Support for Amber and Her Family
Donation protected
Hi everyone. On July 4th, Amber was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. This is a very serious condition which can effect many other organs. Her organs are in failure and she has developed fluid in her lungs. Amber was taken to the Progressive Care Unit, and on July 10th, she went into septic shock. She is now having to power through sepsis while being on life support. She is receiving fluids through her feeding tube, and has been getting increasingly more anxious. Thankfully, Amber is not going backward in progress, but we need for her to push forward. On July 15th, Amber went into emergency surgery to drain fluid from her abdomen which would also take pressure off of her heart. She was then airlifted to Mass General Hospital in Boston. She will be having another emergency surgery today, July 16th to drain more fluid from her abdomen. As you can all imagine, this is a very hard time for Amber and her family. Prayers, good energy, and positive thoughts are welcomed and encouraged.
My family and I wanted to create a go fund me to help cover the costs of medical expenses, hotel stays, flights, rental cars, etc. while Amber remains hospitalized. Amber is in great hands and we want to ensure her family can have one less thing to worry about. Please respect their wishes and give them some space as they are likely overwhelmed by this entire situation. For updates, we ask you to refer to Karen Whisperer’s Facebook. Thank you all!
