Jayde Parker Medical Expenses

Donation protected
On 11/28/15 my 15 year old daughter Jayde Alexandria Parker was riding on the back of a golf cart with her friends and she was thrown to the concrete when her friend made a fast sharp right turn. She went into a deep coma on scene. 911 was instantly dispatched and she was airlifted to Lee Memorial in Fort Meyers where she recieved emergency brain surgery to drain a sizable blood clot. They removed a part of her skull to release the brain swelling. She also has bleeding on the brain and her brain has shifted. The brain is also badly bruised. Later that night she was again airlifted to Tampa General in the pediatric ICU. She has had no significant signs of coming out of her coma as of yet.  She has been stimulated however by the pain by moving her legs when the nurses are caring for her wounds. They put a Bolt in to monitor her brain swelling and so far she has only swollen a little today 11/29/15 when she spiked a fever. Her fever has been controlled and her brain is back to an acceptible level. She has insurance but will not cover all her expenses she has a nursing staff that stays in her room at all times. Jayde really is a very beautiful strong willed little girl and I'm praying that she will make a full recovery. The doctor obviously can not promises that he can't keep and he told me that worse case she will never wake from her coma or she will recover fully as everyone is different in healing. He believes she will be somewhere in the middle and she will have to have extensive therapy to re learn basic body skills. All I can do is pray and wait. Even if you are unable to help could you please at least say a prayer for her. Their father Jason Duane Parker passed away very unexpectedly almost 2 years to the day of Jayde's accident. We can't loose her too. She will be in the hospital for a while and she is getting the best possible care available. After their fathers accident we moved from Indiana to Florida to be near my parents and it took all my savings doing so. I am a single mother of 3 beautiful teenage girls and have been unable to work for 2 years due to my appendix bursting in January 2014 and I was fighting for my life for a month in the hospital as well. I had gangrene and had to have a portion of my intestines removed twice. Since my appendectomy I have had a total of 9 surgeries and I will soon undergo another. We barely make ends meet and my daughter is 2 and half hours away, my car tires are bald but I can not afford to repair them at this time. I have a friend who is going to drive me to Tampa General and hopefully I will be able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. We are all devistated by this tragedy and any help would be appreciated.
