Help Me Help My Mom
Donation protected
For those of you who know me, you know how close I am to my mother. You know the love I have for her.
She has always been an active person full of life, from raising Huskies to zip lining across a forest and going sledding in Alaska.
Most of all, she loves her three daughters and her grandson fiercely and has always, without fail, been there for them.
This Thursday, she suffered from a severe stroke that has effected her speech and left her no mobility on her right side. The doctors are hopeful for a 70-80% recovery with intense rehab, but she needs her family around her.
A few months ago, she moved to Las Vegas where she has no family and due to insurance issues she cannot be transfered right now. I will have to travel back and forth on a regular basis, taking turns with my sisters, to assist my mother, be strong and just be present for her.
If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here we are over a month later and my mom is working really hard to get better. Her arm is still not moving and she still cannot walk or do the most basic things by herself. Her spirits are down but she is a fighter and we are doing all we can to remind her what she is fighting for.
It's going to be a long road of physical, occupational and speech therapy, frustration, tears and remembering to take it one day at a time. My sisters, Aaron and I are going to be with her, no matter what, every step of the way.
Thank you for your help in making it possible.
