Medical Expenses for Gina Shields

Donation protected
Our mother Gina Steven’s (Shields) suffered a severe stroke on June 10, 2022 around 2:00 am. She was rushed to Baylor Scott & White in Rowlett where they confirmed she had a stroke and care flighted her to Baylor Scott & White in Plano. Mom has a blood clot on the left side of her brain and a blood clot in her carotid artery in her neck. Due to the complicated nature of where the clots are, the doctors cannot remove them. This would be extremely dangerous so they have placed her on blood thinners and are hoping in time they could dissolve. She cannot speak correctly and it’s mostly mumbling. Her memory is in and out but becomes every agitated so they have to keep her sedated a lot of the time. We appreciate everyone praying for her and hope you please continue to pray for her to make it out of this and for our family. If she can recover this will be a long process and once released from the hospital she will have to live at a in patient rehab for awhile to learn to speak again and work on different motor skills. Moms insurance will not fully cover this and the medical expenses are already starting to pile up. My mother still has her apartment and her bills that will not stop as my brother and our family try to help as much as we can with everything. I booked a plane ticket from my home in Washington State and came here so I can do whatever my momma needs. If anyone knows her knows that she would give the shirt off her back everyday 24 hours a day to anyone. If we could all pull together and help her this would make me happy and help the stress of this whole nightmare situation for my momma. Thank you everyone and we will post updates every few days.

We love you mom!
