Susan Havelin’s Road to Recovery

Donation protected
Susan Havelin suffered a stroke and brain aneurysm on Monday, July 10th and has since remained in ICU at University Hospital where she continues to improve slowly. Since July 10th she has undergone numerous surgeries and still has a lot of healing ahead, which is why doctors want to admit her to a specialized rehab hospital in Gulfport, MS where medical staff can care for her around the clock and offer better, direct treatment as her family looks ahead at recovery. As part of this treatment doctors will work to wean Susan off of the ventilator she’s been relying on. Speech therapists will also work to get her speaking again as the days progress. At this time we’re told she’ll likely be under this care in Gulfport for at least 30 days, if not longer. With Gulfport being a farther drive for Susan’s family to visit, we’re asking for any monetary donation you can provide to help us travel and visit with her as much as possible. Unfortunately, Gulfport won’t be her last stop.

We’re also preparing for additional rehabilitation following her Gulfport treatment, which will likely take her to New Orleans or Jackson, MS. This will be specialized care, focusing on her mobility and getting her back to doing everyday things, as best as possible.

Her immediate family has been able to rotate in and out of the hospital locally to show her we're always there and fighting beside her. Susan’s medical team believes this has played a huge role in her drive to continue to fight. We do not want to lose that momentum or for her to be alone.

Family members will be driving longer distances and will be staying overnight to be with Susan throughout the duration so she’s able to see familiar faces while she’s away. Of course, donations will also be used for when she returns home as her rehabilitation continues. We certainly appreciate any donation you’re able to make, no matter how small, as we navigate the uncertain weeks ahead.
