Carie had a major stroke on Christmas morning. Medical bills are mounting and the family needs our help. The family has not asked at all but I know they need help. Please consider giving what you can. HER STORY-
Christmas morning Carie had a stroke. She went to the hospital. They did some tests and decided to care flight her to Harris Hospital. They did surgery to remove several small clots. She spent a couple days on a ventilator and did not open her eyes, but responded to questions by movement of feet and squeezing hands. The stroke was around her brain stem which is dangerous. She has since been moved to a rehab facility. She has a feeding tube, still a fever, and is in a lot of pain. She still cannot open her eyes or communicate well. She is getting physical therapy which she needs desperately. Doctors say her memory and personality is in tact but the damage affected her communication and her eyelids among other things. Docs say with a lot time to heal, and help, she can overcome these and see improvement. The medical bills are mounting as well as having to pay for daycare for Nora since Carie was her full time care giver. Insurance may not pay for her to stay much longer. Please if you feel so led contribute what you can to help ease the financial burden so they can focus on Carie. Thank you!
