I know times are tough right now but asking for some help for a special family that I have known for several years.  Analiesa started having pain Saturday, August 15th after her uncle's birthday dinner. At the time, it was thought to be food poisoning. After a few days, her condition had not improved and she was becoming dehydrated with worsening pain. Doctors thought it was acid reflux or an ulcer and ordered medications. Labs and Ultrasound came back normal. Unfortunately, Ana continued with pain and not being able to hold things down, so she went to the Cardinal Glennon ER on the 28th and ended up having upper and lower GI testing. The colonoscopy prep was so bad for her that she collapsed. These tests did not show any blockage or issues with her intestines. Doctor ordered her to go back to the ER and was admitted. She can only taken Ibuprofen or Tylenol for pain as other medications can exacerbate her condition. At this point, the doctors do not know what is causing her to have so much pain. Her blood pressure has gone severely high and has had a dangerous heart rate. She has had to wear a heart monitor. They have now placed a NG tube to get nutrients into her system so that oral consumption does not irritate her condition any further. Her bladder stomach, intestines and esophagus have all gotten sluggish and weak from not eating. Ana keeps getting more inflammation, sporadic fevers and nausea NOT associated with food or drink. She is seeing a psychiatrist to help manage her pain. Doctors have ruled out all the normal conditions this could be and now looking into something more obscure. Unfortunately, Ana has started to have migraine headaches too. As for all of this, Darla is staying at the hospital with Ana day and night to be with her daughter and to make sure she is there when the doctors come in as it has become a revolving hospital room door. In preparation for upcoming bills, Jay has been working 7 days a week with lots of overtime. In addition, he is making multiple trips up to the hospital to visit and bring them the things they need.  Jay J, Ana's little brother, has been having to get rides to and from school and is worried and misses his sister, but is not allowed to see her in the hospital. Mind you, Ana is only 15 years old and going through all of this, so any little bit will help with medical bills or anything that the family may need a little help with now. This is a family that when they say they are praying for you, I genuinely know they are. They need all the prayers they can get but at this time we need to help them even more than that. Thank you.
