Funeral expenses for morgan
Donation protected
Hi everyone reading, this is Morgan who’s like a sister to me.
Morgan is from Idaho Falls and has been trying to figure out her stomach pain. They did a colonoscopy and another scope. Found that her gallbladder is full of stones. The doctor had her come in on Oct.24th to be monitored till surgery on Oct. 26th but on Oct 25th all her organs started failing. They did emergency surgery and found that her stomach was filled with fluid as well as stones blocking the pancreas and some in the digestive track. They had to fix all that and make sure her organs were functioning before removing the gallbladder. They left her open so they could remove the gallbladder on Oct.29th. She’s still left open for them to pull fluids and her pancreas has infections. During this time she's been in a medicated coma and still was until Nov.7th. During this time, she has had a high fever and got pneumonia. They’ve done blood transfusions and still weren’t able to get her on a good path. they decided she would be better in Utah and flu her down to Murry Late on Nov.2nd. Once at Murry they tried to get her sedation and medians to the right spot. They found blood clots, so they gave her blood thinners. Nov.7th They were able to close her up with a mesh and later start weaning her of the sedation since Oct.24th she has been on a ventilator, and it had to be removed on Nov.8th or a trach would need to be put in. They removed it and put high flow oxygen in the nose. They have physical therapy coming in daily to work on her hands, arms, legs, feet, and try to sit up. Her left side seems good but not so much on her right side. They are worried about drop foot and are doing a scan on the chest for blood clots and a scan on the head for any brain bleeds.
She is still very out of it and has a long way to go and could us the support. I will update when I have more, Thanks
Update: She's doing alright still at the hospital in Utah she has a hard time talking there going to do a scope to see if there any scar tissue but not sure when there doing that because she still has high flow oxygen in the nose as well as the feeding tube . So part of her stomach lining is closed but closer to the top is open so they have a spung in there that they have to clean every few days. Her stomach has to heal from the inside out. Physical therapy did get her to stand for 20 seconds yesterday so that's good . She loves ice chips but do to the high flow she can't have that many so she gets one every hour. She doesn't sleep much do to anxiety so thats one of the hard parts were trying to get her on a sleep schedule so she nows that she needs to sleep during the night or when she feels tired. She's so worried about what going on aroumd her or if mom isn't there, also she has bed sores. It's a vary slow process but will get there.
Update Nov.20th : still in ICU at Murry. She really wants to get out. She's still has high flow oxygen and bi pap at night her oxygen has gone down a few time last week and she still has fluid in the lungs. Big parts are trying to get the incisions to heal and get fluid out of the lungs as well as keep them from collapsing and working on her strength.shes stood up a few times and sat in a chair but it takes a lot out of her to do that.
Jan.14 Update : after along battle in the hospital Morgan's body could no longer fight of the infection and she passed away today . If you could spare something for funeral expenses that would help alot .
