I will beat this. My Son Needs Me
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Temeka. A single Mom to an amazing little son who's 4 years old. I wasn't feeling well thinking I had a stomach bug. I got scared and I started throwing up blood and blood clots were coming out. So I decided to go to the ER. When I got here they did test and told me it's looking like pancreatitis. It can be treated and I should be able to go home. Well that was just one part to the puzzle I was not expecting but easy enough to hear. While in the hospital's ER they did blood work and said that my numbers were very far off from being normal. My Red blood count had dropped low as well as my Platelets and my white blood count as well. My kidney levels were increasing and edema is present. I am looking like a puffer fish swollen with fluid. Not knowing the news I was about to hear would change my whole world upside down I just thought okay, This would be a quick fix. I was wrong. The hospital admitting me happened very quickly and I've been here ever since it's been 2 weeks now. I was told I'm going through Congested Heart Failure, Kidney Failure, and to add the icing on the cake a rear form of idiopathic blood disorder that only 14 other people in the state of GA has been diagnosed with. My whole world is taking care of my son enjoying life with him and Just being a mom. With this diagnosis I now have to do Dialysis, Chemo and Plasma Pherisis a couple times a week. I had to let my job go because they couldn't support my time off I would need to take care of these issues I now have to face as my reality. With life still going on sick or not I'm still responsible for taking care of my son. I need to try and focus on getting better so that I can try and get back to my normal simple life raising my 4 year old. I need help with all that comes worh this which as affording all these medications and for all the unexpected medical bills and expenses that I am facing. My savings is not enough to try and maintain a downside life style while going through all of this even though I will try and stretch each penny as far as I can. I have applied for disability but as we all know that's is no easy 123 it takes 6 months - 3 years for an approval. I'm just trying to fight hard to beat this diagnosis but with all the extra added stress it doesn't make it easier. I just want to be a mom to my son. Love on him and be here for his first day of school. His first dance recital, first sports game, first crush. First bit of peach fuzz on his face... See him in the morning and kiss him goodnight. I'm asking for any bit of help from my friends family and secret Angel's. Please... Thank you and God Bless.
