I'm setting up this Go fund me for my niece Amanda Sheeks she had surgery on June 7th to repair a hiatal hernia and partial nissan .She was released from Avera in Sioux Falls that evening in alot of pain and nauseated. She started throwing up the night of June 7th , which continued throughout the day of June 8th , her husband Nick took her to the ER in Madison where they didn't do much for her.she continued to feel sick through June 10th so her mom , Michele took her to the ER in Sioux Falls at Avera.After blood work and a scan of her chest and stomach it was discovered that was becoming septic and her stomach had become detached and was pushed up behind her heart , one to two more days and she would of went into cardiac arrest, a tube was placed in her nose to drain fluid of her heart . The morning of June 11th she had surgery to reattach her stomach and also had a tube put in her stomach to drain fluid , which remained for two weeks. She was in the hospital until June 14th after her second surgery, on June 16th she was back in ER for two days due to nausea and pain . Then she was back in the hospital on June 21st because of more nausea and not being able tp keep anything down, that hospital stay was four days. With all of Amanda 's pain and not feeling well she was off work for eight weeks, so runs a cleaning company so she since she wasn't able to help her coworker they couldn't clean as many houses and businesses during that time. Amanda's kids and husband have missed out on enjoying part of the summer with their mom and wife , because of her not feeling well for all that time .She is finally starting to feel better and is able to work some , but still has to rest often since she gets wore out easily with her body going through so much. Even with insurance the medical bills are alot, if you can help I know Amanda and family would deeply appreciate it !! Thank you and God Bless !
