A week before Thanksgiving, my Mother had suddenly seized up and collapsed from a brain aneurysm, and was on the verge of death if it weren't for my Father being around to make sure she received emergency medical attention. He saved her life, and because of him, my Mother lives to fight on in recovery. 

But the road is long and arduous. As of writing this, she has a drainage tube in her cranium to drain blood and other fluid build-up.  She's on Antibiotics, Steroids, Insulin, Anti Platelet to prevent blood clots, and Anti Spasmodics to prevent muscle spasm for both body and brain. Though she is slowly coming to, and able to speak lowly in short bursts, recovery is expected to be tough. 

My Mother has medical insurance, as she's been working for the School District of Philadelphia for well over two decades teaching preschoolers, but given the extended hospital stay (close to a month at this point), the neurosurgery, and complications that occurred as a result of the surgery that required additional procedures, we're not sure if she'll be entirely covered.  This is why we decided to create this page, to ask you for your help.

Funds raised will be used to ensure that my Mother's hospital bills are paid, that we have the means to afford the extensive amount of rehabilitation she'll need after recovery, as well as the costs of out-patient home care, and to ensure financial stability. It's extremely hard to say if my Mother will have a full recovery, or if she'll even step inside her School ever again after this, and it pains me to even type that.

Whatever the case, I want my Mother to know that her family, friends, and associates are looking out for her, and that she's gonna be okay. With your contributions, we can also give her peace of mind.
