On Friday 3/17/17 Elisa started feeling sick, tired, pained, and worn out. She took this as just being tired from making a St. Patrick's Day feast for the whole family, and went to bed early. Saturday she continued to feel drained and rested most of the day but by the evening her pain and increased a lot. Her insurance is messed up at the moment (who's isn't!) so she didn't want to rush to the hospital and get buried in bills. However, on Sunday morning she woke up with pain and difficultly breathing and realized this needed to be addressed. As her husband, Matt, drove her to the hospital, the pain continued to get worse with each breath making her think it was a collapsed lung.
Unfortunately, it was worse.
They discovered it was a Pulmonary Embolism in both lungs. It is so severe in the left lung that it blocked flow from the valves and caused a Pulmonary Infarction, killing the bottom portion of her lung. This continued to lead to severe complications due to her pre-existing Kidney Disease. Doctors cannot treat the clots or damage lungs they way they would with other patience without causing total kidney failure. The combined complications are leaving her in excruciating pain. Her lungs are filling with fluid and need to be drained, an infection is present and her immune system isn't strong enough to fight it alone, and her veins keep blowing. And she is still going to be in there for awhile. Every extra test is another bill, every specialist follow up is another bill, added on to an already overburdened pile of medical debt.
We are hoping to raise enough to to assist in covering her mounting medical bills and take even one worry off her plate.
Elisa is ALWAYS there for us, in every facet. She's the one you call when things are going wrong and you need to cry or scream. She's the one you want to share your excitement with. She's Doctor Mom when you're sick and want answers. She is everyones best friend. She's a giver, not a taker, and she's too damn humble to ask for this kind of help.
So many of us are wondering what we can do and wishing we could help...let's start here!!! Let's rally together and hold her up and try to take away a glimpse of her worries!
