All the Very Best of the Holiday Season!

Hello, over the past several years I have been sharing some updates on Darren’s progress through various health issues. I am sharing this below with you also, as there is now an extended group of supporters in this journey. I did want you to be aware of the praise I continue to share related to our experience with Lisa and the Trinity air ambulance team.

Before I begin, please know that Darren (“Cos”) is now back at home in Wpg, recovering extremely well – truly a Christmas miracle.

On the first day (Friday Dec 6) of our vacation in Cozumel, Cos took to the water for some snorkeling. A few minutes into our light swim, Darren suffered SCD (sudden cardiac death). No warning, an electric ‘shut off’ of the heart function so to speak.

With a competent case manager pushing for action, events progressed to having Cos Lear jetted to Miami via air ambulance, within 14 hours of the incident. In Miami prognosis continued to improve. Cos was out of a coma and decided to pull out his respiratory tube by Saturday night. All tests came back with favorable trending. Organs were getting to near normal levels…including the kidneys, liver and heart as well as no signs of brain damage. Recovery continued in Fort Lauderdale, in an oceanfront hotel room. Cos enjoyed the sound of the ocean and opportunity for more sunlight in the room.

Thank you Trinity air ambulance for your safety record and for your willingness to host us for a tour before taking Darren home! (picture attached).

All the very best of the holiday season!

Hi Trinity Team,

My Dad is hanging in there despite multi-organ damage (mostly chronic)…but his mental status is very diminished. He’s definitely in a delicate balance, and my children and husband have all come down to spend some time with him. We still want to get him to VA…will be in touch if we can.

Again, thank you all for making our Thanksgiving a day to truly have much to be thankful for!

Thank you and Trinity for your amazing work….because of your company we were able to spend the last 10 days of my father’s life with him; memories we will treasure forever.

Thank you For the Wonderful Assistance

Lisa:

Thank you for getting Peter back to the States so promptly.

Pete just got out of surgery.

No complications and, apart from carrying around a pound of titanium indefinitely, he is expected to make a full recovery.

Thank you for getting him back here safely.

Your assistance with CIGNA is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Trinity, For Making This Possible

We arrived last night to my sister’s without incident. Julie was great, and I would not have made it to St. Louis without her. She managed the oxygen and the transport through the airports and was able to minimize my symptoms.

I also want to thank you for your persistence in arranging the oxygen at my sister’s. I was able to sleep much better last night with O₂ and it really helps with my fatigue, shortness of breath and basic exercise capacity to be able to use it.

I very much appreciate your attention and handling of logistics – and your vigilance of my care during my medical evacuation. It was very reassuring.
