Hello! This is Cat's sister Meagan. She's going to be mad at me for the pic haha. HOWEVER, I'm sharing this on her behalf as I know she's at home trying to recover currently. Many of you may know that Catherine recently suffered kidney failure. Its a crazy story so I'll spare you the intimate details and give you the cliffnotes version. She had been having weird symptoms that mimicked an allergic reaction. These persisted and continued to get worse. After having a fainting like spell at the grocery store her friend urges her to go to urgent care. Upon arriving she stepped out of the car and fell out experiencing a seizure and was then rushed to the hospital. Cat had to undergo many rounds of dialysis and eventually a biopsy to figure out what happened. After just about a week in the hospital she was finally discharged. Her diagnosis is acute tubular necrosis. She is on the mend but has a lengthy recovery ahead of her.
Why am I creating this for her? Well, she was less than 3 weeks away from getting her health insurance through work when this happened. She will be unable to drive for 6 months because of the seizure and she definitely won't be able to work for quite some time. We dont know what her bills are going to look like but I'm most certain it will surpass the total I put on here.
If you know Cat, you know how selfless she can be, and in this moment she needs us all to rally behind her. Shes also fiercely independent and likely wont ask for help herself. If you've read this far, thank you! Please don't hesitate to reach out to her with kind words. Also if you have any questions let me know.
