Donate to Help Paul and Family Overcome Medical Hardships, organized by Paul Enerson

Hi, my name is Melinda, a lifelong partner of Paul, and he is a father of 4 children. Paul and I have been struggling to make ends meet due to his enablity to work. In April of 2023, Paul had acute pancreatitis and was hospitalized for 7 days. We thought we were going to lose him. During this stay, he had a stroke, and the CT scan showed that he had 4 strokes prior to that. During the hospital stay, the doctors also informed us that he has vascular disease and recently had a stent put in his left leg due to a blockage in September 2023. The doctors also informed us that he has chronic stage 3a kidney disease. After being hospitalized, he has had to jump through many more obstacles and test after test. Over the last year he hasn't been able to work due to his memory issues that the strokes caused and has monthly "episodes", were he would almost pass out and would cause brain fog and short term memory loss. Then, in April of 2024, he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. In the beginning of May 2024, Paul was in the bathroom, and he passed out and fell, and our oldest son found him unconscious. After that, the doctors ordered a 48-hour heart holter monitor. Nothing was really concerning on that, then a stress test followed by a 30-day heart holter monitor. On day 26 of the heart monitor, he was alerted that his heart flat lined for 17 seconds and then an hour later for 5.6 seconds and 4.8 seconds. He does not have any memory of this happening, just waking up and being informed that he went to the hospital by ambulance and had an emergency surgery on june 26th 2024, to put in a permanent pacemaker. Since all of this, his memory has declined even more. He is unable to work at the moment and is unsure if he will be able to work again. Due to all of this going on, bills are piling up, and it's putting hardship and stress on myself and family. One miracle that he appreciates that occurred through this process is that he has been alcohol free for 15 months. Thank you to those who have helped us through this journey. We could not have made it without your help. Any help would be appreciated so we can focus on his health and not worry about what needs to be paid, what can be paid, or what bill has to be skipped to buy food. Read more
