Yvette's brain surgery from a ruptured aneurysm

Hello, my name is Mayen and I am the eldest sister of Yvette . Yesterday , she suddenly complained of a massive headache and started throwing up uncontrollably. She was with our other sister , Lally , who was all too familiar with the symptoms, as she had a ruptured aneurysm about 5 years ago. She rushed Yvette to the ER and because of our family history , they did a CT scan on her . The initial findings showed a subarachnoid hemorrage and needed further evaluation .

She was transferred to Cardinal Santos Medical Center , where the doctor who treated Lally before , practices. During this time she has been asleep and would occasionally mumble and open her eyes .

She underwent another CT scan this time with angiography , and they recommended that she would be getting a coil to stop and secure the ruptured aneurysm .

We were told the procedure is quite expensive , starting at $16000 just for the procedure alone . They asked for a $1000 deposit to get the procedure done and we immediately said yes to get Yvette 's brain bleed stopped and secured. We havent gathered the funds yet for the rest of the cost but we gave the go signal for the earliest surgery possible , because every second was precious . We estimated that her total hospitalization might be twice this amount . However we have faith that everything will fall into place. We need her to be well FIRST.

Thankfully they got her in the operating room at 3pm and got out three hours after -- the operation was successful , the neurosurgeon said ! We are all grateful for this development .

She was taken to the ICU after her procedure , she will be there for another two weeks for recovery .

We were told that she had substantial bleeding in her brain . The body will eventually take care of the blood left , but that will also take time. She may still experience symptoms, headaches, dizziness and disorientation. We hope she doesn't develop siezures. We pray that her recovery will be complete and the happy, quirky BTS-loving Yvette we know will be back in no time .

Yvette is a much loved teacher ! She has been teaching for the past two decades now . She currently works at Xavier School and previously worked at Colegio San Agustin and has touched many teachers' and students' lives .I pray that she will recover fully and continue living her life as she touches so many others along the way .

Thank you for your consideration and willingness to help my sister in her medical emergency situation. We appreciate every ounce of help.. it will all go towards her medical bills.

Thank you from our whole family .
