Sherry Land Busha's funeral expenses 






We are raising money to help pay for my Mothers funeral cost and her headstone. So I feel like I should tell you a little bit about her. Sherry suffered from juvenile diabetes all her life. Almost 9 months ago she went to bed only to wake up unable to move. She had become a paraplegic over night. No matter the hospital or doctor the answer was the same, they simply didn't know why. Even though the diagnosis was grim her hopes were just to be able to use her hands. You see Sherry started and owned her own grooming and boarding business years ago. She loved animals and their humans as she would say. Just to be able to pet her animals would have made everything a little bit better. But God had other plans. Sherry soon went back into the hospital (one of many stays)with a UTI infection that had turned septic. After about a week she was sent home by ambulance, only to be rushed back. They found blood clots in her arms. Another week passed and she was home again. With the hope of dissolving the clots. A few days passed and her blood sugar levels were out of control. My Dad her primary caregiver tried for days to get it under control with no avail. So the decision was made to call an ambulance. Sherry was rushed to nearby Greenville Hospital where she received  emergency surgery. She had been having a heart attack but being paralyzed she didn't feel it. They cathed her heart and put in a stint. She still had several more blockages but, her blood pressure and sugar just wouldn't stabilize. They hoped that after the surgery that in time her levels would pan out and they would be able to perform the necessary surgerys. Sherry' s bottom part of her heart was only functioning at 5%. She was told that she would possibly have to go on a ventilator. This was something that she had thought about and was against. For days she sat until finally after being on 8 to10 or more medications she made the decision to come off of them. She spoke with the doctors. Then with our Family she explained that she couldn't feel much but ,what she felt was nothing but pain. So on March 4th, My Sister and I made the trip to the hospital one last time. Sherry passed away at 5 pm that day surrounded by her loved ones. Sherry was 44 years old. She was a Mother to 2 Daughters and a Grandmother to 4 Grandchildren.

Anything is greatly appreciated.
