Help Dana with illness and healing
Donation protected
Hi everyone, Dana has been grooming and caring for animals in the community for 20 + years. Let’s reach into Fido’s cookie jar for her. My name is Diane Neal and my close friend Dana received unexpected news following a MRI & other diagnostic tests.
Dana’s MRI showed that she has OSTEOMYELITIS of the thoracic region of her spine. This is a infection of the bone. Left untreated it could cause paralysis and, or septic shock. Surgery to debris the area is necessary & if needed a graft. Difficulty healing and already suffering from osteoarthritis she is no stranger to pain. sadly I see her struggling more & more with this.
Another unexpected find is her kidney function. Her GFR is 46. Dana is 57 , her numbers should be in the 70s. This indicates that the kidneys are not filtering toxins normally and more testing to come . As a infant she had nephrosis, it reoccurred in childhood but she never expected to face it again. ( if that is the issue)
Both of these conditions are very serious and need treatment immediately.
Her biggest concern is the financial hardship treatment would cause within the household. Any help to put her mind at ease would be a blessing. Dana needs to focus on healing. She has spent her life caring for pets in the community & helping pet owners, please open your heart to help her in this time of need. Treatment and physical therapy are urgently needed. Anything you can comfortably give is greatly appreciated.
