Help Crystal Recover from Brain Surgery

I am trying to help my bonus kids' mom and bonus dad raise some money to help them through a very hard time! All money raised will go to help them and my bonus kids get back on their feet. They asked me to share this message with you all...

Approximately two years ago Crystal started having some health issues and after several medical test it was determined that she had a massive amount of fluid built up on her brain. She was rushed to Lutheran hospital to undergo brain surgery to place a brain shunt in to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately three weeks ago she started having some issues again and they found that her shunt had failed. She was once again rushed to Lutheran hospital to have surgery to remove the failed shunt. Do to the failure it caused a terrible infection in her stomach where the shunt tube drains and in her head where the shunt is actually placed. She was in ICU for a week fighting the infection and once they were able to get the infection under control she had to undergo another brain surgery to replace the failed shunt and was back in the ICU for another eight days. She is still having a lot of pain and discomfort and will be having more procedures in the coming weeks. This has taken a devastating toll on our family financial as we were just getting back on our feet from the previous surgeries. The last thing we thought we would have to do or wanted to do is ask for help but with the many trips to and from Fort Wayne and the upcoming procedures and having to take so much time off of work we are struggling severely. Please help to save our family from financial hardship

Sincerely

Brad and Crystal
