Support Tessa's Road to Recovery

Hello My name is Tessa Darley.

Over the past few weeks my life has flipped upside down. I have spent a majority of my time in hospitals. On May 17th I was taken to the Emergency room l because I could not stop throwing up and became severely dehydrated and had dangerously low levels of potassium. From there I was admitted to the first hospital where I stayed for 6 days and they ran many different tests but they could not find what was wrong with me.

On May 23rd I was then transferred to yet another hospital where hopefully the specialist there would be able to determine what was happening. Again many more tests were being run to determine what was going on. After the specialist ran tests on me they determined on May 28th I would require surgery to fix this issue. From there I had surgery where they placed a 6-in metal tube in my stomach. Due to the nature of the surgery, I would also require a feeding tube known as TPN (total parenteral nutrition) to be placed. Finally, on May 31st I was discharged and sent home with the feeding tube (TPN).

Currently I'm at home recovering and I will have the feeding tube in place for 7 weeks. After the 7 weeks are up I will be returning to the hospital where I will undergo yet another surgery to have the metal tube removed and the feeding tube removed. While all of this is going on I am also out of work and will be for at least the next few months. I'm currently struggling to pay my bills with medical bills piling on top. Any donation is greatly appreciated and if you can't donate please share my story and pray that I will have a speedy recovery.

Much Love,

Tessa Darley
