Giselle’s Battle Against Moyamoya
Donation protected
On July 11th Giselle was diagnosed with Moyamoya Disease. Moyamoya is a rare and progressive cerebrovascular disease that narrows the arteries in the brain thereby reducing blood flow which can lead to Chronic Fatigue, Cognitive Decline, Seizures, Stroke, and eventually Death.
We’re asking for help to pay for her surgery on the 6th of August as well as help getting her back on her feet since she is no longer able to work due to the disease.
Giselle, myself, and her family would like to take the time to thank you all for the constant support, kind words of encouragement, and willingness to help. If you do not have the means to donate we would still like to thank you for getting this far and supporting her during this difficult time.
Thank you all again.
-More about Giselle’s story and condition.-
On the morning of May 27th Giselle was driving home when she received a TIA, or Mini Stroke. She became disoriented and was unable to move the left side of her body. While still attempting to drive she called her mother who stated that her speech was slurred and that she should pull over immediately. Giselle’s mother rushed to her location and took her to the ER for immediate treatment.
Numerous tests were taken to determine what the cause of her sudden stroke could be including a Cerebral Angiogram in which a small catheter is inserted into her femoral artery via an incision in her upper thigh. The catheter is then guided up into her brain where xrays are then taken to capture the blood flow in her brain illuminated by a dye which is also inserted via bloodstream.
After many nights in the hospital, multiple visits with Neurosurgeons Giselle was finally diagnosed with Moyamoya Disease. Named for the similarities to puffs of smoke which coined the name of the disease which literally translates to “Puff Smoke”. Moyamoya was first discovered in Japan only affects a small percentage of the world population.
After being diagnosed Giselle met with a team of UCLA neurosurgeons who consulted with her and ensured her they would do everything they could to perform a safe surgery as soon as they possibly could.
Giselle is unable to work due to her condition leaving still bills to be paid. She was put on leave by her doctors. Many complicated procedures, visits, and tests later we are all becoming taxed financially and and spiritually. Any and all aid would be a huge help to Giselle and the people supporting her on a daily basis.
Currently we are waiting for the big day. August 6th Giselle will be undergoing brain surgery and needs as much support as she can possibly get.
Thank you all again so much for all the help you’ve given. Even kind words alone are enough to turn a bad day for Giselle into a positive one.
We love you all, thank you again and wish Giselle luck.
