Shaka's for Loki
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Jess a friend of the Newby's and they need your help. If you know the Newby's then you know Lokelani and Joel are funny, kind, caring and loving people. Loki loves cooking, her fur babies Goliath and Cinnabun and Disney. Her greatest love is for her husband Joel, she loves being a wife more than anything and next to him is her favorite place to be.
Life has been hard for Loki she was diagnosed with kidney failure at age 19. Her brother jumped at the opportunity to donate a kidney to her but unfortunately after 8 years that kidney has failed. For the last 7 years she has been on dialysis and the transplant list waiting for an opportunity at a new life.
2016 was a rough year for them; she spent about 6 months in the hospital as the dr's have been searching to identify what is causing her illness. After 6 bouts of pancreatitis, they removed her gallbladder, unfortunately that did not fix the problem as tumors were found on her pancreas and spleen. She has been in severe pain. It's taken a toll on both of them but their spirits remain high.
Most recently she has been in the hospital since 12/30 when one of the tumors burst. They rushed her into emergency surgery last week for a total pancreatectomy (removes pancreas, spleen and portions of the intestine and stomach) She has been in the ICU with a nurse watching her 22 hours a day. As of today due to complications from the last surgery they have rushed her into emergency surgery that is going on as I write this message to you.
This is one surgery out of many and the bills are adding up. Though she is still in critical care they will have a long journey of recovery ahead. She will need an in home nurse along with continued home dialysis. Joel's employer LoanDepot.com has been truly supportive in helping him with his schedule; unfortunately with Loki's increased medical needs he will be forced to take a leave of absence. With the increased medical bills and Joel unable to work they will need some financial support for home and medical expenses. Any financial support will be greatly appreciated.
Please take a minute to send love, prayers and good thoughts their way. Show her some support with shaka's for Loki. #shakasforloki
