Over the past two months, Nick has been in and out of the hospital battling severe pancreatitis following a procedure that was expected to be routine. He had undergone the same procedure in July without complications, but after something concerning appeared on a scan in September, his doctor recommended repeating it. Sadly, this time, things took a devastating turn. What was supposed to be a routine procedure led to severe pancreatitis, multiple surgeries, and additional procedures to remove necrotic tissue that began forming in his abdomen. Stents have also been placed to help prevent fluid from accumulating. Unfortunately, Nick is still not out of the woods. He continues to face a long and uncertain road to recovery, with ongoing medical challenges and time away from work adding even more stress to an already difficult situation. Nick is a hardworking man, a devoted family man, and someone who deserves the chance to focus on healing without the added worry of how the bills will get paid. Leeann has been working exhausting 9.5- to 10-hour days, doing everything she can to make up for the income lost during this difficult time. She is doing all she can, but there is only so much one person can manage while also supporting her family through such a challenging journey.
