For Jordan and Mom

Hi my name is Alicia, my sister Jordan is a surviving twin, born with CP. She is wheelchair bound and has been her whole life. Jordan has struggled with many different lung issues throughout her life. She will be 21 in January. Jordan has been in the ICU and on a ventilator since 11/8 fighting a bacterial lung infection. She was sedated for several days, they tried to remove the breathing it tube but her lungs and body are just not strong enough. Jordan is currently awake, stressed and exhausted. She agreed to have an traquea placed as the dr’s advised that they cannot keep the breathing tube in due to it causing more damage at this time. If they are unable to ween her off of the breathing ventilator, then they briefly discussed the need to transfer her to Boston where they are more capable of long term weening. We are praying this is not an option that we have to discuss further. Our mother Julie is and has been Jordan’s care giver for the majority of Jordan’s life. Usually working two jobs; her out of the home job as an LPN, and her in home job as Jordan’s care giver. Our mom is and has been unable to work while Jordan has been in the hospital. She has been commuting back and forth between her home and the hospital daily to be with Jordan and be at home to care for Jordan’s dog as well as her own personal needs. The last thing I want my mom to have to worry about during this stressful time is her electricity, rent, fuel, groceries, gas, etc. Her focus needs to be with my sister so that she can make the best and most informed decisions with and for Jordan, so that we can have them both home for the holidays. Please help by taking a minute to donate what you can, share this fundraiser, and keep my sister & mom in your prayers.

Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart,

Alicia
