Michelle Patton Medical Fund

Donation protected
This is a little about our daughter Michelle Patton and son in law Ryan D Patton and the struggles they're going through right now. I'm asking each of you to read and pray about this. Im going to set up a "go fund me" page, but for the time being, I'm going to do it through PayPal. No amount is to small as every little bit will help.
Thanks you for taking the time to lift them in prayer.

Michelle Patton is a wife and stay at home mother to her 3 young children. Her 2 oldest children are very active in sports and her youngest daughter has special needs (Autism, Epilepsy, CVI, moderate mental retardation) which makes it difficult for her to work outside the home. They rely sole on her husband Ryan Patton's income. Over the past few years Michelle has been dealing with severe back pain. Last June she could no longer put it off and decided to get it looked at. After having an MRI, it was found that she had a disc protrusion of 12mm x 7mm at the L5-S1 level. One week later she was taken in for Discectomy surgery to have that disc removed. After 6 weeks if healing and not getting any better, another MRI was then done. That MRI showed another disc was now protruding 5mm at the L4-L5 level. After finding this out it was recommended by her neurosurgeon that another Surgery, a Spinal Fusion be done. This surgery would include a mesh put into her spine and reinforced with metal rods which is a major surgery and requires a hospital stay. Having 3 children to tend to at home, she opted to have injections at the National Spine and Pain Center as an alternative. After 3 injections in only 3 months with no success of pain relief, it was determined surgery is now her only option at this point. The out of pocket costs from all the tests, MRI's, Surgery 1 and now Surgery 2 in only a short 4 month time period, is becoming an extreme burden on this family. Michelle and Ryan put so much of their own time, effort and what little they have into helping their community, I am hoping the community can help them now in their time of need. Her surgery is scheduled for November 7 and they are going to need all the help they can get! I'm praying we can come together to not only help monetarily to offset costs, but in prayer as well. For our God is the almighty healer! Thank you for reading and I pray that you will be moved to help this family!
God Bless and thank you.
