Support Tim Spencer as he battles NMO
In addition to Cathy's update below, I want to add that at 29 years old, Tim will be facing significant medical bills to cover his current two-month hospital stay as well as future stays, medications, physical therapy, and medical supplies as he battles NMO for a lifetime. This is a rare auto-immune disease with no known cure so we must be prepared to fight each "attack" until a cure is found. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of Tim. It means to world to us.
UPDATE from Cathy (Tim's mother):
On Friday, November 20,2020, our son Timothy came home for a typical Thanksgiving. By the 30th, he was admitted into Kalispell Regional for uncontrollable hiccups and vomiting. After a month and a half in the hospital, considerable lab work and countless scans, Tim was finally diagnosed with an extremely rare auto immune disease called Neuromyelitis Optica or NMO for short.
This uncommon condition has resulted in several lesions on Tim’s brain and spinal cord causing paralysis on his left side. Today we are anxiously waiting to fly to Arizona for an appointment with a specialist at the Mayo Clinic that is an expert in NMO.
Because this is an unknown and rare disease, Tim is facing a mountain of medical and financial challenges. God willing and lots of prayers, this journey will take a positive path and we can have our healthy boy back.
