Help Naomi with medical bills

Donation protected
Most know our sister, Naomi, has been really sick since hospitalized in April for 2 months and 4 days. After being released, she waited 3 weeks at home on liquid IV nutrients to be scheduled at Mayo in Florida, she started to lose a lot of muscle and kept falling into respatory failure. Hospitalized at Mayo for a week she got stronger and was able to eat food for about a week while out of the hospital. Naomi had more tests done with barium and that halted the bowel progress she was feeling. She stopped eating again severe pains, they finally put the feeding tube in after 3 weeks of no nutrients. She was having severe weakness and difficulty breathing do to lack of protein nutrients. After the surgery for the GJ tube her body couldn't recover she went it respatory failure 911 called and was admitted into the hospital. She has had a horrible time breathing and she physically cannot sit, stand or do anything on her own that requires strength afterwards. They decided it best she be intubated so they did an tracheotomy on her and put her on a ventilator. They are going to give her nutrients through an IV starting tonight to try to get her strength back up. Naomi is about 80 lbs now and in extreme pain all the time but because of her Auto Immune disease and her condition they can't give her anything but Tylenol..
