We have spent our entire lives loving and adoring our daddy. You know him as Terry Fagg. In July 2024, Terry was diagnosed with lung cancer. After months of treatments he got to ring the bell, only to find out just weeks later that it had metastasized on his brain. Terry has had 2 brain surgeries and a round of radiation on his brain. The cancer is not active at this time but he is left with necrosis that is causing seizures and stroke like symptoms. At this time, he has spent a total of 31 days in the hospital and 23 days is rehab at Encompass. The plan is to return home on 08-04-23 and he is not able to walk. Once the seizures are under control, he is going to start treatments with hyperbaric oxygen and that would be 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks. At this point we are humbly asking for support from our family, friends and community There are suddenly things they unexpectedly need inside and outside of their home to care for him; medical supplies, wheel chair ramp, lift to move him from bed to wheelchair etc. Many people have asked how they can help and we feel like this is the best way to support them at this time. All donations are appreciated and will go directly to Terry and Wilma.
