I am creating a gofundme account for my sister, her husband and their 2 small children to help them with the costs of all medical bills including flight for life and also rent and all living costs as work is being missed to not leave her side through this very tragic time.
Teilor (my sister) was found unresponsive by Derrek (her husband) on the morning of December 31, 2016. She was rushed to the ER where they put her to sleep and put her on a respirator with 100% oxygen... a machine was breathing for her.
She kept going into cardiac arrest.... so they transported her by flight for life to a hospital more equipped for her needs. There doctors found that her heart was weak. By weak I mean she has a lethal heart condition known as "Torsades de pointes".
Torsades de pointes is a distinctive polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in which the QRS amplitude varies and the QRS complexes appear to twist around the baseline. Torsades de pointes is associated with a prolonged QT interval, which may be congenital or acquired.
Torsades de pointes is usually not sustained and terminates spontaneously but frequently recurs unless the underlying cause is corrected. Torsades de pointes may degenerate into sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Torsades is a life-threatening arrhythmia and may present as sudden cardiac death in patients with structurally normal hearts.
As of now we don't have any affirmative that her heart will heal or get any stronger from this or what the next steps will be.
Prayers are welcomed and appreciated. Please keep my sister and her family in your thoughts. We please ask for any help, in any form!
