Hope and Healing for Lilly Rolsing and family
Donation protected
Hi my name is Nicole Rolsing and I am starting this fundraiser for our family who is in need of assistance right now. Our 13 year old daughter Lilly has been struggling with some severe mental health issues over the last year. The issues really started two weeks before covid but in the last year has really amplified and in the last few months it has become imperative. Lilly (Archer) who socially identifies as a male, is a self-cutter who struggles with gender identity issues (currently she has socially transitioned but still uses original pronouns and birth name with family and she has not sorted that out yet or made any final decisions), severe anxiety that becomes amplified by audio and visual hallucinations, major depressive disorder, pseudo psychotic episodes caused by anxiety and trama, impulsive ADHD, ODD, pyrolle disorder, severe vitamin d deficiency, post-concussion syndrome and active concussion caused by injuries sustained in karate and a fight at school. There's most likely more going on with her too but has not been addressed yet. She needs more assessments done at this time. Lilly has cut herself thousands of times in the last couple of months. She's also tried to commit suicide four times since October. (A fifth time after returning home from the second impatient psych hospital) four of the times she tried to commit suicide by cutting, and the last time she took 60 ibuprofen. There are many other aspects to her deterioration and right now she is currently hospitalized in an adolescent inpatient mental health unit. Since the first admittance to the ER in St Paul on February 6th, many things have happened and she has deteriorated even more. She went from the emergency room in St Paul to the St Paul mental health unit where they discharged her against my will and she was re-hospitalized the same day just like 8 hours later at the Minneapolis children's hospital. From there she spent five days and then went to prairie St John's in North Dakota. She was there for 3 weeks when they also discharged her against my will. She then tried committing suicide just hours later and only 15 minutes after coming home. We then rushed her to the emergency room in St cloud and she stayed in that emergency room for 2 weeks waiting for a bed downstairs because she was denied everywhere except for prairie St John's which we did not want to send her back to. she needs residential inpatient for an unknown amount of time.
She needs intensive long-term mental health therapy and I still cannot go back to work. I need Lilly to be able to get the best care possible without worrying about finances. If she doesn't get the help that she needs, I fear that the next time she attempts suicide she'll be successful. We already keep everything locked up in the house and she's still finds ways of getting to the things that we keep her safe from. Lilly is a miracle child who started out life in a traumatizing way. She was born via emergency C-section at 25 weeks one day. She was 1 lb 6 oz at birth she had a brain bleed, heart surgery at 10 days old, about eight blood transfusions at least, was on oxygen for 119 days. of those 119 days she was intubated for 19 of them and had to be resuscitated at least four times. She also caught H1N1 while in the hospital as a baby and we almost lost her. She also had to have bilateral and inguinal hernia surgery after the H1N1 because she coughed so hard that she gave herself to hernias. She was very sick as a baby and as a young child. She's already been through a lot throughout her life, more than any child ever should. She is a strong child and wants help. Please help us help her.
