On Monday, February 18th, Andrea Morrione-Canning was admitted to the hospital for an undiagnosed brain condition.  An MRI confirmed abnormalities on her brain. She underwent emergency surgery on February 20th to biopsy what doctors’ believed to be three individual masses but this was not the case. The surgeon discovered that the swelling and pressure on Andrea’s brain is being caused by a “web” of lesions. Tissue samples were sent to pathology but all of testing to date has come back negative and inconclusive of a diagnosis. Andrea is receiving antibiotics as well as steroids to reduce the swelling and pressure on her brain. As a result of Andrea’s condition, she is experiencing memory loss, confusion, and the inability to function independently.

Andrea currently remains in ICU and will require inpatient rehabilitation for an undisclosed amount of time. Hospital bills are increasing rapidly and soon rehabilitation costs will pile on as well.  In addition, a week prior to Andrea’s hospitalization, she started a new job, thus resulting in the termination of her family’s health insurance on February 28th.  Andrea’s husband, Tom, must now take on the cost of a much higher COBRA Health Plan premium for their family, in addition to losing Andrea’s monthly income and the growing medical expenses. 

Friends and family have been asking what they can do to help, so we have set up this fundraising page to help support Andrea, Tom and their two beautiful daughters, Ashley and Sarah.  We are extremely grateful for your generosity and sincerely appreciate any amount that you are able to donate. 

Please keep the prayers coming!
