings running out, i am in a jam. I did post for prayer at my church for Jack and his family. I believe in the power of prayer and I encourage everyone to just say a little prayer. What ever god you pray too, ask him for a speedy recovery and strenght for his family. Â Stay strong!

robbalvey Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I did post for prayer at my church for Jack and his family. I believe in the power of prayer and I encourage everyone to just say a little prayer. I believe in the power of practicality. While I get that for some people, "praying" is their way to deal with a situation, but in a practical world, it does nothing for someone. If you don't have money to donate, that's fine...sharing the GoFundMe on your socials and helping us spread the word is 100% free of charge and will do a lot more to actually help the family than "praying."

You didn't offend me with your praying thing, you offended me because that's ALL you said you were doing. If you had said "I'm going to pray for Jack and share this with as many people as I can" that's something different. Â And if you don't have the money to donate, that's fine. Sharing information is free. Just like prayers. One can actually help, and one can do....who knows what... Â That's all.
