*UPDATE as of June 27* Morgan is having brain surgery this morning and we will share an update as we receive more information. Our thoughts and prayers are over Morgan and her baby girl. Our prayers are also over the doctors and nurses performing the surgery. We are believing for a successful operation and Morgan hopefully being able to go home soon.

*UPDATE as of June 7* Morgan and her husband Colton are expecting a Baby Girl! As well as surgery has been postponed we are praying for Wednesday, June 14 with the hopes that the test results come back fine. Due to additional testing, we are waiting on the results which will come in on Monday, June 12. If they find something in the results then that means there is another tumor that will cause more complications to surgery. This would mean the surgery would have to be postponed for another 2 weeks because they would have to treat that before surgery.

I am fundraising for my best friend Morgan that is 5 months pregnant and her husband Colton and their future baby.
Thursday, June 1 she got admitted into the hospital where she would be delivering for her high blood pressure. Days pass of testing and medications and come Saturday, June 3 she gets an MRI done and they find a mass in the back of her head that are pushing on nerves that are causing her headache, her speech issues and her trouble eating and swallowing. Because of the mass they emergency ambulance her to a Dallas hospital with a big neurological department.
Monday, June 5 after 2 additional MRI's they diagnosed her with a disease called Von Hippel Lindau disease. She has a tumor in the back of her head, as well as cysts/tumors going down her spinal cord from her neck to her lower back. From the doctors pregnancy hormones intensifies the disease.
Tuesday, June 6 the doctors found more cysts on her kidneys and pancreas.
On Thursday, June 8 they will be performing brain surgery to remove the tumor in the back of her head and with her being 5 months pregnant we are worried for her and her baby's safety. We as her friend and family are hoping and praying she and the baby make it through the procedure.
Our prayers are over her, her baby and the doctors and nurses that God has full control over the entire operation and that His Angels protect her and her baby.
Morgan and her husband Colton are the beneficiaries of this GoFundMe. The donations will be going to support their family with medical expenses.
