In mid-June, life took an unexpected turn for Bill Johnson when a routine medical checkup revealed a devastating diagnosis. He was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive form of blood cancer. Despite not feeling sick until that point, Bill's health rapidly declined, and he was rushed to Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft. Worth. Little did he know that this was just the beginning of a harrowing journey. The Unforeseen Battle: Within 24 hours of being admitted, Bill's condition worsened, and he found himself on a ventilator and life support due to Legionnaire's disease, a bacterial pneumonia that targets those with weakened immune systems. The combination of AML and Legionnaire's wreaked havoc on Bill's kidneys and liver, leading to the need for constant dialysis and medical attention. Facing Multiple Challenges: After a grueling ten-day battle on life support, Bill's resilience shone through as he awakened without the ventilator. However, the fight was far from over. An MRI later revealed that he had suffered a stroke, leaving him with a condition called critical illness myopathy. As he slowly regains strength through physical and occupational therapy, the treatments for leukemia remain on hold until he is stable enough to receive them. A Family's Love and Hope: Throughout this arduous journey, Bill's wife and two children have been his unwavering support. They have stood by his side, fighting alongside him, and praying for his recovery every day.
