Help Trieste get better sleep

*Goal Update: We are beyond grateful for all the donations! The rest of the money earned will go towards extensive and ongoing medical bills. Again thank you so much!

Hey there, you may have heard about Trieste's health issues of late. If not here's the story. Around Mother's Day Trieste started to feel a bit winded, walking up a few stairs felt like a feat. The next day she really knew something was really wrong. She went into urgent care and after disusing everything with her Doctor she got a cat scan. Turned out she had blood clots in each of her lungs, not good. She was given a prescription for blood thinners and sent home.

We were hoping the blood thinners would help but two days later her heart decided it had had enough of not getting oxygen so it went ballistic. Her heart rate reached 245 BPM, which is normal for a cheetah, but not for a human person. She was rushed to the Emergency room where she was given a chemical diffribulator that re-started her heart, yes, you read that correctly like it flatlined for a second before slipping back into a normal pattern.

She didn't die but from here things got rough, like really really rough. She was admitted to the hospital but by now the clots had become extremely painful and she had to sleep sitting up to help with the pain. She was placed on oxygen. Turns out a portion of her lungs didn't make it out of the ordeal.

While it has been over a month, Trieste is still having lots of issues from all of this. She can't sleep comfortably laying flat.

Our friends and family have been amazing. People ask every day, what can we do for you guys? How can we help? Trieste needs an adjustable hospital-type bed. And though it’s not easy to do, we’re hoping we can ask for help to raise some money and buy her what she needs. In the middle of all of this, she also damaged a tooth and needs some dental care. A portion of this money will go to her tooth as well.

This has not been fun for Trieste and our family. We have however felt so much love from our friends and families. We appreciate all the ways that everyone has already helped us get through this and appreciate you for whatever you can give.

Love the Prusso's
