LOCAL MOM STRUGGLING IN HOSPITAL AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT!!!
Donation protected
Hi, My fiance Heather is 34 years old and a Taunton Native. She has been fighting KIDNEY disease for over 15 years. In 2017, she received the call she was waiting for after undergoing 2 years of dialysis; they had a donor. So, in September of 2017, she underwent surgery for her kidney transplant, which went extremely well. After that, life was great. She was able to go back to living as normal of a life as she could for her and her young daughter, Kayleigh, which is Heather's life. After 3 years of good health, in early 2020, her kidney disease, which is idiopathic, came back and put her kidney back into rejection, which in turn forced her to go back on dialysis, which literally sucked the life out of her every week.
Up until we got the phone call in the middle of October 2024 saying she needed to get blood work, they had a donor, and it could have been a match. Which was nothing short of a miracle. Within a week of the blood work, Heather had a surgery date, and she was getting a kidney transplant on November 13th. The transplant went well with some post-op complications, but now, on December 5th, they still can't find a resolution to the on going problems.
Update : Heather is on oxygen due to a low oxygen level.She also has some internal bleeding going on and they can not find why or were this is coming from. Every one please keep her in your prayers!!!! 12/07/24
I'm asking for help to take the financial stress off of Heather and her family during this difficult time!! Thank you all!!
