Holly Edmonds back surgery and trip
Donation protected
Some of you may know and some of you may not know what Holly Edmonds has been dealing with for the last 15 months. She has an annular tear withherniation at L4-5. She has pain in her lower back,buttocks,hips,thighs and she has some toes that are numb. She has been unable to work,clean house,unable to tolerate any activity such as walking,bending and lifting. She is also unable to participate in the active lives of her children,family,friends etc. Basically day to day activities that we all take for granted. She wants nothing more than to be active again to play with her kids go back to work as a nurse and help others get back to exercising and just enjoy life with her husband Darin and 2 children!
Here is where she found out that there is help. She just could use a little hand up from the rest of us.
She talked to the Laser Spine institute last week about another opinion for her back. She is so done with being in pain and is ready for some relief. With that being said they checked out her MRI imaging for free, and they feel they can fix her injured disc and nerves with a minimally invasive laser lumbar spinal decompression surgery!! She just heard back from the scheduler and will be leaving May 1st. The surgery is about 60-90 minutes and she will be up and walking in 2 hours afterwards. The whole process is in St. Louis. She will report there on May 2nd for current imaging,preop evaluation,etc. Then she will have surgery on May 5th post op appointment and discharged on the 6th and then she goes home!! So far Holly reports the whole process has been smooth and seamless with her being financed for the exact amount she will need to pay upfront. They are on a limited budget and will need to pay for 5-6 nights in a hotel,food,and gas. Her words were God will provide, especially if she has prayer warriors on her side. With that being said even if you can give a few dollars anything will help to get them setteled in St. Louis and help Holly and Darin not have to worry about the financial aspect of going to St Louis for her surgery.
