Trish's hospitalization expenses
Donation protected
My best friend Trish (Rosiak) Donaldson went to the emergency room on Monday, June 27 because she was experiencing shortness of breath. They admitted her that day and suspected that she had cardiomyopathy, which was confirmed by a heart cath on Tuesday. That same evening, Trish was moved to Allegheny General in Pittsburgh because they specialize in the kind of care that she needs.
Trish's heart is not pumping enough blood and is only functioning around 10%. She has been placed on medication to slow the rate of her heart so that it doesn't have to work so hard. After developing a blood clot in her lung on Friday, she has also been placed on blood thinners. A second heart cath will be performed on Tuesday, July 5, to determine if the medicine is improving the function of her heart. If it is, she may be able to go home and continue to treat the condition with medicine. If there is no improvement, other, more serious options will be investigated (I will update this as I know more).
Of course there are going to be medical bills for a long time to come, but right now we are focusing on immediate need. Trish is obviously not working right now, and she will not be able to any time soon, if ever. Right now she needs money to cover things like mortgage payments, utility bills, and other daily expenses.
For those that know her, Trish has a gift of making others feel better. It shows in her relationship with her children, family, and friends. It also shows in her work. As a housekeeper at Mon General, she shows the greatest care to her patients and work-family.
For me personally, she has helped me take life, and the people in it, less seriously. Throughout our thirty-year journey, she has taught me about friendship, love, family, and forgiveness. She has that spark that can brighten your whole day, and chances are, if you've met her, she has made you laugh.
Any amount will help and be greatly appreciated by Trish and her family. Thank you in advance to all those are able to help. For anyone who is unable to donate, please lift Trish in a word of prayer.
I will updated this page as new developments are made in her progress.
Thank you again.
