Hi everyone. My name is Kelsey, Ciara Ericksen’s sister. Over the past year or more, she has had some unexplained health symptoms. Recently, she noticed an increase in migraine pain and frequency. This past week, the pain was unbearable and she had some vision changes and light sensitivity, leading her to make a couple trips to the emergency room. On Wednesday CT and MRI scans confirmed a small tumor to her pituitary gland, which explains her recent symptoms and could also potentially explain older symptoms. Per Neurosurgery opinion and based on the MRI and CT scans, they currently believe the tumor is benign. She will be having the tumor removed 1/20/2023 and will require at least one night in the ICU as well as multiple days observation afterward in the hospital.
I am starting this fundraiser to hopefully lighten the load of medical expenses she will be accruing within her insurance as well as the out of pocket costs she will have to pay for functional medicine appointments and any other unforeseen medical expenses. She has 4 children and will be off work for an unknown amount of time, so I am hoping to also help cover expenses for babysitting for her youngest daughter, Blaire, as her husband currently works full time. This is a private and scary matter for our family but I am hoping to decrease some of the financial stressors for the Ericksen family. Please direct any questions to me via private message or texting, as I do not want to overwhelm Thomas, Ciara’s husband. We appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers at this time. Thank you!
