LIVONIA, Mich. – Chuck Robertson is known as the “bearded man.”
He is the father of three girls, Sophia, Allie and Faith. His daughters and their mother, Lisa, have rallied the Livonia community for prayers and hope because Robertson needs a lung transplant.
“We love dad so much and he would do anything for us so we’re going to make sure we do everything we can,” one of his daughters said.
After 40 days in the hospital and 27 days on a ventilator, doctors said Robertson can’t last much longer. Robertson needs an ECMO machine to become available at Henry Ford Hospital so he can be transferred.
Chuck Robertson has never missed one of his daughters swim meets.
“All of us girls would look up to him in the stands and he’d give us a fist pump before a race, his oldest, Sophia Robertson, said. We’d all give him a fist pump back. He’s the best dad.”
Now, Chuck is in the intensive care unit at at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia following complications with COVID-19. He s been in the hospital for about 40 days, over half of which has been spent on a ventilator that is doing all of his breathing for him.
