My dear friend, Katie Crawford, has been diagnosed with tongue and mouth cancer. Katie will undergo extensive surgery on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. A good portion of Katie's tongue, mouth floor and teeth will be removed along with lymph nodes on both sides of her neck. After surgeons reach clear margins, the reconstruction team will take skin, veins and arteries from her inner arm to reform her tongue and mouth floor, then skin from her thigh to graft to her inner arm. A tracheostomy will be done for breathing recovery, as well as, a feeding tube inserted for nutrition. All of these procedures will take place in an 8-10 hour time span with several specialty surgical teams. Katie will then go to ICU, then move to a step-down recovery room that could be up to 14 days in the hospital. Her recovery has been predicted to take up to 3 months to rehab with physical, occupational & speech therapy to help with talking, swallowing and eating. Katie has 6 weeks paid sick leave at her work, which helps special needs children find placement in foster care. Her husband, Kevin, who works for a trucking company, will help care for her. Both of them will miss a lot of work, creating a need for help with mounting medical and monthly bills. Please, pray and if you feel led to help bless Katie during this difficult time, make a donation on her behalf. You can also keep up with Katie's progress @ www.caringbridge.com by entering her name, Katie Crawford. Thank you!
