Stephanie Needs Your Help: Critical Infections

Donation protected
Last Tuesday my daughter went to the ER with hundreds of lesions on her body that came out of no where. The first 2 ER doctors told her it was eczema and said she just needed antibiotics and go home. She cried and begged for them to listen to her because 2 weeks prior to this the same ER doctor sent her home and her regular doctor had the bumps tested and they tested positive for staph and Strep. She finished the course of antibiotics and then those bumps/lesions came back with a vengeance. She’s now been in the hospital for almost a week. She’s a very successful tattoo artist that uses her hands for work. She is talented beyond belief. The infection is so bad in her right wrist that she can’t even move 3 of her fingers and the doctors don’t know if she’ll gain movement in them. They said it’s a 50/50 chance. Her husband also works but Stephanie is the primary income provider. They have 2 babies (23 months and 10 months old) and she hasn’t been able to see them since she’s been in the hospital. They are putting a pick line in and she’s going to need antibiotics anywhere from 2-6 weeks. They’re doing more tests to see if they can find where else there might be infections in her body. She now has Staph and Strep A in her blood stream and she’s been on IV antibiotics since Wednesday. They should have started them as soon as she got to the ER on Tuesday.
She is very stressed right now.
This is the first time I’ve ever setup a GoFundMe. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. The infections are so awful and very painful. She had hundreds if not thousands of bumps all over her body. I want to do what I can to help her not stress about money. She won’t even be able to hold her babies whenever she finally gets home due to her wounds. My daughter is such a strong woman and hearing her cry broke my heart.
If you are not able to donate we would all greatly appreciate prayers for her.
