Hope for the Hirsch's

Donation protected
My wife Jillian Quinn Hirsch was 8 months pregnant and she had a rash from her neck down. The OBGYN said not to worry it's just an allergy to the pregnancy hormone causing the rash to come out when the hormone is highest  in the blood. We have been married for over six years.  My wife is full of life and always positive. Jillian has been through a lot in her 31 years of life. Two days before we were getting married a car t-boned her and at the time she was 9 months pregnant. I seen the car and I thank god her and the baby survived. She was injured and beat up pretty bad but she was ok.  She spent the night in the hospital to make sure the baby and her were ok. She had to refuse any x-rays of any part of her body due to being pregnant. Also she had to refuse head scans. My wife did not remember are wedding till 4 days after we were married. MY wife did not know but that day changed her life drastically. 6 weeks after the accident Jill gave birth to our beautiful baby Carson.  MY wife had to have a C-section due to our baby was "sunny side up" and his heartbeat was dropping fast. That's when I gowned up and held my wife's hand and watched the Doctors deliver our beautiful 8lb 7oz baby. He was and is perfect. We were complete. I never thought this would have happened. 6 weeks after Carson was born my Wife was lying down with a severe headache. I was heating up a bottle and I heard a boom. I run and see wife on the floor seizing and convolsing. She was foaming at her mouth. I thought she was dying. My wife was healthy before all of this! HEALTHY!!! She was rushed to the Hospital and they could not get her out of the seizures. My wife was then put in a coma for over three weeks. My wife had a blood clot in her head called Deep Venus Sinus  Thrombosis. She had a gran-mal seizure and a Stroke. Over the course of a year Jill would have to re- learn how to walk and talk. I had to feed my wife. It was a very tough time in our lives. All while becoming a family of 3!!!!+
 We had no idea because they could not do any kind of X-rays of her head or any in that matter due to being pregnant. When my wife was in the Hospital that found out the rash she has was Systemic Lupus and has protien S defiency tgat caused the Stroke.The Doctors mis diagnosed her with the pregnancy rash. My wife has really bad Lupus. It is attacking some of her organs.  Three and a half years after 2016 ish Jill was diagnosed with APL leukemia . My poor wife had to do one straight year of chemo  treatment 5 days a week 6 to 8 hours a day! Blood transfusions & platelet transfusions . Jill's first 45 days of chemo were inpatient in isolation due to her white blood cell count being so low which is why APL leukemia is so dangerous.  My wife has a hard time getting out of bed she's lost her hair, she's lost her strength but her beauty and kindness will always be there! Just 8 months ago My wife Jill was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis due to her lupus attacking her liver! Our 6 year old son Carson and I have seen her have to many seizures to count and watching her daily struggle with epilepsy is heartbreaking! Everyday now is just another trip to the hospital and a new diagnosis! Jill's systemic  lupus is just attacking herself and with each new flare it's like another eternal organ is being thrown into the flames! My wife deserves everything and right now it is really tough. I am the husband  Eric Hirsch and I was struck by a car while walking in a parking lot two years ago. I had to have  surgery on my back. I had 3 fusions and a cage put inn. I also had lactinectomy. I have a very hard time walking. I am out of work and I lost a really good job working with the state. I loved my job helping the Mentally challanged. I really feel horrible and I feel like I am letting my Family down especially when my wife is very sick. My wife is always positive. I am trying to raise money for medical needs,medical bills,everyday basic needs. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
