Support Terri York's Stroke Recovery
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Spryce and I am the daughter of Terri and Shannon York. I am creating this gofundme to help my parents with medical expenses and travel expenses throughout my mom’s recovery. On September 29th 2024, Terri had an ischemic stroke that was caused from a large blood clot in her left carotid artery and plaque from inside the artery breaking apart and moving throughout the artery that caused blood flow to become blocked from being able to go to her brain. She was taken by ambulance to Olean General and after imaging, they discovered that she had the stroke and was then taken by ambulance to Buffalo General Hospital Sunday evening for further treatment. While at Olean Hospital, she was given a medication to try to break up the clot, the risk of the medication was that it could cause bleeding throughout the body and well, it did. She then had to undergo a blood transfusion because she lost close to 2 pints of blood and her hemoglobin levels were low. Thankfully, the transfusion was successful and her blood count raised meaning that the bleeding had stopped. Since the bleeding stopped, they started her back up on blood thinners to try to break down the clot. Today she was finally taken out of the ER and put into the critical care neurology unit. The next step is that she will be getting a stent put in to help open the artery where the plaque is built up to open the artery back up. At the moment we are unsure how long she will remain in the hospital. All donations are highly appreciated and will allow my parents to have a little less stress while both of them are off work. Thank you so much. I will update as we find out more.
