medical expenses

This is our last hope and are not ones to ask for handouts.  It all started going on 4 years ago.  My mom was visiting me when she began to become ill.  She went to the ER on 10/28/2014 when we found out that she had 2 intestinal blockages from scar tissue.  They did surgery and removed the scar tissue from the intestines,  as she was recovering in the hospital from the first surgery she began to become ill again.  They ended up doing another surgery again because the scar tissue had damaged the intestines to the point they where not functioning.  After 29 days in the hospital she was home.  Just to have a down hill slope from there.  After an up and down road for a year, mom ended up with a colostomy in 2015.  Mom started to become very thin, after many trips to her gastro Dr and lots of testing we found out that her body is not absorbing any vitamins, nutrients, or proteins. Her organs where shutting down. Her body was basically starving to death. Next step was to put an IV port in her jugular for TPN.  Which is an IV bag of fluids that had vitamins and nutrients. She would hook the IV bag up for 12 hours a day and she was finally gaining weight.         In 2016/ 2017 back to the hospital, for kidney stones.  2018 she ended up with a blood clot in the jugular due to the port that was put in. 2 weeks later in for Pneumatosis Coli.    That is just a list of some of the things.  My dads health is not the best either as he needs a hip replacement and hiatal  hernia surgery  which is pushing on his lungs and heart.  Making it hard for him to breath.  In order for them to have anymore surgery they need to pay for the anesthesiologist which you can imagine how much that is with everything the past 3.5 years.  So any help would greatly be appreciated.
