Brandi Capadagli's Healing Heart

Donation protected
Brandi had not been feeling well and luckily one of her friends (Brittany) had stopped by to see her. Brandi had complained about a sharp pain she had been feeling in her back and going up her neck. Soon her vision became unclear alarming them and making the situation become much more then what Brandi had been thinking had been pains from a previous accident. Upon arrival at the Port Huron hospital they had realized that a valve in her heart had became so weak that the walls tore. The hospital then decided she would be flown to the university of michigan. Upon arrival at U of M they immediately put her into open heart surgery to try and repair the torn valve. For the surgery they had to go directly through her sternum and had lasted for 6 hours. After the surgery had been completed, she seemed to have taken it well. Unfortunately more complications had been found in a lower valve of her heart which had also torn not letting blood circulate through to the lower left portion of her body/left leg. They then had to go in for a second surgery going through the pelvic area to repair the torn valve in the lower part of her heart. This surgery had not taken as long but seems as though had taken the hardest toll on her. 
Her heart has withstood the two torn valves but reportedly just couldn't pump her blood through her whole body. Since the surgeries Brandi has been in an induced comatose state to try and help her heal. They have diagnosed her with having ascending aoetoc dissection.

Brandi's children Dominick and Alisea have been being cared for by their Father, Tim Hering as well as Brandi's parents, Joy and Dave Curry. Dominick and Alisea are aware their mother, Brandi, had gone to the hospital for she had not been feeling well, they are not aware completely of the extent of her health and what she has been going through. 
Even though time has somewhat stopped for Brandi, unfortunately Bill's and health costs have not. 
At this moment Brandi is not aware of her own health state nor is she aware of how long she has already been away from her children, family and friends. If she continues through this journey the doctors and nurses state she will still be in the hospital for months in order to heal and recover. At this point we have already had the call 4 times with U of M stating that she may not make it through the night. But Brandi prevails. 
This go fund me account is in support of Brandi and her two beautiful strong children as well as her health, home and medical expenses. 
All the love and prayers are needed to be sent her way right now.
