Moms journey to brain surgery

Donation protected
Hi, My name is Kelsey and I’m doing this for my mom and step dad. Two months ago my mom started losing her vision. it lead to many Dr appointments, ER visits, lumbar puncture and many specialists. She was diagnosed with IIH. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. It mimics having a brain tumor without having a brain tumor. There is no cure. My mom suffered a lot including having spinal fluid coming out of her nose from such high pressure in her head. Currently no treatment has helped bring down the fluid on the brain and swelling on her optic nerves. She currently takes 4000mg of diamox without a single change in these last two months which has lead us to her needing brain surgery. She meets with her surgeon next week. This is an extremely scary time for our family. I want to help take any burden off of them while they focus on my mom’s health. I set this up because my mom and step dad are already currently drowning in medical bills from this. They currently owe over 6,000 in medical bills. As her daughter I just want to get the stress off her shoulders as if she already has enough. I want her to come out of this surgery safely and to be herself again. All help is appreciated.
