The story of the Landes family is one of survival and thankfulness as MEDIC Regional Blood Center’s Roll Up Your Sleeve Week continues.
“For them to go from two active parents to zero!” said Yvonnca Landes about her four children. “Because I stayed there the whole five and a half months. I mean, my kids were in shock.”
“My pancreas went bad and poisoned everything else in my gut,” said Yvonnca’s husband David.
What David thought he was having was a pancreatitis attack – but had no idea what it was really doing.
“And the doctor says, ‘Oh he’s having a pancreatitis attack he’ll be here for two days,” explained Yvonnca… but that was clearly not the case.
“The day I went to the hospital? That’s the last day I remember,” said David. “After that, I woke up three months later.”
