Christine Freke hasn't added a story.
Help is desperatly needed by a fellow Afghan Hound owner Roz Livesey
(Roz McAndrew) who has been associated with the breed for many years.
Funds are needed to pay for ongoing kenneling fees for Roz' boys due
to Roz' ongoing and unexpected health issues which are not of her own
making. The boys have been kenneled for 3 months so far after what was
expected to be Gall Bladder removal surgery followed by a period of
recovery which has been fraught with problem after problem. Even
though Roz' health situation is not good her only concern is for
"her boys". Please, please help if you can, here is Roz'
desperate story so far..........
Someone we all know and love, a fellow Afghan Hound owner for
many years and a character larger than life Roz McAndrew
"Rozzy" has had quite a terrible time with her health
recently. Roz was scheduled for Gall Bladder removal surgery in Mater
Misericordiae University Hospital in Dublin on 19th May. This surgery
alone can be a horrendous operation but Roz suffered a BIG bleed the
night following her surgery and had to be returned to theater.
Roz was given the all clear to return home with drains still in
place on 29th May. On 4th June due to Roz' diligence an infection
under the drain was discovered which narrowly missed turning
into septicemia and Roz was placed on a massive dose of antibiotics.
15th June Roz was back in hospital with an internal abscess under her
drains, she had spent 4 weeks with the drain in but despite her dire
health situation she still had to wait for a bed to undergo further
surgery to rectify the situation in the meantime Roz also had a fresh
bleed with caused a massive clot which also caused a spike in her
temperature. On 24th June after the wait Roz finally had
her agonizing surgery but as you can imagine our normally strong and
cheerful "Rozzy" was feeling quite tired, depressed and
deflated by this time.
25th June As if all the above wasn't
enough to cope with Roz has now had another set back she went
to theater to have the old drains removed but returned to the ward
because they could not be removed. She was told by the surgeons they
can't operate now because they found stones in the binary duct which
basically means starting from scratch again and she has to have
ANOTHER general surgery which puts her back another 6 weeks.
All
through this Roz' only concern was for her Afghan Hounds Rian, Rico
and Ronan who have spent 13 weeks in boarding kennels and are expected
to spend even more time there while Roz continues her recovery period.
Roz, because she is not on social welfare is faced with a 6K medical
bill along with a £1,350.00 bill for the boarding kennel fees for her
boys. The original bill was close to £3,000 but the boarding kennels
when they heard Roz' plight kindly reduced the costs for her which has
helped Roz trememdously.
Roz has been through a great deal in a short time, narrowly
missed losing her life due to the risk of septicemia and now the added
stress of the bills will not help her recovery. I can honestly say
that I have never, ever seen Roz this low but even though she is this
low her only worry is "her boys" so i just wanted to set up
this fundrazr for Roz to show how very much she is loved and how much
we are all thinking about her and that even through she is living back
in Ireland although we are far away in our hearts we are close.
Anything you can donate will be appreciated to help ease the burden of
the financial worries and get our Roz well on the way to recovery. If
you can't donate then please keep Roz in your prayers for a good
outcome and speedy recovery. Get well Soon Roz xx
