Help Britaney get the medical help she deserves

If you ask anyone to describe Britaney, they would most likely describe her as a social butterfly, life of the party, always on the go, and most definitely vivacious.

 

Beginning in October 2020, Britaney began to have what she described as "serious medical problems". Britaney reached out, complaining of dizziness and decreased concentration.

 

Britaney had some life changing events, such as a new job, new relationship, and a relocation which added to her stress.

She began having a decreased appetite in addition to the dizziness and also had some mobility issues.

 

Her symptoms continued to progress. She had an MRI in 11/2020 which showed some markers which could be indicative of multiple sclerosis. The team of physicians she was working with eventually ruled this out.

 

Due to the increase in her symptoms, Britaney relocated to Clarion, PA in 1/2021 to be with her mother and family to assist in her care. In March 2021 she began Physical therapy due to her increased mobility issues.

 

By May 2021 she began treatment for autoimmune encephalitis. She began a series of treatments which ultimately were unsuccessful and encephalitis was eventually ruled out.

 

Britaney's condition continued to worsen. In May 2021 she was using a walker. By Christmas time she could barely speak, using only one word at a time which was mumbled.

 

Fast forward to today, Britaney continues to be a medical mystery. Her condition has deteriorated to the point that she needs one to one supervision at all times. She is no longer able to care for herself. She is no longer able to speak.

 

Britaney's mom, Jill, has taken the last 2 months off of work without pay to care for Britaney. Britaney requires a skilled level of care due to her condition, however due to her needing 24/7 supervision no skilled nursing facility is willing to accept her. The next option is for her to go to a facility that specializes in persons with brain trauma.

Britaney is currently awaiting eligibility of  a program through her insurance that will help with the cost of the Brain Trauma facility (if she is  eligible). The processing of this program can take up to 90 days and Britaney needs to be in a Brain Trauma facility now.
