Helping Heather to recovery and medical expenses.
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my sweet younger sister Heather Aldridge, a member of the Class of 2020 at Bessmer High School, is in the hospital very sick. On the morning of January 20th I got the worst news that I could have ever imagined I got a call that my sister had been admitted to the hospital for what she had thought was just a pretty bad cold, which turned out to be the flu and later into pneumonia which she is still battling. We also were informed that she was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Very quickly it became way worse than anything we could have ever imagined she immediately was airlifted to a different facility to get the best care she can since she had to be put on a ventilator almost immediately and once she got to Duluth not long after she coded for almost 40 minutes which really hurt a lot of her body once they got her back they were able to get her on life support. Each day after has been filled with lots of hope and love sending her way. Later once they finally took her off sedation the doctors and my family quickly realized that she is in a coma. So, currently she is in a coma at the University of Minnesota hospital in the Twin Cities in the ICU and faces months of recovery, rehabilitation and therapy. Unfortunately, yesterday they had to remove her leg so it’s going to be a long road to recovery but we hope with the support and love being sent from so many of you that she gets through this and can continue her life.
Those of you who have come to appreciate Heather for her kind personality and her love of nature as an active outdoors woman with a lively spirit I ask you to join me to aid Heather in the endless rehabilitation and extensive therapy she will undergo in the next few months as well as the rest of her life.
Please consider joining me in supporting her amazing spirit and with her horrific struggle to regain her health. The goal of this request is to raise financial support to lessen the burden on Heather and our family during this difficult time. Please consider making a financial contribute to cover the expenses Heather and our family have and will continue to incur as she moves forward onto the many challenges for her future. In addition, please keep her in your prayers and consider sending a message to her at https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=0DSYxkdBd0eJHafc3uLVZm1QMV9aTdVJke9HhLaBsuRUMU5MV1hCWkE5RTc4MElNWTZHMk0wVjRYMi4u which will send a kind note right to her room she is in the East Bank ICU as of right now.
Thank you, Amber & family
