Support For Tanya Moore!!

Hi, my name is Quinn. I have know Tanya Moore for almost five years. She is selfless, cares for others more than herself and has a hard time asking for help so this is why I am opening a GoFundMe for her.

This is her story:

Had hernia surgery on March 14th ( was supposed to be easy normal surgery) but it was more complex than they thought it would be. Right after surgery, I noticed weight gain and over the next two weeks had to move to bigger pants size.

On April 6th, the incision start leaking brown fluid, but doctors said it was ok and not to worry. On April 11th, I emailed doctors to make sure the leaking was normal was told yes.

On April 14th around 11am I had major pain in my stomach and I was freezing which gave me chills. I checked in with the school nurse who was concerned about the fluid in my stomach and I felt I needed a second opinion. That night the pain got worse and had a fever on 103.6. My husband, Nelson rushed me to the ER where I was told " I was in a life or death situation". So I sat in the emergency room for over 15 hours (I was told there weren't any available rooms). I had nothing to eat or drink because they thought I needed surgery.

After 19 hours, the head of the ER had radiology cut me open and put a JP drain in. They drained over 800 milliliters fluid. I was transferred to Mercy hospital by ambulance and sent home from there. I woke up in severe pain the following day, but couldn't be seen until the 20th.

On April 19th the doctor called to say the fluid that was removed showed for a MRSA infection and another bought with COVID (this would be third time testing positive for COVID in 2 years). Doctors started me on antibiotics immediately. On the 20th, I went to follow up appointment and was rushed back to the ER. Doctors came in and said the JP drain is not working good enough and I would be headed to surgery in 20mins, but because of the MRSA they can't close me up. I have to heal from the inside out, which mean I have an open wound on my stomach. 

Currently, I have a home nurse that comes out 3 days a week sometime more. I have had countless CT scans to measure fluids in my abdomen and to check if MRSA has travel into my abdomen. I have blood taken multiple times a week because my levels are so low. Viens in both of my arms have been blown. I take IV antibiotics which I wound up getting sick, so now I take oral antibiotics which I have six of the seven side effects. 

One of my surgeons thinks it's too dangerous for me to be out my home and other doctor, an infectious disease doctor, said I can work up to 4 hours, if my body and open wound could handle it.  I really have no choice but to work because money is tight in my full house. Within the last 48 hours, I have been removed off of oral antibiotics due to throwing up. I was admitted for 36 hours. They sent me home because there wasn’t much to do for me, after you have the lucky opportunity of getting an infectious disease doctor, no one wants to help. I REPEAT, everyone is scared to make me worse. I visited the ER last night because I was dehydrated. I am having a hard time because I am in and out of the hospital and I am unable to figure what is wrong.

Tanya is working less and less. She has insurance but insurance will not cover all the expenses that she is accumulating from hospital bills, a fluid vacuum that is connected almost all the time, outside of changes by the nurse, nurse visits and frequent hospital stays. Outside of hospital bills she still has bills from everyday living.

She needs our help!!
