Save Renee Doyle

I am not used to any of this so please bear with me, I am going to tell you a little bit about the reason I am doing this. My mother Renee Doyle, whom is only 54, is currently in the ICU in Fresno, CA. She has been in there for 4 weeks now, she has undergone 8 surgeries to her abdomen; she has a trachea in her neck and on a vent for her to breath. She has been in an induced coma for the entire time. She has about 30 lines in her body for various different things including 7 different antibiotics. Her body is so entirely swollen from all of the fluids and infection that has spread through her. 5 weeks ago my mother started to complain that her stomach hurt, she chalked it up to a bladder infection so I went and got her the stuff she needed to get rid of it. Over a course of days the pain had gotten immensely worse, but my mother being the woman that she is kept cleaning, kept helping with my 4 year old daughter, kept doing everything any of us needed without thinking of herself because that’s just the person she is. Finally after she couldn’t get out of bed and was acting delirious we had to literally force her to go to the ER. Needless to say it wasn’t a bladder infection.......Her intestines had split open when the pain first started. Due to waiting her stomach lining ripped open as well so all the stool and bile and poison got into her body and soaked into her blood stream which causes Sepsis. Now please feel free to Google Sepsis, it is EXTREMELY deadly. She was rushed to surgery, I was in Nebraska at the time I received the call. My husband and I turned around instantly. We drove for 27 hours straight after just driving 27 hours there in a snow storm. Let me tell you those were the longest hours of my life, not knowing what was going to happen to my mother. We have been by her bedside every day; she has had a lot of bad days and a few good ones. I just want her to come home, my mother is my best friend and I need her. I haven’t spent a day away from her in 5 years. My four year old daughter Lilly is having the worst time, she slept with her "Ma" every night and they were inseparable. She is the most Amazing grandmother ever. Since my mom has been in the hospital there has not been a day that has went by where Lilly doesn’t grab the picture of her and her Ma by her bed and hold it and just cries. She is peeing the bed every night; she wakes up screaming every couple of nights and still wakes up in the morning trying to find her Ma. I have never had to go through anything like this in my life, to have a Dr. tell you that your best friend has less than a 50% chance of surviving is the most crushing thing I have ever heard. We have God on our side and he is good. We are praying for a miracle, Lord knows we need one. As of yesterday my mother’s fever has left which is the first time in 4 weeks and her vitals are good which is all positive. When God gives my mother back to us she is going to need a lot of therapy. The Dr. stated she is going to need Respiratory therapy, physical therapy and medical equipment. Her insurance does not cover a majority of the equipment and the two places she has an option of going to rehab at are over 4 hours away from us either way. There are facilities here in Fresno but only have openings for cash paying patients. I rarely ask for help and wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t needed, I am trying to raise money to get my mother the help she needs to survive. Whether it is to transfer her to a private hospital to receive better care or fresh eyes or to get her to be able to be here where we are so we can see her and take care of her like she has us for all these years. If I could take her place trust me when I say I would in a heartbeat, she is my world, I can’t lose her not now not like this. I didn’t even get to say I love her or say goodbye. I need her, we need her. She is such a loving, caring amazing woman. She does nothing wrong to anybody but will do anything for anyone. Even in my 30's when am sick she lays there next to me crying asking God to let her take the pain away from me. My heart hurts so bad, it’s hard to get out of bed. I can’t go anywhere because all I do is cry. She has 4 kids and grandkids and a husband who all need her. Our home is so empty without her. As my Lilly says “Mommy our family is so broken without Ma here, why does my heart hurt? I just want to tell her how much I love her mommy. Does she know how much I love her? Mommy she’s going to come home right?" Please I need our help, anything will help please. I am begging you with everything I have for help. Thank you for taking the time, anything will help. Thank you and God Bless!
