Medical Expenses for Darla Boocks

My name is Tonya and I have been friends with Darla for 26 years. She is my best friend and has done so much for me over the years. Darla has struggled with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis and scleroderma. On Monday August 22, she developed an infection that led to sepsis. Within 24 hours she went into septic and toxic shock and ketoacidosis. She was put on a Ventilator and flown to UPMC Hamot. Her body was shutting down quickly and her husband Bob was told to start preparing for the worst. They had been together for 25 years but had just gotten married less than a year ago. He was not ready. Her kidneys had completely shut down. She needed a miracle. Everyone she knew was praying that night. The next day, the doctors couldn't explain how she had made such a dramatic turnaround. Within 48 hours she was off the ventilator and beginning to sit up. Bob has not been able to work throughout these weeks and this hospital stay is going to put so much stress on their already high medical bills as Darla already receives quarterly infusions for her M.S. Darla does so much for everyone else and always puts her needs last. If you feel it in your heart to donate anything to Bob and Darla, they would greatly appreciate it. She has a long road of recovery ahead of her. She is a fierce fighter and has a heart of gold.
