Hi my name is Dana Schaufel I’m 40 years old and I have been very sick for the last 3 years I have been in the hospital more then I have been home. I have had more surgeries to try to get me better that have not worked. I currently have gastroparesis colitis Crohn’s pancreatitis and now I was just diagnosed with mobility disorder of the small bowel and small and large intestines we’re pretty much what happens is you’re paralyzed as your stomach and now my intestines are paralyzed so I’m unable to eat or drink I was on a feeding tube and now I’m on able to use it for food and just for my medication. So the doctors had to put me on TPN to keep me alive it gives me all of my vitamins and nutrition that I need to keep my body alive. This is pretty much my last chance to keep myself alive is to travel to Tallahassee To this hospital that is known to have the best G.I. doctors For Gastroparesis and Pseudo obstruction mobility disorder. I’m not someone to ask for help or money but this is My last chance so I have to Travel up to Tallahassee to meet the doctors stay there and have tests come home and then have to go up for surgery and come home and have to keep following up with this doctors there. If these doctors are willing to save my life and give me a glimpse of a life that I used to have and not feel like I’m just existing every day I have to take this chance. So I’m asking all my family and friends if you can help just a little That would help more Then you will ever know and if you can’t help I understand please just keep me in your prayers and thoughts. I want to say thank you to all my family and friends that have been there for me these last couple of years and have sent me some great fives good thoughts and lots of prayers I don’t think I’d be where I’m at today without you ❤️ I love you all from the bottom of my heart to the top ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks again Dana xoxo
