Vandrovec Family

Re: Vandrovec Family

PayPal takes a cut.

My suggestion would be:

to PM pledges to MontanaRabbit--say through this coming weekend--and we'll see what we can come up with.

MontanaRabbit will let me know how much gets pledged, I'll send a check to TV (probably via the Argus-Leader, I guess), and y'all can make good with MontanaRabbit and he can forward what he receives to me.

A bit more cumbersome, but avoids the PayPal fees that they'd extract. And I got my snowblower out today and blew out two neighbors' driveways, so I'm filled with the ol' Upper-Midwest "we're all in this together" spirit anyway.

I'm good for $100 (at least).

Let's be about it.

There are two ways to send money through Paypal. Goods and Gifts. If you send as a gift, they don't take a cut. Allows friends and family to send money with out getting charged.

I will give everyone the option on how they want to get me their donation. You can:

1) Send it snail mail.
2) Paypal.

Just PM me your pledge and how you would like to do it and I will get you the appropriate info. I will start a new thread and post everyone's pledges in that new thread next to their SDSUfans handle. If you would like to keep it anonymous, just let me know and I won't post your handle.

I will give $50 to keep the ball rolling.

Re: Vandrovec Family

Just awful. I have never met Terry, but kinda feel like I know him through his work covering SDSU. I start every morning reading his blog.

I can't imagine what this is like for them. The financial burden has to be overwhelming. With that said would there be any interest in putting together a group monetary donation from all us as SDSUfans.com? This would all be with Filbert's blessing of course. I would be willing to help facilitate it. I'm thinking the easiest way may be by using Paypal. Probably wouldn't amount to much, but might buy them a tank of gas or something to get back and forth to the Cities.

Thoughts?

Most recent post said their flight was uneventful and that they are now headed to the hospital in Minneapolis.

Re: Vandrovec Family

Terry's wife, Jess, just posted on the CaringBridge site that they are about to board the plane to the children's hospital in Minneapolis. So heartbreaking to read. God bless the Vandrovecs.

Re: Vandrovec Family

They are on board a plane en route to Minneapolis. Ugh.

Re: Vandrovec Family

as of one hour ago Kailey was regressing on the intubation and they are seriously considering flying to Minneapolis for further treatment, her condition is not good.

Re: Vandrovec Family

Sounds like its getting worse again. might have to go to the cities and try ECMO. The good Doc could probably explain that a little better. Almost feel guilty i get to go home from work now and see my little guy. Can't imagine what they are feeling right now.

After a google search, it appears it's a machine that does the work of her hearts/and or lungs. Very risky. When her Heart and lungs heal,they wean her off it.

That blog is a roller coaster of emotions, my heart goes out to all of them.

Re: Vandrovec Family

It's amazing how quickly things can change. Five days ago Terry had Mya at the WIU game with him having a great time. Now their family has been turned upside down. Let's pray that this little bit of good news means the corner has been turned and that there will be continued good news and progress in the days to come.

Re: Vandrovec Family

As a father of premature twins who spent a few months in the NICU, I can empathize with their situation. Little ones seem so fragile, yet they can put up quite a fight. Little girls can be very tough. The prayers of Bison Nation are with the Vandrovec family.

On Kailey's Caring Bridge page they just said that she made it through the intubation procedure. That is great news! She still has a lot of fighting to do but in reading their comments they were very obviously scared she wouldn't make it through the procedure.

Maybe the first in hopefully many baby steps forward. Keep the prayers coming! Keep fighting sweetheart!

Re: Vandrovec Family

Prayers continue to go out to the Vandrovec's as they battle with Kailey's illness. This is so sad. I can't imagine what they are living right now. Praying, praying and praying...

[MontanaRabbit]

Re: Vandrovec Family

Terry just tweeted this:

"We have no choice but to intubate Kailey. We have no idea if she'll recover. Please, please pray or hope."

My heart just aches for them. Please keep the prayers coming! Hang in there precious Kailey!

Horrible news. Prayers and thoughts to the Vandrovec family.

Times like these make us realize that a basketball game in Bakersfield is un-important in the grand scheme of things. I would like to see the basketball teams wear something for Kailey tonight and Saturday.
