River christie-white hasn't added a story.
Kristi White is an Indigenous Children's Author who has captivated audiences with her book series The Adventures of Jay and Gizmo; unfortunately, she had to go in for emergency surgery following a failed cervical spinal fusion and disk replacement. To treat this, she had to have another cervical spinal fusion and disk replacement at C4-C5 (Right above the previous one). This procedure has left her in a worse condition than the previous one, with significant neurological impairments, including reduced sensitivity and control of the right side of the body. She has been having significant problems with processes such as walking and swallowing and is suffering from intense vertigo and recall issues. She is asking for help in this challenging time as she is still being held in the hospital due to what has been described, along with other developing issues. Kristi is the breadwinner in our family, and while myself (River) and Reid (My Dad) work, we are having issues with keeping up financially as we not only have to deal with issues such as bills but in Moms current state, she has a long path to recovery including having to modify the house to suite her limitations, including mobility aids, safety bars, etc, not all of which are covered or available. On a final note, we know this has been incredibly difficult for everyone, including the Jay and Gizmo community and the family. Thanks to everyone for their love, support, and prayers!
As a final note, my mom is a medical anomaly. This is the first time they've seen an adjacent failure in the first year, and the stats are around 1% for the likelihood of this happening.
