As most of you know, I was airlifted Sunday, September 28th from St. Cloud Hospital to ORMC for an emergency heart cath and had 2 stents put in. The heart doctor told me had I not come to the ER Sunday when I did, I wouldn't have made it to see Monday. Then on Monday, I had complications with the incision area where it was bleeding under the skin, and they had to apply pressure to the area with a machine for 3 hours of excruciating pain, and it didn't fix it. I then had to have another small procedure, and the doctor had to numb the area and inject thrombin to stop the bleeding. I was able to go home on Wednesday afternoon.

I have been out of work since that Sunday and go back Tuesday with only half of my normal hours. I don't get PTO or sick days, so being out of work is going to set me back pretty bad.

The hospital bills are already rolling in, and we do have insurance that will pay 80%, but we are still awaiting what the helicopter ride is going to cost us. I was at 2 ERs and then transferred to the big hospital. I don't know an exact amount to ask for help, which is why I only put $500.00 because at this point, anything will help me.

I am extremely thankful to all that prayed and reached out to me during this very scary moment in my life. I am also very thankful that God gave me the chance to continue in this life. I want more than anything to be here for our grandson that we adopted when he was 3, and we've had him since he was 4 days old. It broke my heart to think that had I not made it Sunday, he would have been left without another mother again.

If you are unable to help, that is completely understandable, but please continue to pray for me. God has plans for me.

Thank you
