Desfosses has been in the ICU for a week, according to Jeffa Lombardi, who launched a GoFundMe page Dec. 28 to help Desfosses wife, Jessica, and their two daughters, Addison, 11, and Ella, 8. Jessica has taken leave from work to focus on their two daughters, Lombardi said.
“After struggling to improve at home for two weeks and feeling a serious decline in his ability to breathe, he was taken to the local emergency room,” Lombardi said. “He was immediately identified as being in critical condition and swiftly transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. Initial tests revealed blood clots in his lungs, legs, and abdomen. More importantly, he was completely unable to maintain oxygen saturation on his own.
