Help Patricia in Brittany's Battle with Spina Bifida
Donation protected
Hello.....my name is Patricia Anderson. I really hesitated creating a go fund me page because I know everyone is struggling and I have a hard time asking for help. My daughter Brittany was born with Spina Bifida and has gone thru so much in her 30 years. She has fought a tough battle but honestly I think she is tired of fighting.....its almost as if she has no fight left in her. It's been really hard on me to see her struggle and the fact that I am the only parent that has supported her and her brother for most of their life's. I left their dad when they were 2 and 6 and ended up just agreeing to get my lawyer to sign over his parental rights as I couldn't afford to keep taking him back and forth to court to try to get child support as the judge always felt sorry for him because he was bi-polar. Anyways, I made sure I provided and was always there for both of them. Brittany has had numerous hospitalizations and 23 major surgeries. The most recent turn of events when her health declined ended her in the hospital from March 12 - April 1. She was home for a 3 days and continued to get worse. She was throwing up so bad that i ended up calling the squad to her because she couldn't hardly catch her breath. So she was re-admitted to the hospital on April 5 and she is still in the hospital. I stay around the clock with her except to run home to feed the kitties and check on the house, then I am right back up at the hospital. I am worried about my daughter. She will have one good day then several bad days. Her blood levels are all over the place and she has had to receive 3 pints of blood to date as her platelet level keeps dropping. She also has 2 decubitus ulcers on her bottom that they are trying to get healed up, with one being pretty big and deep. She has not really ate anything at all and wounds needs nutrition in order to heal. I have no idea how much longer she will be in the hospital and this not only has affected me mentally and physically, but it has put a huge financial burden on me. If you can help any at all it would be greatly appreciated. No amount is to small and it would help tremendously. And if you cant help just know prayers also mean so much as I know we serve a powerful God and with him by our side all things are possible and I know he can heal my daughter to start back living the life she normally lives at home. Thank you all so much for reading my daughters story. Hugs and blessings to all. And again anything is appreciated.
