Help for Donna's medical expenses

Donation protected
Mid morning on Tuesday, I received a phone call from my mother's supervisor at work informing me that she wasn't feeling well and was requesting I come and get her to take her to the ER. After arriving, she slowly climbed into my car, moaning in pain. We didn't make it a half mile, before I had to pull over so she could vomit. She hadn't called a squad because it was too expensive, but she decided she couldn't make it any further. The squad picked her up,..pale as a ghost, in tremendous pain, nauseated and having cold sweats. After arriving at Wetzel County Hospital, she was medicated for her pain and given a CT scan that showed a 4.5mm stone and several more in her kidney. She was told it would pass on its own and sent home with pain medication. My Aunt drove from Marietta to pick her up from the hospital and take her back home with her so she could be looked after. She also had to pull over along the road for her to be sick...so after a long night with no improvement, they went to Marietta Memorial ER. After further testing, it was discovered she not only had a kidney infection, she was now in septic shock with acute kidney and liver failure. Her pressures were in the 60/20's, they immediately placed a central line and started her on a Levaphed drip to help improve her pressure. She was then admitted into the ICU. She is still not showing much improvement. Another CT scan and more labs show that the stone is blocking the infection from draining and a stent would need placed. She had a muffin this evening, preventing her from having surgery, but her condition was too serious to wait until morning, so they just took her back to place a nephrostomy tube in her back, directly into her kidney to drain the infection. Unfortunately, she may still have to have further surgery to take care of the stone lodged in her ureter.

Anyone who knows my mother, knows she goes out of her way to try and help others. I'm asking for help for her this once. Any little thing will help ♡♡ Thanks in advance.

I'll try and keep everyone posted on her condition.
