Help Vickie get back on her feet
Donation protected
Hi everyone, I'm fundraising for Vickie Heginbotham because she needs our help.
She did take the vaccine and has also had covid twice. They are testing her blood to see if that might be the reason so many blood clots are forming so rapidly.
Vickie has been in and out of the hospital last year and this year for blood clots. She has had numerous surgeries for blood clots and at times while in recovery another one is forming and she's back in for emergency surgery.
Last year she had run out of her sick time and short term disability and went without income for several months. This year in January she was able to come back but it was very brief ( less than 4 weeks ) due to blood clots forming yet again continuously. This year alone she has had 8 surgeries.
This week, after almost 3 weeks in ICU, she was discharged from the hospital with home health care 3 times a week and in a wheelchair. Getting into her house she is forced to use a walker, with a vehicle driven by anyone available and getting her as close as possible to the front door, since there is no ramp. Her son picks her up for the steps and carries her.
Since her last surgery, they weren't able to close her wound from the fasciotomy which carries its own risks and complications, including wound infection and osteomyelitis, to name a few. They opted for a wound vac because their was too much swelling and pressure. They couldn't stitch her leg closed.
Nobody should ever be alone, especially when it seems it's too much to bear.
Together, we can help Vickie overcome this very difficult chapter and reassure her that she is not alone in the endeavor. Together we can help Vickie with her medical expenses and any other bills she has and prayerfully with enough funds, a ramp for easier access into her home.
If you have anything to give, please give. If you can share this, please share and above all else, please pray for Vickie. She has a long and very difficult recovery ahead of her.
