Necrotizing pancreatitis is NO joke!

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Amanda and until recently was living life one day to the next until my wife woke up in excruciating pain after throwing up all night. We had her transported by ambulance to the nearest hospital. After multiple tests we were told that she has necrotizing pancreatitis (her pancreas is dead completely) and they were waiting for a bed to open up at Duke because her situation was too complicated they did t have the means to treat her locally. After 4 long days of lying in the ED on a stretcher she finally was transported to Duke zand started getting treatment. That was almost 4 weeks ago all this started and everytime we rhink we make a way forward we seem to step backwards instead! As a result of her pancreas being dead everything on her is so swollen and ahe is now going to be a life long diabetic so she will have to continuously take insulin to live as well as take certain mediactio(s) before every meal she eats so the medicine can a t as the pancreas & break down the food so she can digest it. As it was before this Heather was already on disability & due to on-going health issues myself im not working and not even permitted to drive. Being in the hospital is never fun for anyone and can get very pricey, very fast. Even after we leave Duke & Heather settled back in, thats a whole new journey in itself & is goinf to be a long road of recovery! Anything you can give or offer would be most appreciated and welcomed! Even if nothing is given we could always use prayers, love & positivity to keep progressing & hopefully we are finished with any regression!! Im just learning this and will try to keep updates to everyone as we move forward each day. You can also follow or find us on Facebook and other media platforms!
