Fred was diagnosed with Stage 3 Large B Cell Lymphoma in May of 2026. In July, 2026, his wife (me) found him unresponsive and barely having a pulse. First responders took 20 minutes to get a pulse and he was in the ICU for 45 days where he had another cardiac arrest and ended up with a tracheostomy. In August 2026, he was stable enough to be transferred to an LTAC facility where they were able to successfully wean him off the vent. But his fight is not over. He has had multiple respiratory infections and possibly facing sepsis. Social security disability has not been approved yet, and family is struggling financially between medical bills and normal day to day bills, going from a 2 person income household to a one perdon. His wife (me) drives 3 hours a day, 7 days a week to visit him and ensure he is getting the best care possible. His son is a senior in high-school and is missing all the fun things going on like sporting events, college tours, etc. PLEASE share or purchase Fred's Army merchandise!
