Donation protected
Rhonda was involved in a terrible car accident Friday night. She sustained multiple breaks to her neck, and a broken vertebrae that leaves her spinal cord at risk. She has many months of surgeries and recovery ahead of her. Hoping to help cover costs so she can focus on healing.
This morning she's in surgery for the vertebrae injury .
her surgery yesterday was successful and the doctors say there were no issues!
Dec 6th update from Jackie:
Well, the best laid plans often go astray and so it is with Rhonda. They came in today and did a CT scan and decided that surgery on her neck would be the best plan. SO tomorrow she will have surgery to fuse C1 and C2 onto C3. So she is still in CCU for a few more days. Although there are risks involved in any surgery, they think this should go smoothly and be a shorter surgery than the first one. I sure hope so since her face was so swollen before that she couldn't see. Laying face downward for several hours tends to do that. So once again keep her in your prayers for another surgery.
Update Dec 11th
Final surgery went well! Lots of therapy going on now
Rhonda is home, working on recovery!!! Lots of therapy ahead, and still in a neck collar
