Christy Muir had a sudden seizure on Sept. 30th, 2024, and was immediately taken to the hospital in Durango, Colorado. Two masses on both sides of her brain were discovered. She was then flown to the hospital in Colorado Springs for further evaluation. She is now at Barrow Neurological Institute in Scottsdale, AZ, where the top neurological surgeons in the world will take good care of her. On October 10th, Christy will undergo brain surgery. There is a portion of the tumor that is inoperable, but the surgeon feels confident that it’s treatable. The surgery will take 4-6 hours and then she will move to ICU to recover for a few days. She will have rehab following that. Her doctor gave her a wonderful prognosis. He expects a full recovery for her to be able to live a long and normal healthy life!

Christy is a very healthy person and there were absolutely no warning signs that she had a tumor growing in her brain. Christy is an energetic and well-loved middle school teacher. She has been married for 17 years to Mikey, the fire captain in rural Bayfield, Colorado. Mikey also works as a contractor, as he is a wonderful craftsman. They have two amazing children, Lily, (high school) and Malcolm (middle school). Malcolm and Lily are the kindest kids you'll ever meet. They are both highly motivated in academics, sports, and music. They also have 3 great dogs. One of them, "Otis", is even the school mascot! This family is truly amazing, and contributes a ton to the community.

We are setting up this Go Fund Me to ask for support with medical expenses, travel expenses, and funds for lost work. Please help contribute! Every little bit counts! Please keep her in your prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

A little about me (because this is Go Fund Me's policy):

My name is Jean Prominski. I absolutely adore Christy and her family! I offered to set this up on behalf of the Muir family. My partner is Charlie "Chuck" Muir. Chuck is Mikey's older brother. Christy is Chuck's sister-in-law. Chuck and Christy have been friends for over 30 years. We moved down to the southwest so we could spend more time with Christy, Mikey, and the kids, along with the rest of Chuck's family. The funds are going directly to Christy and Mikey.
