Since June of this year, their son, Reese, has spent well over 2 months in the hospital. He was diagnosed with severe Crohn's Disease, complications of which have caused abscesses to develop. They have spent time in the PICU as well as the regular pediatric floor. He has a central line, which is how he's receiving all of his nutrition. He is not allowed to eat or drink save for 4 ounces of clear liquids three times a day. There is one abscess left and it is stubborn. He developed an allergy to the first antibiotic he was on for months which led to a terrifying anaphylactic reaction. He is now on 2 different antibiotics attempting to penetrate the abscess and get rid of the infection that has made him septic twice. Once the infection is completely gone and the doctors think it is safe to do so, he will likely need to have part of his bowel resected.
Unfortunately, his medical care has been extremely expensive and will continue to be. The Nathans are in need of help with this. If you have come to the show, on either side of the table, and had enjoyed the work they put into it, if you've been to the store and gotten some great reads or maybe some signatures or sketches during their in-store events, or if you've followed, voted for, attended, or been nominated in the Ringo Awards, we would appreciate it if you could give something back to help them in their time of need.
