Kyms Emergancy medical costs

Hey Everyone!
As many of you know, Kym has had some ongoing medical issues for a few years now. She has suffered with tremendous nerve and muscle pain which has been misdiagnosed for quite a while. Kym has seen more doctors than we can remember and been on multiple medications. This past Saturday, after almost 20 days of heavy bleeding (and 2 separate doctor visits) we took her into the ER as she was in great pain and continued to bleed very heavily. The ER staff gave her some thorough tests (ultrasound, ob/gyn etc..) and discovered a grapefruit sized fibroid tumor attached to her uterine wall. The growing fibroid has been at the root of Kyms health problems for awhile now. This fibroid is literally twisting her uterus clockwise, presses on her bladder and colon and makes it hard to eat more than a few bites of food. Upon being released late Saturday night, Kym came home and woke up at 3:30 am with terrible pain and even heavier bleeding. We went right back to the ER and they had her stay overnight and she required a blood transfusion as her blood count had dropped to dangerous levels in just a few hours. These symptoms coupled with the bleeding and pain have caused her to have to cancel a few appointments. We are currently awaiting for her next ob/gyn appointment so they can schedule her hysterectomy as that’s the only way to get rid of the tumor and symptoms.
Asking for money is VERY difficult for us. We are both very proud, hardworking people but we find ourselves in an extremely difficult situation and we just need to get through the next few weeks until she has her operation and recovery. We are still going to be working as much as we can up until the surgery, we just lost a few days in the salon and find ourselves short of funds for bills, food and a few medications that our insurance doesn’t cover. We are not looking for a hand out, we will pay everything back once Kym recovers and we get back into the salon. We both wholeheartedly appreciate any bit of help that you guys can offer.
