My name is Emma Pittman. My mom is Jennifer and my dad is Jeremy Pittman. My sister, Danielle, has been in Scottish Rite ICU for 23 days on a ventilator.

23 days ago, my family's world was torn apart when we tried waking Danielle up, and she stopped breathing in my mom's arms. Danielle has had many medical conditions over the years, including 2 major brain surgeries. She is the true definition of a fighter. She was rushed to Piedmont and brought back to us but has been on a ventilator, breathing for her 100%. She has now developed staph in her lungs and is not doing too well. We found out yesterday that her diaphragm is damaged, which means she has no control of the left side where her lung is collapsed. The doctor has asked my parents to start making decisions for Danielle to have a tracheostomy, which is a very intense surgery that comes with high risk. Danielle's body has been fighting for 23 days, and she is tired, and doctors are concerned that her body is too weak to perform anything at this time.

My mom has not left Danielle's side, not one time. She is with her 24/7. My dad drives to Atlanta every single day with all the children so we can be together as a family. My mom and dad are great parents and would never ask for help, but I know they are struggling. It's costing $40 a day just for gas to get back and forth, and bills continue to come regardless if you're in a hospital. I'm setting up this GoFundMe so maybe this can take a little stress off my mom and dad. If you can't donate, that's fine; we are asking for all the prayers we can get.

Anyone who has ever met Danielle knows she has a heart of gold and is absolutely adored by everyone she comes in contact with. We go to bed every night and pray for God to give us one more day with her. All donations and prayers will be appreciated more than you know. If you don't want to do GoFundMe, she also has Cash App: $jp091982. Again, thank you everyone, and please keep my sweet sister in your prayers.
