Support for my mom's extensive wound care.

Greetings everyone.

I'm writing this asking for help with support for my mother, Jeanette Seegmiller.

Also apologies in advance for graphic photos and for the long post.

 My mother recently has been suffering from this weird rare condition called Calcifilaxis, which happens to some people on dialysis for kidney failure. Ultimately what happens is the treatment pulls calcium from her bones and deposits it in different places in her body as like a defense mechanism... The calcium deposits then swell and grow and rip through her internal tissue and kills it in the process...

There's a medicine that dissolves the calcium deposits, but not at the same rate they are growing, so for now, the treatment is cutting out all the dead tissue which is a fairly extensive wound. She has one wound/cut the size of an orange in her thigh, however the one in her stomach stretches all the way from one hip to the other and is about 8 inches tall. She doesn't even have a belly button anymore.

Also, since the calcium makes so many hard lumps it's like a slice of of an apple, so they can't just shut the wound and it has to stay open to heal......so each day is a new surgery/procedure/mri/cat scan/ etc. to see if they got it all, or if its healing correctly.....

My mom started having issues with her kidneys in 2003, but was relatively fine, and then around this last Christmas everything just accelerated quickly, and what started as a small calcification biopsy surgery turned into removing like 20 lbs from her stomach area......and that's kind of where we're at right now...

She got transferred to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho because they can do skin grafts and have the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to help with healing and some better specialists to address all of her many issues, along with the wounds...she now has skin grafts and the prognosis is that this will be a very long recovery for her.

The support we are looking for is to help with the following:

* Any medical expenses

* Travel/accommodation expenses for her family to visit

* Due to inability to work, assistance with my mother's rent and other bills/home repair/upkeep services/care for her dog/etc.

My mother is truly kind and selfless. She has been a single mom of 5 kids and has lead a life of service. She's also an Air Force veteran, and served our country as well. She's a retired nurse and as we all know, nursing is truly a selfless profession.

She is constantly doing stuff for her kids, their spouses, grandkids, and enjoys helping others out, even strangers.

 My favorite memory of my mom is that I wanted ballet lessons when I was youngest and we couldn't afford them, so my mom would scrub the studio floors in exchange for lessons. She has lead a life of truly selfless hard work, and we would all love to make this scary part as stress free as possible. 

Anything helps. Even just sharing this. Thank you again for all the kind words and support.
