Lisa Lund Stoddard Surgery
Donation protected
Update!!: the hospital finally told us how much it’s going to cost just for the operating room and the required stay after the surgery and it’s way more than we were expecting.
Please help!! My mom is a wife and mother to four beautiful children ages 20-4. Lisa Lund Stoddard is facing a terrifying double surgery next week. Her six vertebrae in her neck are so damaged she faces permanent paralysis if this is not taken care of immediately. She is a stay at home working mother and my dad is self employed.
Due to prevailing national health circumstances, Mom traveled with all us kids from Mississippi to visit our ailing family in Utah. After arriving at her mothers house she was in so much pain she could hardly move. An MRI indicated six herniated discs in her neck that need urgent attention. Two of those discs are protruding into her spinal chord, where there is more disc, than chord.
The first surgery, will be through the front of her neck, where her vocal chords and the ability to swallow, will be compromised. Then, they will flip her over and the other surgery will go through her back. They will have to move muscles and fascia. *In order to save money, the doctor has agreed to do both surgeries the same day! This is going to be so painful!
Our family was able to use our meager life savings and pay the 1/3rd deposit to the neurosurgeon of over $5,000. The hospital bills will be intense. Short of selling all we have, there is no money available, to pay for the upcoming surgery. We need help.
All funds donated will go to pay for medical bills, therapy and a plane ticket to go back home to Mississippi, when she is well enough.
She needs help y'all. And mom is not one to ask for help. I know these two surgeries are scary for her, but worse are the medical bills. She feels that she should not have the surgery because of the burden it will be on our family, but one bump and she could be a quadriplegic. We need her. Please help.
