Medical bills for Cherry
Donation protected
My parents James and Cherry have been in Switzerland for 3 weeks now. They have been going now for I believe 9 years. My mom does counseling for free at a conference for missionaries. My dad checks people in and runs errands if they need it.
On this past Friday Cherry had awful stomach pains. Finally on Saturday my dad took her to the emergency room. They ran some tests and found out she had appendicitis . They gave her medication and told her to come back Sunday morning to get another test to make sure it wasn’t spreading. She went back Sunday morning and the tests showed it was getting worse. The doctors decided to remove her appendix. It was supposed to be a 40 minute surgery but turned into a 3 1/2 hours surgery. There were some complications and that’s why it took so long. They had to open her up all the way. She has been in the ICU since Sunday afternoon. Cherry is very weak and gets out of breath if she talks for two long. She was able to eat and drink Monday. We don’t know when she will be able to fly home.
I am setting this page up so I can help them out! We need to get my mom a first class plane ticket so she can lay down flat and won’t be in so much pain. My dad is having to stay longer in the hotel room. We believe Kaiser will reimburse them for their medical bills but not for the flight home and the hotel room. Even if you can’t donate please be praying for my parents. Thank you so much for your donations and prayers.
Love,
Alethea, Ryan, Sean, Kris and Esme Waldorn
