As a side note to my other comment, I just have to say how beautiful it is that the husband doesn't try to speak for the wife. Maybe it's just me who has spent time among ESL people. But I noticed that even while she's searching for a word, he gives her the space and time to say what it is she needs to say. They are a lovely couple. I'm glad that they have each other.
Aww thank you so much!
George is a man of God, kind, respectful, lover of his wife and incredible intellect so he knows better … ha ha ha . Sometimes I stop and ask him what that word baby ? And then he tells me.
@@JESSICAVARIANRIP to Jeffrey. You both as parents did a great job to care for Jeffrey. You should have no guilt. Prayers to you & your husband! 🙏🏿
It's beautiful ❤️
Amen! I'm overwhelmed and moved. I will pray. Will you please send me a link to donate please.
@@amyalo7095 get away, this is about Jeffrey!! Get
As a RN for 32years this hospital should be held accountable !! Please go after this hospital , I’m sure this isn’t the first patient they sent home prematurely!!! This is so heart breaking !!!!
Oh my Lord !!! …. I am so grateful for your words. Thank you 💙 thank you
They're sending people home without proper healthcare here in Canada! I'm sure it's happening everywhere now. This is a war. We're paying for these things but corrupted p0oli1t1ic1ians te3●r0r11sts ♧ pocket our $$$$ laundering through w444rs¡¡¡ Plus the vees cause spontaneous d333ath
Sending a lot of heart felt prayers that you and family may receive justice for Jeffrey and others whom are treated as such. Definitely hire a good malpractice lawyer so you can be compensated for your tragedy. Thank you for sharing your journey as it is just heart wrenching. Love to your family. RIP Jeffrey rest easy earth angel 💗
And...the insurance company. So sorry for the loss of Jeffrey.
I wish you could name the hospital. I’m sure you can’t legally but I’d like to know so I can avoid them. Prayers for you🙏🏻
GLEN. - TEXAS PICTURES DOCUMENTARIES -- YOU HAVE SUPPORTED US IN SO MANY WAY - WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.
God bless you two for fighting for Jeffree!! What an inspiration you are ❤️🙏
I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of Jeffrey. It is evident that he was fortunate to have such caring and dedicated parents who fought tirelessly for his life.
It is disheartening to witness the manner in which insurance companies and hospitals treat individuals nowadays, prioritizing financial gain over human well-being. I sincerely hope that you pursue legal action against all those responsible for this unfortunate situation.
I appreciate your willingness to share your story and raise awareness about these critical issues. Fentanyl has become a devastating force, claiming countless precious lives. Last year, I experienced the profound loss of my best friend due to a Fentanyl overdose. This insidious drug knows no boundaries and affects individuals indiscriminately.
May you continue to find the strength to persevere in your fight for justice. Once again, I express my deepest condolences for the loss of Jeffrey. I hope that you find solace and obtain the justice that Jeffrey deserves. I believe that he is watching over you with immense pride and love. May he rest in peace.❤❤
God Bless you and your family! Jeffrey was BEYOND BLESSED TO HAVE YOU BOTH AS PARENTS 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏼 ENJOY HEAVEN JEFFREY ❤️ God there fight is not over please continue to have your hand over this family in this battle with the insurance companies In Jesus Name!
Continued prayers sent up for u! 🙏🏽❤️
The strength and determination you both possess is absolutely amazing. The amount of time and effort you put into getting Jeffrey the proper assistance and help he deserved is incredible.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to your family.
RIL Jeffrey ❤️🙏🕊️
The collusion between hospitals and health insurance is despicable. The health care system in America, from a distance is frightening. But worse is in the inaction by government to provide care for all citizens as a need not a want.
Yes!😢😢😢what inhumane the US is😮😮😮! Unbelievable and on top of it many Americans are in delusion that they live in the greatest country in the world!!!
At least those options exist. Specialised care like that doesn’t even exist where I’m from even though healthcare is “free”.
@@GG-kn2se where are you from?
The “Insurance” industry inserted in between doctors and patients and regulating EVERYTHING they could treat and prescribe and how much they could charge and taking their cut of profits from doctors and patients caused animosity and turned doctors against patients! When Insurance company CEOs and executives take home 30 million dollar salaries and some doctors work two jobs to survive, SOMETHING IS WRONG!
Yeah it so sad to watch. In Australia we have universal public health care which is free and awesome. We also have private health insurance, for a small fee each week you can get private care and more options. Also we don’t have to fight our insurance companies for any care we need. I had to upgrade my cover a day before a 4 week mental health stay at a beautiful private clinic. I did it the day before I went to the clinic and got covered. We also have this thing called the national disability scheme where all care and therapies is covered by the government free of charge. Families are able to pick private providers of their choice for their love one with money they receive.
Jeffery was so blessed to have his family help him. Until you see him again !
These parents fought till the very end. Their story is not over. They are going to be change agents and help families affected by this epidemic. 🙏🏾
Wow … thank you for trusting us and believing the words you wrote. Thank you
@@JESSICAVARIAN 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
These parents need to be given a larger platform. This is a GREAT start but my goodness lets gets these parents in front of any and every form of mass media possible . I would love to see this lead to a massive expose into the underhanded wheeling and dealing going on between hospitals, doctors, insurance companies , and big pharma.
BRAVO to these 2 for not letting their sons tragic and preventable death not be in vain. Nobody would ever blame these for completely giving in to their grief if they chose to do so. Nobody would ever blame them for a minute . But they aren’t! I can’t even imagine the strength that takes!
This moved me to tears and I don’t even have children. I truly believe you have what it takes to move mountains. It takes a certain type of person to facilitate real change . The two of You are 100% that type of person.
PLEASE keep doing wait you’re doing and don’t ever stop ! The world needs you .
When mom said neuroplasticity, I knew she went to the ends of the world to understand brain damage and every aspect of his condition.
I will keep this family in my prayers. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story.
Makes me want to study neurology just so I can become a PMR doctor so that people have more availability and support I do believe that the body is meant to heal itself and with the right care it can but they give up because it's not in their favour monetarily
Thank you. Yes, you correct. We went as far as we could go outside of graduating from Medical School.
@@glowinthadarkwell -- I PRAY YOU CHOOSE THIS CAREER PM&R - WE - NEED - YOU !!!
It’s frustrating because as experienced nurses, we know a lot but aren’t listened to. It looks like Jeffrey had a subclavian line. You don’t leave a facility with that if you’re stable. You get a picc line. And you don’t feed people with an ileus. If he’s not pooping, the food isn’t going anywhere. Puts people at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Sounds like he needed cultures and ICU resuscitation. And I don’t even know half of what is going on. Ughhhh. This is sad.
Let me educate you just a bit & hopefully this makes sense to you. According to the mom, Jeffrey had a port placed in his chest. Stable patients leave the hospital with them literally all the time. They're meant for people who have or are expected to have multiple IV cannulations. I'm sure scar tissue became a problem & hospital staff had increasing difficulty obtaining IV access on Jeffrey with each lab draw & hospitalization so the port was actually a great alternative because it can be accessed & de-accessed very easily. Did Jeffrey eat by mouth or was he fed in the form of tube feeding or TPN? If so, that eliminates the risk of aspiration pneumonia. I'm 100% sure the hospital did do cultures on Jeffrey before starting any of the antibiotics & to aid them in the diagnosis of sepsis (along with labs & vital signs). If cultures weren't obtained they would not have known what bacteria Jeffrey was harboring & what antibiotics the bacteria was susceptible to. All hospitals have a sepsis protocol that includes fluid resuscitation so I'm sure he was receiving the proper amount of fluids based on his weight & condition. I've never heard of nor seen a hospital allow a patient with an ileus any type of PO intake until after the ileus is resolved (via a NG tube to low intermittent suction. IV fluids, medication changes, etc.). Even sepsis itself can be a precipitating factor & cause an ileus. I can't imagine this mothers grief & I fully understand that during the grieving process we look for answers & our hearts & minds need to place blame on people, places, or things in an attempt to find reason, but I'm sure the hospital & all those people who cared for Jeffrey truly did have his best interest at heart & most certainly did not do anything to hinder his progress, neglect him, or cause any unnecessary harm to him, including & up to death.
@@NurseLisa_1 Well, we all have something to say. Guess it’s best to review his chart.
@@NurseLisa_1Well said Lisa 👍
Although this family was wronged by the medical system. The true tragedy is that their son is no longer here. My heart goes out to this family.
Thank you … that is the core of the core of our problem and suffering
These parents have done a phenomenal job of fighting for him and advocating for him every step of the way. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to learn medical terminology and pathophysiology, but Had a very solid understanding of a lot of it. it is terrible that they were not given all of the information that they felt like they needed. it is extremely problematic for a doctor or any other healthcare provider to pick and choose what they tell a family, especially one like this, who wants to know every detail with updates and explanations. Yes this is a lot of work and staff is already overwhelmed but it’s just not fair
Thank you for words and insight. I pray you work in the medical field. Looks like it. I do understand what you say, because hospitals are short of staff and sadly 35% (in my experience) of nurses are NOT GOOD and in many case RUDE - specially the ones from agencies - at UTMB Galveston was a NIGHTMARE. One nurse (from an agency) denied to feed Jeffrey. Another one in a different day never came when I called 3 times telling her that Jeffrey was getting fever and was riding up fast. At the end the charge manager came Jeffrey BUTNING UP! … In these two last case were not because they were busy, was because they didn’t care and were LAZY.

@@JESSICAVARIAN I believe you. I have seen some behavior from every level from nurses, NP, PA, doctors that I never would have believed possible. I am terribly sorry for what you both suffered through, especially and most of all Jeffrey. I am an ICU nurse of 15 years. When I was trained, there were very high standards to be in this profession. Right now, I do not hesitate to tell everyone to do their best to stay out of the hospital. It is not a place anyone wants to be. I personally feel it is not safe for many reasons. Just my opinion- I feel that when nurses became “Travel Nurses” during Covid and made up to 6k-8k each week, nursing became a *transaction* True caring about sick human beings, compassion, personal responsibility, and ethics were no longer a priority. That money also attracted undesirable people into this field who are only in it because of the money. Prior to those big money contracts, Nurses were paid fairly the same across-the-board, depending on your state and city, and you wanted to find a job and stay there. Nursing is not meant to be a job that you “grind and hustle” to make money off of. RN’s that hustle for overtime $ or a second job show up exhausted and do the bare minimum. it’s pure greed because Nursing pays fairly well. These types of nurses are everywhere. Doing this for money changes your entire intention and purpose of being there. I am really struggling. Every day is a fight- to get a doctor to speak to a family, to bring attention to a problem that a patient is having that is not life threatening, but yet extremely important, to get answers for patients when they have questions and need information that is within their right to have, restarting home medication that is important to the patient, when they specifically asked to start the medication from home, but you can’t find a doctor prescribe it at the hospital, to prevent medical errors that can happen because of a lack of communication between different specialists, stepping in and speaking up when I hear a doctor speaking to someone in a way that is unprofessional or not giving them all of the medical information that they need to truly understand what’s going on…The list can Go on and on. Being an advocate and speaking publicly about the problems in the healthcare system and at the hospitals is the best way that we can prevent more people from suffering
@jessicavarian I am so sorry my deepest condolences go to you and your family. Being in the healthcare industry and being a clinical coordinator dealing with insurances and this specific insurance daily for LTACH I agree and totally understand where you and your husband are coming from. It is really sad how the insurance companies drive what is approved and what LOC for patients even with all medical necessity and records to prove and back the patients case. I hope you continue to be a voice and share your story and experience.
@@anonymous-bt1oo You do not know this family, him, or his addiction to even begin to ask this. Do you ask people where they were when their family member committed suicide, or where they were when the family member had a heart attack? Or where they were when the car accident happened? Just ridiculous.
What a wonderful way to honor Jeffrey’s legacy!
This absolutely breaks my heart. I wholeheartedly agree about it being about money. My eyes were opened when my dad was in the hospital and the insurance companies don't want to pay for the care these patients need. It is so appalling that insurance companies and hospitals can get away with substandard care.
There is a major difference in care between a non-profit and for-profit hospital. Please look for a non-profit hospital for your loved ones.
All these were private hospitals -- Ha! … they ALL are Nonprofit. We didn’t know.
Exactly… sorry for what you when through with your dad.
Denial is real
May his soul rest in peace. ❤
The medical system in the U.S. is BROKEN...beyond repair. It's ALL about the money and it seems that many "medical people" JUST DON"T CARE anymore. They work their shifts and don't show much empathy. As the Bible says...in the end times, the love of most will grow cold. This is what I am finding in my own healthcare journey(as a senior citizen). I have a strong medical background and I have to CONSTANTLY be my OWN healthcare advocate. I'm weary. I'm so sorry about what happened to Jeffrey and I admire the way you are speaking out.
The medical professionals are INSANELY overworked!! It’s all because of the health insurance scam. They don’t allow enough people to study to become doctors/nurses yet they complain about the “shortage.”
Yeah it so sad to watch. In Australia we have universal public health care which is free and awesome. We also have private health insurance, for a small fee each week you can get private care and more options. Also we don’t have to fight our insurance companies for any care we need.

I am 100% onboard with what you are saying.
I thank you all of you for sharing your heart, opinions and experiences with all of us.
This is awful. They released him to his demise knowing there’s no way he would survive without extreme medical intervention. It’s all about money. Well now they’ll have to pay with the fat lawsuit that’s coming.
Hospitals protect themselves so well.
Sue this bastard!!!!😢😢😢😢! Horrible😮😮😮😮!
The ‘American dream’ is the ‘ American nightmare😮😮😮!
It is all about Money!!!
First of all the US ‘medical system’ does not exist!!!
First of all why are there so many billionaires there??? Don’t they pay taxes??? Off shore 🏦 banks for the ligal schemers of course!!!
The ordinary ppl can not afford education, roof over their their heads, no medical care!!!
They have two jobs to make ends meet 😢😢😢 and they live in constant stress how to have a normal life??? So many try to be famous whatever it takes, so they can get out of the ghetto infested with drugs and out of poverty!!!
No family, no security, no prospects!!!
Many became drug addicted, mental illnesses, alone, depressed 😮😮😮 and suicidal or murderers!!!
Disgusting 🤢 artificial country with no history, traditions, culture, nor family and no ❤❤❤❤!
I am very petrified for those ‘ billionaires- philanthrops’ that will make the ‘world a better place’!
Thanks but no thanks!!! This will be the end of it!!!
We do not want this’ charity’
that we became that poor, alone and MAD!😡
How low can you get in the ‘reachest country’ in the world 🌎 according to your self proclaimed definition accessible Medical care to your own ppl??? Make them beggers!!!! They need to beg insurance companies and ppl to help with the huge medical bills!😢😢😢😢
This a disgusting capitalist and opportunistic country deprived from humanity and ❤❤❤❤!!!!😢😢😢

The problem with getting this type of specialty- neuro physiatrist, at a hospital comes down to payment. This is a very expensive service level that could potentially be required for a persons lifetime. Some may be able to pay privately for it, but many will be unable to pay the bill. Your advocacy and determination to educate the public about all of these issues is critical. The curtain needs to be pulled back to expose what is happening in healthcare today.

I started following this story from the beginning. The care and love these parents showed just filled my heart. I was rooting so hard for Jeffrey's recovery. When Jessica announced he passed. I felt like I lost a family member. I hope Jeffrey's story will help educate people on the effects of drugs. AND that you must advocate for you or your loved ones healthcare. the healthcare system sucks.

I learned this after 4 hospitalizations of my husband...they don't have pitchers of water at the bedside anymore. Just cups of water (at least at the hospital in my area.) And sometimes the cup wasn't even there. And, the staff doesn't come by to check on the patient except to do vital signs. And morning care is almost non-existant. On admission, the patient is provident a little tub, emesis basin, toothbrush and a comb. None of these were even touched when my husband checked out. Sad. When my husband got home, he needed a bath. These things have nothing to do with an insurance company.
No experience with brain injuries? They care for stroke patients for sure. As far as one step forward, two steps back, I can totally relate.
How terrible. So sorry.
As a person who work for an insurance company I am so ashamed. My heart goes out to this family. My prayers and condolences to you both.
What an sweet comment but the awful insurance thieves are not your fault. I’m sure your a phenomenal and fair agent !!! ❤
@@leanneadams2549 so kind of you.
Thank you so much ! It is NOT your fault… the fault lays on POLITICIANS.
When she started talking about how they call security when you have the “audacity “ to ask questions, I felt anger. That is SICKENING. Just SICKENING
YES, you are right it was SICKENING! … thank you for feeling for us.
The lengths his mom has gone to advocate for Jefferey is so very admirable. Her first interview was very touching and this one is as well. It's beautiful to see his stepfather be such a critical support system as well. I am sad to hear of Jeffrey's passing but I know with every bit of my being Jessica will help so many parents and family members understand the whole bureaucracy of medicine better. It is very sickening how huge of a part all the "profit analysis" plays in determining the care each person needs. It is literally the biggest conflict of interest in the world.
I pray Jeffrey's parents may one day be at peace. Jessica you are such an inspiration!❤
Very well said❤❤❤
George and I can only say thank you for your words. We are truly devastated, but I can only thank God for giving that extra time with him. I miss him terribly and I am doing all I can through FAITH to survive this hit. My battle cannot end, I must go on, but I only wait for whatever opportunity that God Himself brings to my door, so I know is His Will and no mine. We are trying to make a Full Film Documentary movie about Jeffrey’s story to be on movie theaters and streaming PRIME AMAZON. It is really I hope to be able to do it. We are trying to find 1, 2 or 3 investors. The total cost will be 75K. So please pray for this project. Thank you.
The love of this Mother and Father that are showing towards their Son, is beyond anything I can comprehend. *May God use you in mighty ways to help others that are going through or will be going through, similar things.*
Wow. Jessica and George this was such a heartbreaking but informative and such an important interview! Thank you for sharing all of this during such a terrible time of grief. I look forward to being a part of your mission in continuing your beautiful son's legacy. Love to you both.
Thank you to the producers of this series as it is so critical to get the word out about the horrors of fentanyl and how it destroys lives!
Thank you Tiffany, you have become such an important person, friend and Christian family member in my life. I know that God has moved your heart to work with me, helping me and supporting me in everything you know and care about. We will continue together to fight this battle through Christ Jesus who brought us together in such a time like this. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I was the advocate for my husband and it was exhausting. And post Covid, the level of care he received in the hospital was markedly decreased. I feel the hospital was responsible for his death. What sustains me is the knowledge that he is in Heaven praising our Lord in a healthy body. I am resentful that so much of my energy was consumed battling for adequate care but know I did all in my power to save his life. Thanks to the pair of you for exposing what is happening to so many due to the greed of insurance companies and the apathy in the medical field. May your message be heard by the masses.
I am so sorry for what you went through. I think is AWEFUL what is happening to all of us. I feel as you, what sustains me is to know that Jeffrey is under God Almighty custody, with a perfect, absolutely perfect body and EXPERIENCING A JOY and HAPPINESS that we cannot even imagine.
I 100% agree on this moms response to the negative comments. We should provide treatment for everyone not matter what, everyone is a human and sometimes humans make mistakes. Rest in peace Jeffrey, thoughts and prayers to your parents ❤
Thank you 💙 Thank You
Rest in peace Jeffrey ❤
I have always admired the strength of this family.
Yes, so many families. ❤
Thank you. 💙
His eyes are so beautiful 😢
As a Mental Health Therapist INSURANCE IS THE WORST!!!!
This country is pretty bad with regards to mental health care.
So are providers and professionals. You immediately blame the insurance company in an attempt to try to deflect from the providers. That is what we call a trained strategy to try to protect providers. Providers abuse everyday and obviously it happened in this case. Nevermind the amount of fraud in your profession. Billing for appointments that never happen. Billing for one hour after only 15 mins of "care." Let's not manipulate here and focus just on the insurance company. They all failed this family.
@@user-zq3gf4pf8l absolutely!!! Their is fraud EVERYWHERE!!! INSURANCE, PHARMACEUTICAL, DOCTORS, (which means Providers, including my industry, lawyers!!!
And ABOVE ALL, THE GOVT, OT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND HUMANS!!! SOME HUMANS, for me, IT IS INS!! once some abuses power, some rules change that hurt WONDERFUL PROVIDERS WHO TRULY CARE, LIKE MYSELF!! SO OT OS INSURANCE for many
Jeffrey was blessed beyond measure with you in his court! God bless you
You guys need to fight for Jeffery and get justice for your son
SO MUCH NEGLECT FROM THE HOSPITAL!
THEN AGAIN THE WORLD IS RULED BY MONEY.
THANK YOU @Texas Pictures Documentaries for sharing this.
May God have mercy with all of the families who are going through this.

Thank you
I've nothing but admiration for his parents. They fought fiercely for their boy. However, we don't win all fights. The family should find some consolation in the fact that they did EVERYTHING possible that they could do to fight for him. I have immense respect and admiration for his family. But my heart also breaks for them. As it often seems to go, his suffering ended. Yet his family's suffering has increased.
They need to learn how to let go. Truly.
@@stuff1784 I hope you are not a parent. Sincerely.

A parent should know better than to put their severely brain damaged adult child through a whole year of feeding tubes, throwing up, infections, surgeries, and intensive physical therapy. They should never have put him through that. He is severely brain damaged and can’t consent to any of this. The Jeffrey they knew LEFT the day he overdosed. They should have let him go peacefully, but no, they put him through all this unnecessary pain and trauma to keep him alive in this miserable state. He didn’t have a clue of what was going on. Not fair.
With all humility and respect to you, with a heart full of gratitude… THANK YOU

So very very sorry for the loss of your son.. what a heartbreaking journey. Peace to you both.
Interesting Mrs Jessica…when you started talking about his condition reversal…holding his head up …muscle weakness. You could see Jeffrey had dark circles under his eyes. Weight loss. Same thing happened to my grandmother with her trachea. it was not being kept sanitary. My mother took her home and made sure her trachea was kept clean. She was able to have it removed and improved. Poor sweetheart. Stable? Unbelievable…he should have been in ICU. Doctors don’t fight for patients anymore. None. This is happening…apparently hospitals are being run by corporations not doctors anymore. It’s like pulling teeth to see a specialist even if you don’t need a referral by your insurance. The medical facilities want the referral. Even then the medical facilities deny you. Something is seriously wrong with the medical system. God bless and be with you both.
Thank you so much for understand us and have compassion towards us.
Wow I just watched his original story too. This kills me. Man. Didn’t think I’d be crying this morning. As a mom, I just want to hug her. She’s never alone. We love you. So much. Jeffrey is at peace now. We will always love him too. We will tell his story forever. All my love. ❤ oh man. 😢 my heart.
You have made me cried. Thank you 💙

@@JESSICAVARIAN ohhhhh mama! 🥺 I will absolutely donate and share. Thanks so much for sharing with me. You are so strong for telling his story. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us ♥️ you are a true gift! Jeffrey will save lives 🫶🏼
Thank God he was set free from the body he was stuck in. An autopsy... Instead of being thankful he no longer had to live like that for them..smh
-19 years in the field
RIGHT!!!!
They should be thankful he is now out of his pain and suffering.
I can’t imagine putting my brain dead son through ALL THIS just so I can cling to who he used to be…
Critical care nurse for 22 years and I have a lot of questions.🤔🤔🤔
So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers.💔💔💔💔😢
Because we're hearing only one side of the story, so do I.
@@ilovegoodsaxno, you are not. We have an autopsy to prove it and the discharge papers AND the insurance letter. Believe me. My husband and I are not crying babies. We are neither the type of people who cannot see reality.
We think with objectivity and intelligence, we are educated, SMART, knowledgeable of the topics we speak about and … we don’t speak out of a secure foundation where we can STAND.
Do not minimize us.
Thank you -- thank you
@ilovegoodsax everone says exactly what you say untill your love one is facing this situation then people understand. Our nation is under attack with fentanyl. In whatever you believe in God or mother earth or atheist. These are life's of people that are dying every day of overdose even innocent people that are working to stop the corruption came in counter with and lose their life. No one deserves poor quality of health care. you work and pay for health care and your insurance is always giving the run around they are a industry that makes a lot of money along with pharmaceutical. We have all been in some kind of situation with our love one. God doesn't want any one to be mistreated. In general no one deserves this kind of treatment. Please think about. May God bless you and your love ones. May every day you think of your life and families life with respect because im sure if this would be your child's life, you would want the best health care ever. You would do everything to ask questions and understand what is going on with their health. Every life matters. Go in peace seek Jesus Christ as your savior. Once again blessings and God bless America 🇺🇸
George, your giving Jeffrey peace, repeating it as often as you did to him, gave Jeffrey that peace he needed to be still… you are beyond incredible .
My husband is very thankful for your words.
I totally agree! You can tell the kind of Man he is, a true Man of God .
@@daynapooh also very kind and gentle. He adores his wife, respects her and loved Jeffrey with all his heart. God put that family together.
@@Beachlove05 thank you so much. You know? … George and I always felt as you said. That was God decision to put us together.
@@daynapooh Thank you. He is. He is a good good man. A Godly man. He is my security and my nest. I rest on him. Thank you.
you have to pay top dollar for supposedly excellent care and you're not getting it not only are you not getting it you're getting half-assed at best
Im currently going through a similar situation for my loved one, thank you for giving me the strength to keep fighting!! YOU WERE HIS ANGEL ON EARTH ! ❤
I literally just watched Jeffrey’s first remarkable miracle episode yesterday and to see this today is absolutely heartbreaking. 😭 I’m so so so sorry for your loss. He couldn’t have had better parents than you. 💔
Thank you so much 💙

Most High God, please give this family peace in these trying times of losing their beautiful son. He looked just like his mother. My prayers are with you and your family and everyone that is hurting 🙏🏾❤
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
This is some golden information.
I am so sorry to hear Jeffery had to pass this way. And that you both fought SO HARD and Healthcare let you down over MONEY.
Shame on them!😠
May The Lord bless you with Peace and the courage to FIGHT THIS IN JEFFERIES MEMORY
Thank you Michele.
This family is so educated and well spoken and most of passionate in their efforts to get the message out. Thank you Texas documentaries for publishing these stories ❤
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you for sharing Jeffreys story. When I watched the first video, I was very touched with the mother’s passion and was looking forward to seeing what the Lord would do. I’m sure God’s work is not done, but I’m sad to hear he has passed. I was actually thinking about him this week wondering how he was doing so I appreciate seeing the follow up. Thank you for sharing his journey.
We were waiting as well … believing and fighting with all we got. God made His Own Decision and He decided to go to be Healed under His Protection and Live Forever away from this evil world 🌍. Thank you for your kind words.
I'm very sad to watch this...I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences and love 💖
Thank you
This is such a sad situation, I feel their pain and loss. May Jeffery rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends. 😢
Words can’t describe!! Parents aren’t meant to bury children. !! And this world …. Man…. I’ll be so happy when Jesus comes to take us ALL home in heaven
These ‘hospitalists’ and administrators will seemingly do anything for insurance money. We saw that with sars cov 2. You hear these same stories from everywhere in the nation - patients discharged when they need hospital care only. THANK YOU to this family for your GREAT WORK! May precious Jeffrey be at peace, just as was whispered into his ear.
Thank you Stephanie.
You went through hospital hell. Thank you for warning us. I saw how the hospital treated my alz sweet mother, and told her GP and Urologist we need to team up, because I am not taking her ever back to the hospital.
Patients and hospitals can appeal a denial from any insurance !! I’m crying 😢 these Dr’s Nurses take an oath !!!!
Thank you for being so tender and kind.
RIP Jeffrey! No Word’s! +
The parents are correct about being informative. You must be your own advocate & refuse discharge when its not right. Be as annoying as possible to be heard. I know from experience with in-laws.
The heart and soul of a Mother is a force to be reckoned with. Hers is is without doubt the most compelling testimony to this I have ever seen! RIH sweet Jeffrey ❤
Aww I cannot tell you how encourage I am to heard this words. Thank you for giving me more strength to FIGHT.
My heart breaks for your loss of Jeffrey. Thank you for fighting for him. Thank you for educating people about what they will face with insurance companies, doctors and hospitals.
I do share that pain of losing a son. May you be comforted knowing you will see him again in heaven. Blessings to you both. 🙏🫂
I am very sorry for your loss
For the issues in the hospital with the nursing staff, you can be frustrated but losing your cool will never be in your favor. Most hospitals have code of conduct for visitors and yelling at the nurses station to is definitely against it even if you feel your voice is not being heard. It’s a working relationship between medical staff and patient/family so keeping it calm helps communication move more freely. I’m sorry you felt like your son wasn’t being cared for properly :(
He wasn’t
I am so sorry for your loss and I will pay for you guys for Jeffrey i would not know what I will do if my kids would die i almost lost my daughter to this she has been clean for 2 years now and God bless you so much too
I think it's fair to say Jeffrey is advocating to others through you guys ❤
Devastated for your loss and the malpractice of that hospital. Unfortunately, they saw him as a drug addict who did this to himself. There is a terrible stereotype and I notice the doctor's, insurance, etc. don't care as much as if it happened accidentally to someone who didn't take a drug. Everyone should be treated and cared for equally! It's absolutely disgusting and I hope they peruse legal actions.
Thank you. But at this time, they didn’t care about the origin of his situation. So is worse because they just didn’t care. That’s all.
That is so true. The minute Dr's, nurses, pharmacisits etc hear that you are a recovering addict their whole attitude visibly change. I watched Jeffrey's story just yesterday it popped up in my feed and om heartbroken that he's passed through sheer negligence. I now speak up, make complaints against Dr's I was an addict for 4 years and I'm 45 and been clean a long time but those people will make me pay for those horrible years for the rest of my life if I let them.
@@kes78 so so so sorry for what you went through long time ago and for what you go through now. Thank you for sharing your comment with us. God bless.
The insurance part of healthcare is a bunch of the problems.
YES. The health insurance industry is BROKEN.
Something is going on than what rest of hospitals speak by itself , US citizens may have somewhat limited by insurance , No limited to insurance for a very large migrants from other countries , " Free Health ". Nailed it !
I feel compassion for these parents however as a legal professional, if you are intending to file a medical malpractice suite against the hospital, I would advice against giving interviews that consist of detailed information pertaining to your late son’s care. The hospital attorney’s will go to great legal lengths to incriminate the petitioner. Just a bit of free advice and my condolences to this family for their loss. Death in my opinion based on what was described, could have been preventable. Of course that would be up to their attorney to fight a case of medical malpractice and I wish you success in doing so.
Dear Daniella, Thank you for the advice, we are convinced that Jeffrey’s death was preventable. This entire process has devastating us. We understand completely your point. But initially we didn’t intend to pursue legal action, because we know how well prepared are these people to defend their lack of ethics and integrity. Far more the lack of consciousness and for sure MAL PRACTICE even when is evident.
At the end It is a loss - OUR LOSS - because we are the only ones paying for life for their neglect.
Thank you very much.
George and Jessica Varian
Preach it MaMa Bear you are both ROCKSTARS keep being your baby boys voice! Praying for you both.
Love in Christ,
Selenia
Thank you sweetie
I'm so disgusted with out for-profit Healthcare system. I watched the first video about Jeffrey but missed the second. I will go watch it.
To his parents I say I'm so sorry and and was crying watching this.
I thank you for every single tear you poured out for Jeffrey and us. It shows your compassion and noble heart. 💙
Thank you SO MUCH for this video and all of the information you put in it. I have had to fight with the insurance company for three months to be able to see the doctor I needed, and it is what I hear time after time exactly what you are saying it is.
My heart goes out to this mom and her family. You both are phenomenal parents and I love your faith. Your son was so blessed to have YOU as his mom. Addiction is a baffling and cunning disease. My son is 30 and has battled alcoholism. He is sober today but tomorrow is not promised. I pray for his continued recovery , strength and sobriety .
I know how hard it is to watch your child suffer, no matter their age.
May God comfort you always. Much love, Sandy
I lift up a pray for you and your son. Honestly I pray he never goes back. Thank you for your kind words.
Dearest Jessica and George, i feel so badly that sweet Jeffrey suffered with sepsis during his last few days.I often watch the wonderful videos of his miraculous progress. The hospital is to blame for discharging a septic patient with pneumonia and ileus. God Bless you and give you strength. Ingrid
George and I are reading your message. Thank you 💙
Human life vs money I’m so sorry Jefferey was a victim May he be in paradise now 🌹 ty for keeping his legacy alive so others may live ☀️
The sad truth of Jeffrey's condition is that he was extremely compromised and pneumonia and sepsis are very easy to acquire. I am a long time RN and have seen cases like this one many times. But I'm also a mother of sons and feel for this couple. I honestly don't know if I would want to put them through years and years of this. Rip, sweet boy.
This mother is amazing. What she is telling is very interesting. All of us have to pay attention to her.
This is what insurance companies and hospitals need to hear. We care about our loved ones.
Michael Jackson has a song called:
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us.
Love you ! 💙
Oh no I remember Jeffrey's name and his spirit was so bright even while incapacitated. RIP Jeffrey.
Thank you for your continued efforts
You are wonderful advocates. You helped your son to get better in spite of all odds and you will help many others by telling your story. As long as health care is a profit making enterprise, nothing will change. Even the non profits exist to enrich the C suites. Universal healthcare is our best hope for getting everyone the care they need and deserve. Also: every local TV station every single day should start their broadcast by reporting how many people died from fentanyl that day, in that community, in that state, in this country. It is an epidemic and with a grandson at risk I worry constantly. I learned a lot from this video, thank you so much.
You are absolutely RIGHT !
That’s a great idea. However hospitals are not reporting as they did in Covid time. It is a SHAME but we going o SCREAM !!!! LOUD !!!!
As a Mental Health Therapist, I understand HOSPITALS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, AND DOCTORS ARE THE WORSE!!!! (not all doctors, but ALLLL INS and PHARMACEUTICAL!!!!
My mom passed away in 2020! Couldn't sue bc of lawyers, did sue where she fell, but should've also included the doctor who transferred her to wrong facility. Its HEARTBREAKING HOW MUCH DOCTORS AND NURSES DO THE WRONG THING!!!
Now, I am going to say some hurtful words so as not to make matters worse , but as a seasoned RN, it's not alright to come back at us. I don't think many understand but, the mom is and has been in denial. Their son has had many disciplines who were able to get this young man as medically stable as humanly possible. Jeffrey hasn't been ignored, forgotten and I am sure that he reached his optimal functionality. With that said, he is now custodial or a chronic traumatic brain injury patient. All of the continuous therapy would not change the situation. Unfortunately, TBI patients will get sick with pneumonia or a UTI repeatedly. It's just a fact. As an RN I would bet that they would cringe as they approached. Their denial is so blinding. And as for a lawsuit goes, they will not win. It's a tragedy, Jeffrey is in a better place
Every child needs a mother like this brave woman. She is a powerhouse. I am so sorry for your loss.
The pain in their voices and faces is so heartbreaking 💔 rest in peace with Jesus jeffrey
You are so right about the ins companies run the show. I was a medical biller for over 30 years. Insurance always deny you have to submit an appeal with all of the patients documentation. Just an fyi for people going through the same thing. I am so sorry for your lost it should have never happened.
I'm sorry to hear of the challenges that were thrown your way as you zealously advocated for Jeffrey's wellbeing. That was unnecessary and painful. I hope that you will attain healing yourselves, someday, and remember the happy times with your son, moreso than the sad ones 😢❤
Thank you so much for bringing the fentanyl crisis and the insurance industry's cruelty to our attention. I appreciate the time and effort you put into educating us when you are grieving the loss of your wonderful son to this poison.
With all our hearts .. thank you … 💙
My heart breaks for this family & every family who is going through illness. 💔 Advocating for a loved one is very exhausting. The healhcare system is corrupt. Praying for God's strength, peace & love to surround you as you mourn your precious son Jeffery. God Bless you. 💜🙏🏻
Thank you very much for your compassion towards us.
I've been waiting for this one. Jessica I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this it'll save someone's life 💓
RIP Jeffrey ✨🌠✨
My condolences 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing this story. I wish the best for Jeffrey's family
I'm so sorry for your loss. I learned about Jeffrey a few months ago and later learned of his passing and I also recently found your book about your other son Jorge. Just know I admire your enormous faith after all you have been through. I am a young doctor myself and after working in Neurosurgery for almost half a year, one thing that angers and disappoints me is how easily medical personnel give up on patients with brain damage. All you did for your son will be rewarded both in this life and the next.
