Love for Tiffany

On August 10, 2017, Tiffany had what was supposed to be a relatively simple procedure to repair her celiac artery. The 2.5 hour surgery took 7 hours instead. After a week in the hospital recovering, Tiffany was released and a few days later moved into her college dorm at Rosemont College-something she had been looking forward to for many months. 10 days later, Tiff spiked a fever and her health quickly deteriorated. She went from her local ER, to Cooper University Hospital and was choppered  down to the University of Maryland Medical Center where her procedure was performed.  Tiffany had an ulcer, an abscess, was septic and had internal bleeding from an unknown origin. Tiffany underwent numerous procedures to try to stop the bleeding. She's been on a ventilator and received countless blood transfusions.On Thursday, September 7, Tiffany took a turn for the worse, when a hole was found in her stomach the size of a pencil point and she was taken back to the OR.  After this procedure, the prognosis was dire and Tiff's family was preparing for the worst. Thanks to the excellent care of the medical staff at U of Md, and the prayers from Tiff's family and friends, a miracle happened and Tiffany is slowly improving. She's endured another week of tests and procedures and is making progress every day. "Slow and steady wins the race." But she has  a long road ahead of her for a full recovery and the medical bills and travel expenses are mounting. Cheryl has not left her side, and Tom and Joe are traveling back and forth to Maryland to be with them. We are looking to raise money to help the family with medical bills, travel expenses, future care and to help pay the bills while her family is not working so they can be by Tiff's side.
