Blood drive continues to honor fallen Fort Myers police officer Adam Jobbers-Miller

The Fifth Annual Adam Jobbers-Miller Blood Drive started on Monday. The Fort Myers Police officer was murdered in the line of duty back in 2018. This year’s blood drive will be the first since his killer, Wisner Desmaret, was sentenced to life in prison. It’s a chance for the community to help out a good cause in honor of the fallen 29-year-old officer. Desmaret shot Jobbers-Miller during a foot chase on July 21, 2018. First responders rushed him to Lee Memorial, where he survived for a week. Five years later, no one has forgotten that night. “I was called in the night that Adam was brought in,” said Renee McCauley, director of trauma in the ICU at Lee Memorial. Lt. Roger Valdivia, with the Fort Myers Police Department, said he spent those seven days at the hospital with Jobbers-Miller’s family. “As I sought to comfort Adam’s family, we prayed together that he would pull through, but he did not survive,” said Denise Sawyer, a chaplain at Lee Health. While doctors were unable to save the officer, they were able to give him time for his family to gather and eventually say goodbye. “In those critical moments, the first minutes of trauma, it’s that important that we have that blood readily available for that patient, and that night was Adam,” McCauley said. In his memory, the police department and hospital system have honored him with the annual blood drive. “It’s another way that Adam, although he’s not with us here, it’s still another way that he’s still contributing to this community,” Valdivia said. Jeremy Puckett, the blood center supervisor, said he got to meet Jobbers-Miller through everyone that takes the time to make a donation. <img data-attachment-id="364664" data-permalink="https://winknews.com/2023/07/25/adam-jobbers-miller-blood-drive/vlcsnap-2023-07-25-14h02m13s083/" data-orig-file="https://winknews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/vlcsnap-2023-07-25-14h02m13s083.png" data-orig-size="1920,1080" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="vlcsnap-2023-07-25-14h02m13s083" data-image-description data-image-caption=" This is the fifth year Lee Memorial and FMPD host a blood drive honoring fallen officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

Grammy winning Tori Kelly being treated in hospital for blood clots

Getty Images By Chloe Kim BBC News, New York Two-time Grammy winner Tori Kelly is being treated in hospital for blood clots in her lungs and legs after collapsing at a dinner, US media report. Reports suggest the 30-year-old’s condition is “really serious”. She was at a dinner in Los Angeles when she experienced elevated heart rates before passing out, TMZ reported. Her team have yet to publicly address her health. The BBC has contacted her representatives for comment. The singer-songwriter rose to fame posting videos to YouTube and appearing on TV singing competitions. TMZ reported she was passed “out for a while” and was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital by car not an ambulance. Doctors discovered blood clots in Kelly’s legs and her lungs and are trying to determine if any clots are around her heart. The singer has been in and out of consciousness during her time in the intensive care unit (ICU), according to media reports. In 2019, Kelly won two Grammy Awards – Best Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance/Song – and in 2015 she won the Billboard Women in Music Breakthrough Artist Award. She won America’s Most Talented Kids at age 11, recorded an album at 13 and a few years later made it to Hollywood Week on American Idol. Her debut full-length album Unbreakable Smile peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and her single, Nobody Love, secured her spot on the Hot 100 chart. Fans have flocked to the musician’s social media pages after reports of her illness. “Praying that you’re OK we love you Tori,” one fan said. Another wrote, “hurry up and get better before I cry”. Earlier this year she addressed comments on the lack of new material, saying “I get frustrated too because I just want to put this music out and tour again but unfortunately it’s not as simple as just releasing songs whenever i want”. She has a new EP, a shortened album, coming out on 28 July. Related Topics United States
