Please help Nicole with unexpected medical expense
Donation protected
This is to help Nicole Rivera aka “Nikki” pay for her recent unexpected medical bills from a severe life threatening postoperative medical complication.
Nicole was admitted to the hospital on 6/6/23 due to a cerebrospinal fluid leak that occurred following a recent lumbar laminectomy surgery. She was just released from the hospital on 6/13/23.
Her doctors and nurses were all surprised by the size of the csf leak as they had never seen a patient with such a large csf leak like hers with her lumbar MRI showing:
“A large peripherally enhancing fluid collection is seen at the left L3 laminectomy site and communicates with the dorsal epidural space to suggest a pseudomeningocele, measuring 8.2 cm AP by 3.8 cm TR by 3.4 cm CC. The collection appears to communicate with the skin posteriorly on the left at the L4 level.
A large amount of dorsal extradural fluid is seen throughout the lower thoracic through lumbar spinal cord at the L3-4 level, consistent with a leak. There is narrowing of the thecal sac within the lower thoracic spinal cord through cauda equina nerve roots at the L3-4 level. Clumping of the cauda equina nerve roots is seen from the conus medullaris at the T2 level through the L3-4 level.”
Due to the severity of her condition, she is unable to work and must stay on bed rest until further notice. As we all know, life keeps going even when we’ve hit a rough patch.
Please help Nicole continue to focus on healing by donating to help with her medical bills. All donations will go towards the medical bills she faces after surviving this medical emergency. Any donation will be greatly appreciated ❤️❤️
