To help Natasha get the surgery she needs

Donation protected
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this, Natasha Hoadley is my sister and is only 28 years old. She lives with my mom in McMinnville and was miss diagnosed at the McMinnville hospital with a stomach ulcer that failed to get better. When her symptoms worsened our mom took her into Murfreesboro to Saint Thomas Rutherford to have her seen. It was worse than a stomach ulcer, it was Pancreatitis, her pancreas was so swollen her abdomen looked bloated. Her blood work was not much better, her pancreatic enzymes were through the roof along with her white blood cell count. She was put on fluids and even given Morphine, but that didn’t begin to touch the pain. They got her on Dilaudid and that seemed to help some along with some other pain management. They did an MRI and found gallstones, which explained why and how she may have ended up with the acute onset of pancreatitis, because when a person has gallstones, it can block the pancreatic duct causing inflammation in the pancreas. Therefore, the doctors decided it would be best to have her gallbladder removed to prevent further complications. She was set to have her gallbladder removed at the hospital on March 4th, 2022, but they were unable to perform the surgery due to her pancreas being too inflamed. They decided they would try for the next day after getting her on some autoinflammatory drugs, but still no luck. Now, the doctor who is going to perform the surgery says he will not do it for a month. I personally do not know why he has pushed it back but when I do find out I will post below. They decided they would do it out patient as well, which requires payment upfront. My sister does not have health insurance and has been fighting for disability due to mental health issues for a while, but we told the hospital she is uninsured, all they told us is they have a discount. The doctor told us he would work with us; we do not know his portion yet. Once I find out his side, I will post it as well, the hospital’s portion is $9000.00 USD. They expect it to be paid upfront before she can have the surgery. This is where you guys come in, I’m asking for as much help as we can get because I don’t want to lose my sister because money was a factor. We already asked about financial aid and they don’t have it for outpatient procedures. If anyone has any other information we could use, please reach out to us. Both my parents work, but it has been hard due to COVID so there is no savings to use towards this, I will be giving all I can to help my sister. A little can go a long way so please, anything helps. Thank you.
