On Monday Oct 9th Fred Cakanic from Milwaukee, WI was shot in the back.
He was walking to the back door of his house after work. When a guy approached him and demanded his wallet. As Fred was trying to get his wallet out the man shot him. He was able to make it to the back door and get his mom.
He was taken to the hospital. The bullet hit a main artery. He was bleeding internally and lost 3 units of blood (you only have 5 units in your body). Fred went into surgery that lasted at least 4 hours. He made it out of surgery ok and the doctor was able to remove the bullet. They had to remove ½ his lung. He is currently in the ICU. The doctor is hoping Fred will be moved to a regular room on Wednesday the 11th. Fred’s recovery is going excellent. The doctors and nurses are impressed. He has been sitting up, talking, and hasn’t complained about the pain.
The hospital Fred is staying at is:
