HEATHER VANCE needs help for her RECOVERY.
Shirley Bell Cantelmi and Melissa Chavez wanted to set this up but didn’t know how... so that’s why it’s under my name.
As many of you know my sister was pinned between a big rig and a trailer backing up to connect it on Wednesday night March 3rd.
She was helicopter from Eagle Pass, TX to SanAntonio Brooke Army Medical Trauma 1 hospital.
Mom, Joshua (her son) and I hopped a plane on Friday to get her as fast as we could. Luckily my dad was retired military so my mom was able to get us off and on the base easily with her ID.
She has had 6 surgeries to date.
#1-they took her spleen
#2-exploratory
#3-repair the liver
#4-repair her diaphragm
#5-rod put in back to repair a broken vertebrae
#6-closed her up
#7???-might be to repair a hole in her lungs.
We are staying on base at a Holiday Inn. We can see the hospital from our window. Luckily we can see her and spend some time with her.
We are staying from March 5 - March 14. We don’t want to leave until she is more stable. Nurses believe she will be in ICU this whole week. UGH... it’s so hard to see.
Airline tickets, hotel, rental car and food costs will add up... so any help is appreciated.
PRAYERS ARE ALSO APPRECIATED!!!
