Our mother, Diana Thiry, had neck surgery earlier this year in August, it has since been a medical battle where she nearly lost her life. She developed a bacterial blood infection which lead to her having a stroke, the discovery of brain aneurysms, problematic kidney stones, pneumonia, the weakening of her heart, and more all in a short time frame. The blood infection completely attacked her heart leaving her to need open heart surgery on bypass to repair two valves on October 28, 2021 . The surgery was a success, however hours after the surgery she went into cardiac arrest and after 6 minutes she was brought back. She was in the ICU for over a week, intubated for most of that time while her body healed and grew strong enough to breath on its own. After being cleared from the ICU she was moved to the telemetry floor where she still resides with a picc line for an antibiotic that will be needed for 8 weeks to help with the blood infection. As of December 13, Diana was finally released from the hospital and will be in need of home health care for several weeks. 

Our mom is the strongest woman and it is truly incredible the battles she has overcome. She is on a long road to recovery and it will not be an easy one. She still has many medical road blocks to overcome which will mean more procedures in the next couple of months. We are asking for help to raise money for medical bills, home healthcare, and other expenses needed for Diana’s recovery. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This fundraiser is brought to you by Diana’s four children: Jason Ables, Joey Ables, Amanda Thiry, and Ashley Williams.
