Support Chris's Triple Bypass Journey

Donation protected
**UPDATE** 3/12/25 7PM **
As of today Chris is still in ICU Recovery, unfortunately she had a lung collapse this evening. The Dr's said this is a common complication after bypass surgery and at this moment they are not expecting it to delay her ability to come home. She has been up and walking (farther than expected) and has been able to eat, requesting a fish sandwich Again, thank you to anyone who has made a donation towards helping Chris

**UPDATE** 3/10/25 6PM **
Chris has made it out of surgery!! The surgeon said that everything went as well as it could She is currently in the ICU waking up. The long road to recovery starts now. Thank you to anyone that has already made a donation. It is GREATLY appreciated

Chris was having some chest pains and decided to leave work to go to the ER. We (especially her) are all SOOOO lucky that she went when she did. After running tests in the ER they decided to transfer and admit her. After more extensive testing she has found out that she's 100% blocked in one artery and 80% for the other two. On Monday (3/10/25) Chris will be having triple bypass surgery. Right now she is in high spirits, doing well under the circumstances, but she has a long road ahead of her. After surgery she needs all of her energy to be focused on recovery and not being stressed about paying her bills, which she is already doing. From the time admitted until after surgery she will have spent at least a week in the hospital, this itself is going to bring an outrageous expense. Her family (myself and her kids) will be helping as much as possible, but we will not be able to do it all. She will have a minimum of one month of recovery. And likely won't be able to return to work for 3 months. This is why we are raising funds to help Chris.
