Casey's Brain Surgery Fundraiser
Hi, my name is McKinzie Lehr and I am starting this fundraiser for my beautiful friend Casey Adkisson to help assist her with medical bills that insurance doesn't cover and for the time she will be out of work recovering. Casey started having headaches in November of 2020, which consisted of right facial pain, neck pain, ringing of the ear and eye pain. After 8 months of agony she switched doctors, and had an MRI done of her head. The results from the MRI showed a meningioma (tumor) the size of a strawberry. She then saw a neurologist who suggested surgery to remove it. The tumor is in an area where it is sitting on her fifth cranial nerve (sensory nerve) which causes the pain and weird sensations in her face. It also is getting close to her optical nerve as well. Casey is scheduled for Craniotomy (brain surgery) on Septermber 14th, 2021. She will be in the hospital for 2-3 days and will be out of work for 6-8 weeks. Casey has been a close friend of mine for about 6 years now and I am so proud of where she has come in life. Please keep Casey and her family in your prayers- please share this post- and please consider donating to help relieve extra stress off her shoulders!
