McKenzie’s Mycobacterium Abscessus Treatment

Back in November my sister, McKenzie Amrein, had a surgery to remove a tumor from her neck inside her parotid gland. At about 2-3 weeks post-op she contracted a bad infection called Mycobacterium abscessus and has been battling it ever since. It’s a very uncommon (only 4 people known in Oklahoma to have ever got this) and unique type of bacteria that you DO NOT want! The trouble with this bacteria is it’s famous for being drug resistant and requires lots of very expensive and dangerous IV and antibiotic treatment…Thus the $12,000 price tag She will have to travel to either east Texas or Colorado for one of the treatments, and then weekly blood testing the entire 4-6 month treatment. I’m debating just selling my car which has about a $12k price tag, if I’m not able to raise what she needs. As a sister it’s so hard watching your sibling go through something like this while still her and her husband holding together her family of an 8 and 2 year old through this. I want to do everything I can for her because I know she’d do that same for me.
