Lipski and Bodanske family

Hi, Our names are Adam and Allie Lipski and We are setting up this donation site for our niece Emma. Emma is 10 years old and as of recently she has had some weakness in her legs leaded to her unable to walk for periods of time. After 2 months of dr appointments, scans, x-rays, and multiple MRIs and angiograms, Emma has been diagnosed with AVM’s of her thoracic spine. Emma has been in the hospital the past 9 days along with her mom Nicole and Dad Clint who have exhausted their PTO at this time due to not leaving their princess’s side.

Thursday Emma had surgery to fix these AVMs, however, after the surgeons started the procedure they realized that the spinal cord was too involved and that they would not be able to help. Emma and her parents have been referred to the best neurosurgeon in the country in Arizona. They will be taking the trip to AZ this week sometime and Emma will have this surgery on her spine. As you probably can imagine these past 9 days, future appointments, therapies, scans, and procedure will be emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting for this family. We are asking for your help and support so Nicole and Clint can be there and worry a little less as these expenses start coming in.
