I am posting this without any consent from Eliza but I thought Eliza's post deserves your attention to an uncomfortable situation that asks for answers. Thank you.<br />For those who are not familiar with Eliza, there are many threads about her that I will add at the bottom of this post.<br /><br />Eliza has posted several times on her blog about the health issues of her son. <br />This is what she wrote today.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://elizapresley.blogspot.com/2011/11/drews-heart.html<br /><br />11/2/11 DREW'S HEART - an urgent update Hello everyone, <br /> <br /> As you can see from my last posting here from the Time's article and where I asked for continued prayers for my son - he is one of the millions of uninsured in the US. The only jobs that he has gotten at his age & in this economy (as a waiter); none offer health insurance or full-time hrs. He was discharged from the original hospital after they put him on medication and then considered 'stable'. When he called to arrange the surgery that Monday, he was told that his portion would be 7k. It didn't happen & was impossible. It's been an ongoing fight since then to get him the heart surgery he still needs. Spoke to a wonderful doctor in Los Angeles yesterday. We have a very dear & mutual friend in common. He has agreed to arrange for Drew's surgery if we can get him there. I am beyond grateful. Just sat & cried after hanging up from him yesterday. <br /> <br /> Now, I need your help to make this happen. While he will not have to come up with any of the funds for the medical care up-front (as was required by his local hospital after learning he had no medical insurance); the cost of the trip and for him to stay in Los Angeles has to be through donations. No matter if you can only donate $5.00 to help him, it will be so very appreciated. He has to be able to stay in CA long enough to have the initial procedure to stabilize his heart. If that is unsuccessful, they will then have to install a pacemaker. Because all of the testing wasn't done at his local hospital (they didn't have the facilities); we still do not know the extent and what all has to be done re: surgery, treatment, etc. Because of this, we have to allow him to be there for at least 2 weeks.<br /> <br /> The PayPal email address to make a donation is: drewsheart@live.com <br /> <br /> As always - please continue with your prayers for him ..<br /> <br /> Much love,<br /> Eliza<br /><br />
