Support Nicole Williams' Medical Journey

Our dear family friend, Nicole Williams has been hospitalized since Monday, March 24th. Nicole was with her mom, best friend and 2-month old daughter, Tallulah on a girls trip to neighboring Indiana. Nicole suddenly fell ill and in a great deal of pain. The hospital she was in initially wasnt equipped to deal with Nicole's medical issues. She was then transported to Indiana University Hospital, which is 4 1/2 hours from their home. She has Pancreatitus, gall stone lodged in her bile duct, bad gall bladder. Everything was backing up from the blocked duct. Her insides are "a mess." She's had one procedure to remove the blockage (thru the throat) and now they have to wait until she's strong enough to have surgery to take out the gall bladder. She is on a feeding tube. Lots of things have gotten messed up because of the initial episode so all has to calm down before they can do the surgery.

Gall bladder being bad has caused acute pancreatic necrosis. She is with some of the best GI Doctors there are. She's NOT getting her gall bladder out for at least 4-6 weeks. Too much inflammation in her pancreas to get around in there or possibly do damage to something else. The doctor says she is in a baseball game, the first inning! Inning 3 she can probably go home and in Inning 7 she can have the surgery. Long, long game! She misses her family. Her daughter turned 2 months old while she has been in the hospital. Nicole was due to return to work from maternity leave on April 8th. They will need this for any possible expenses and care while the entire family cares for Tallulah.

Please please keep saying prayers for them.

Anything to help them would be greatly appreciated.
