Kerri’s Story

Site created on December 6, 2020

Kerri Fitzpatrick Bryles is fighting this Covid-19 monster. On Dec 3rd she developed a cough. In 24 hours she was normal to being placed on a ventilator. Fortunately, we have a rockstar, Dr Frattini at St Luke’s hospital. The Dr informed me since she is young and super healthy we have an optimistic outlook. They are considering ECMO with Impella to oxygenate her blood and remove CO2 while her lungs heal. Her entire right lung is 100 filled. Dr Frattini is an authority of Covid and has been fighting this since March. This will be an extreme Marathon for Kerri taking several weeks to months. Please help me support my girlfriend of 23 years (married 21)

Journal entry by Tim Bryles —

What a beautiful 6 month reunion today with all the doctors, nurses and staff at St. Luke’s hospital.  The news was there to capture the experience.  It was nice to give back so they all can see Kerri back to normal.  One of the doctors stated, “now we can have a memory of you normal and not so sick.” 

It was very rewarding to our medical professionals and to us!   They cared for Kerri like she was family.   Thanks St. Luke’s 

Unfortunately, we were more busy with thanking everyone than capturing pictures. 

Check out KMOV.com and KSDK.com at 5pm tonight if within the St Louis area or might be on their website too.
