Help Jeanette Overcome Medical Setbacks

My name is Justice and I am creating this GoFund Me for my Grandma Jeanette Swesey.

On Wednesday April 24th Jeanette underwent a major surgery to correct her abdominal aortic aneurysm and place 4 stents. Her expected stay was 1-2 days and return to her daughter Amanda’s home for a few weeks of healing and care before returning home to Sturgis. After surgery, the new blood flow to her legs and kidneys caused a few setbacks with numbness in the lower extremities and decreased kidney function extending her stay what they thought would be a week. We have just surpassed week two in the hospital with her official discharge date unknown.

Her drawbacks that are preventing her from leaving the hospital are her kidneys as they are not properly filtering. On April 29th Jeanette's breathing was decreasing as her body was not ridding water causing her to be placed on almost full oxygen and had a dialysis line placed in her neck and a blood transfusion. Her first round of dialysis removed 3.8 liters of fluid. Since then, she has been doing dialysis every other day with blood transfusions every few days. The Dr's are confident that her kidneys are not going to need dialysis long term, but in order to leave the hospital she is in need of setting up dialysis appointments until her kidneys start to catch up.

We are asking for donations from our friends, family, and loved ones as this was an unexpected extended hospital stay. This money will help with additional medical fees that will continue to accumulate after hospital discharge.
