Help Save Tia Bourg's Life
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Kalina Bourg, and my mother is Tia Bourg. My mom is the most kind-hearted, loving, and authentic person I have had the pleasure to get to know. Tia Bourg makes the world a better place just by being in it. Both the Bourg & the Brummett families are beyond devastated by the news that my mother is in liver failure. My mother desperately needs a liver transplant if she is going to survive, and it has left us in an unthinkably overwhelming financial situation. Because of my mother's severe liver failure she has not been able to work and because I help take care of her pretty much 24/7, I'm not able to work either. To get my mom to her goal of getting on the liver transplant list, we are in desperate need of some financial assistance. My mother just recently returned home from the hospital with this devastating news and her #1 priority needs to be fighting to stay alive, one day at a time. The very last thing that my mother needs to be worrying about during the fight of her life, is finances. The only thing that my mother needs to worry about while she's waiting to get a liver transplant is staying positive & staying alive! Please, either donate whatever you can, & if you cannot afford to donate anything, then please help Tia by sharing this post with your friends & your family. Oh & of course, please keep my mother in your thoughts & prayers. Anything at all helps! If you are not able to donate anything then please send some positivity my mom's way, she truly deserves it! Let's make sure that Tia has nothing to stress about during this trying time. Thank you!!!
Monday, June 29th- Tia checked in to Mission Hospital- Laguna Beach, for the first time, after experiencing severe abdomen pain for several days
Friday, July 3rd- Tia found out the reason she had been experiencing horrible stomach pain was because she is in liver failure
Sunday, July 5th- Tia was sent home with instructions from her doctor to do home hospice, but when hospice came they told Tia she was not qualified because she is not done fighting yet. We were informed that hospice is only for people who are 100% done fighting and just want help staying as comfortable as possible as they live out their final days. Therefore hospice advised Tia to try Home Health Care/ Palliative Care
Monday, July 13th- Tia continuously said that she felt as if she wasn't able to get enough oxygen, so I drove her back to Mission Hospital- Laguna Beach, and 10 minutes after I dropped my mom back off at the emergency room they called to tell us that my mother had just experienced a seizure, and her seizure ended up being caused by a lack of sodium. After my mom had the seizure she ended up on a ventilator, in the ICU, & we were told that my wonderful mother may not ever be able to breathe on her own again
Monday, July 20th- One week later & Tia was taken off the ventilator, and she was breathing on her own again, & she was eating & drinking on her own again, and today her nurse said that Tia will likely be released from the ICU any day now, and they also said that at this rate Tia should be home within another week! Absolutely mind-blowing just how much can change/improve in one week!
Monday, July 27th- Exactly two weeks after going into the hospital Tia was discharged and finally was able to go home and be with her family while awaiting a liver transplant
