WWE legend Billy Graham is on life support right now
Billy Graham is on life support, according to his wife Valerie, and is in a “serious” condition. His wife indicated that the doctors planned to turn off his life support on Sunday night in a statement posted on the former WWE star’s official Facebook page. As her spouse faces a few health issues, she pleaded with her followers to pray for him.
Please pray for my spouse immediately, she continued. I resisted the doctors’ request to turn off his life support tonight. Even if his body is weak, he is a fighter with a strong determination. Our hope is in God.
The professional wrestler has also created a GoFundMe page to assist his family with his medical expenses. He is “dealing with a myriad of very serious health issues,” including diabetes, congestive heart failure, and a “major infection” in his head and ears, among other conditions, according to his GoFundMe page.
According to the description of the campaign, “He is facing a long period of rehab, and his insurance will only pay a portion of this.” Once he is “stabilised,” the page states that he will probably require at least “two months in a skilled nursing facility.” Over the last three weeks, he has shed a total of 45 pounds.
According to a message posted on the page, Valerie, the former wrestler’s wife, still works full-time, but their financial position “has become dire” as Billy receives medical attention. Graham and his wife Valerie both tested positive for Covid-19 in the past two months, and as of right now, Valerie “continues to struggle with what is now Long COVID.”
Billy Graham’s recent health update was shared last month
Yes, it is what you read. On his GoFundMe website, Billy Graham’s most recent health report was published in April. Then it was revealed that he had spent the previous four months in a hospital or rehab facility.
“Wayne has not been home for four months; he has either been at the rehab facility or in the hospital,” the statement said. He has lost 80 pounds as a result of persistent problems with his lack of appetite and has since struggled with significant weakness.
The April 26th report said, “His biggest difficulty continues to be the osteomyelitis infection in his ears, skull, and sinus cavity. He is receiving powerful IV antibiotics three times per day to address this, and the infectious disease physician estimates that he will need to continue receiving them for at least three more months. He is currently totally deaf as a result of this ailment.
We’re hoping this is only transient and will go away once the infection is treated, they added. He has intermittently experienced kidney problems and required dialysis. Billy also has heart and lung issues, sores from being bedridden for four months, and depression.
“The financial situation has become dire as Insurance is only covering part of this treatment,” the statement said. His out-of-pocket rehab copay care is $200 each day. Wayne and his wife Valerie, regrettably, both developed Covid two months ago. Unfortunately, Valerie has had to prolong her LOA because she is still having trouble with what is now Long Covid. As a result, they are now completely without money. Their financial struggles, intense worry about her husband’s health, and the emotional strain of not being able to visit him because of Covid are all heartbreaking and extremely stressful for them both.
“Anyone who could find it in their heart to donate any amount, would be so greatly appreciated,” they wrote as their statement’s final sentence. I greatly appreciate it. Please support and pray for the celebrity’s recovery and safe return to his place of origin. Thank you everybody and God bless you. He is engaged in a life-or-death struggle.
