Letissia’s Healing

Last week my mother went in for surgery after fighting diverticulitis for nearly a year, unable to get rid of one infection before another one occurring within weeks. 24 hours post operation she became critically Ill and went into septic shock. She was rushed into a second surgery, after too much time had already passed, to repair a hole that was leaking into her abdomen. She came out of the second surgery on life support. In the early morning hours the following day she was flight lifted to UVM medical center as she wasn’t maintaining a high enough blood pressure to keep her organs from shutting down. After a long few days she was finally able to come off the ventilator. Ever since it seems we are still jumping hurdles to get her on the straight path forward. Right now there is suspicion of yet another infection that could potentially lead to yet another surgery. It will all take time, lots of time. She’s already so exhausted and still has so much work to do. My hopes for this funding is that she can go home some day and not only rest her body, but her mind after returning to life again. Because she will be dealing with so much more than the physical recovery, she will be mending her soul forever after this experience.

Thank you all for the prayers, love and support. They have helped her and her family more than you know. We are all in this for the long haul.
