Mobility Scooter for Bobbi
Donation protected
Hi my name is Kelli and I'm creating this Go fund me on behalf of my sister.
For those of you who have been following her story it's no surprise that she's going to have a long journey to recovery and so we're looking to make that transition home for her a little easier by helping give her back some of her freedom and get her a mobility scooter.
For those of you seeing this for the first time, my sister has stage 4 kidney disease and has been hospitalized since March. On April 4th they let her go home saying she had gotten better and was on the road to recovery. On April 6th she was admitted into hospital again with pneumonia. During this time the focus was on her breathing and pneumonia and her kidneys got worse and worse. On April 17th we started blood transfusions and they weren't helping. On April 20th she started her first round of dialysis. On April 21st during her second round of dialysis she coded and died for the first time, she was down 10 minutes before they got her back and she was immediately moved to the ICU wing and placed on life support. She was Heavily sedated for 8 days. On April 29th we were able to lift the sedation and extubate her. On April 30th she died for the second time, this time she was only down 3 minutes before they got her back. Since then it has been a series of highs and lows. They have been weening her off the ventilator but again on May 30th they had to call another code because she started to desaturate again and they were afraid given her history she was going to die for a third time! She has had procedures after procedures, died twice, CT scans, xrays, and every day she fights more and more.
I am looking for any help you can give us to make her transition back home a better one. Even if it's 5$ or just a share to raise awareness and help. Everything counts.
From the bottom of our hearts my family thanks you for all your love and support during this difficult time.
