Bart’s Story

Site created on July 9, 2021

While we (Michelle, Mikayla, and Noah) went through having covid and cleared our quarantine period, Bart had gotten it a few days after later than us so he was still fighting it. He woke up  on Thursday, July 8th and was struggling to catch his breath while running a fever of 104.9.  We called 911 and when they arrived, they registered Bart's oxygen levels at 64 (normal levels would be around 97- they don't like to see lower than 80s) with a heart rate of 114 (far too high). After several hours in the ER, he was moved to ICU Thursday evening. They are going to keep him there where they can give him personal attention until his oxygen levels are stabilized and can be maintain at the proper level. We created this site in order to keep everyone updated!

Journal entry by Michelle Deese —

Good evening! To try to put into words a description of the last few days would be close to impossible! I would like to thank everyone who came to the visitation last night and celebration of life service today. The outpouring of love, kindness and encouragement has been a huge blessing to us. We love you all. We welcome any prayers that continue to be offered up for us. 

We know that there are many of you that could not join us. Our church has videotaped the service and we are posting the link for you to view. This link will only be up for a week but we hope that that will be enough time for all who want to view it to do so. Thank you again for loving Bart and us. We love you all and appreciate you more than we can say. May God continue to make His face shine upon you and give you peace!
