Help Emily with medical expenses and monthly bills
Hi my name is Jenny and I am one of Emily’s daughters. We recently found out that my mom will need open heart surgery. She went in for routine preop testing and found out she had an abnormal EKG showing a heart attack. She was then schedule for a stress test, but had a fall down her steps at home and broke her ankle. She had to wait 6 weeks to have the stress test which then showed that she needed a heart cath to see the extend of the heart damage. During the cath they saw that she had 100% occluded arteries in 3 of the main vessels. They said that they didn’t know how she was even still alive (very scary). Because of the strong person that we all know that she is her body made it’s own collateral circulation, blood vessels that form when your arteries are clogged to supply your body with the blood that it needs. She will be seeing the cardiothoracic surgeon today to schedule a surgery date within the next week. At 71 my mom had worked 2 to 3 jobs most of her life. Unfortunately as a bartender she doesn’t have paid time off and at her age she cannot apply for disability. I am asking for any help to help her not have to stress over her bills while she heals. She is the most giving person I have ever met! She had so many people that love her and want her to get better and back to her spunky self! I will be updating as anything changes. I appreciate anyone that is able to donate. Prayers will also be appreciated!! Thank you!
