Hello, I am Sarah Sarkis, the daughter of Mr. Abboud Sarkis who was admitted on the morning of 29/12/2023 to LAU medical center, St John's hospital, jounieh and has been lying in the ICU bed ever since. He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia that required intubation which he miraculously survived given the comorbidities he has. During the recovery or weaning phase, he caught another lung infection due to an immunodeficiency. The second infection necessitated another intubation in less than one month and several rounds of dialysis as his kidneys condition worsened under the effect of the infections and the intubation and extubation process. Last week, his platelets count started dropping for no specific reason, hence a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy was carried out by Dr. Anwar Shayya to find the leading cause. My father is surrounded by the ICU doctors Dr. Chalouhi and Dr. Iskandar, the best nephrologist, Dr. Zeina Meshref and the medical and psychological support provided by the hospital personnel is unprecedented, yet the medical bills are spiking as his health keeps failing him whenever we start believing that he is getting better. My family managed to pay an amount of 24,000$ out of the total bills amount and the modest NSSF coverage barely reimburses 10% of the hospital fees. Therefore, the family decided to start this fundraising campaign in order to help my father continue his treatment and hopefully return to his home and family. All details concerning my father's case including copies of paid bills and medical reports are available upon demand and can be provided if you contact us on 03/467343. The people who got to know my father including all the students he taught over his 45 years in the educational field know what a wonderful teacher and a dedicated man he is.
