Critical Care Doesn’t Take Holidays:
When you play, our patients win. Like Alain Champagne, whose life was saved in December 2016 after he experienced a potentially fatal brain bleed:
On the night of December 18, 2016, Alain Champagne was getting ready for bed when his wife Marion Bonner heard a loud thump. She bolted up the stairs to check on Alain. She found him slumped against a dresser, having a seizure.
He was rushed to Royal Columbian, where tests revealed he was suffering from a left frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH), a sudden bleeding into the tissues of the brain. The bleeding and related swelling puts extreme pressure on brain tissue and cuts off blood supply to the brain. It can lead to permanent neurological dysfunction, and is often fatal.
Alain was taken to the ICU, where he was intubated and put in a medically induced coma. That’s when the gravity of the situation sunk in.
Over the next few days, Alain’s care team worked to reduce the pressure and control his seizures. His wife, Marion, was struck by the high quality of care he received.
By December 23, remarkably, Marion was able to take Alain home. By March, the bleeding had been completely absorbed by his body.
After his hospital stay, doctors told Alain his chances had been 50/50. “When I heard that and looked at the information related to the condition, and the fact that I was able to walk out of the ICU and not have any long-lasting effects… I feel so fortunate, so lucky,” he says.
Your participation in the lottery helps us support the highest level of care for critical patients like Alain.
