This is my mom Sherri. She is in dire of need for medical help, and we lack the funds to get her the help she desperately needs. She is in extreme pain. All of her teeth has literally rotted in her jaw and she has a really bad infection in the bone. They are saying that she needs to have all her teeth pulled and dentures put in as soon as possible. Being a heart patient, this could literally kill her. The infection can travel through the blood stream and effect her all ready severely damaged heart. We don't have the money to help her. She is on medicare because of all her health issues, and they just don't cover what she needs to have done. No wonder old people can't get any care, the coverage is awful! She can't just be seen in the office to have her teeth done, it has to be in a hospital setting. The numbing agent they use, adversely effects the heart and the amount they need to give her to remove the teeth, would send her into cardiac arrest. It has been highly recommended that she be in a hospital setting with an oral surgeon that can get in and out is a short amount of time. They want to remove the 16 back teeth first, let her heal and then finish and put in dentures. Right now the 16 back teeth is what is infecting her jaw and causing the infection. They have literally rotted and exposed the nerve and the pulp chamber of each tooth. She was seen on Monday 12/30/19 and they injected her jaw with the least amount of numbing agent they could use. We had to pay for those shots and they was expensive. The injection numbed her for only 5 hours (it was supposed to be 9 hours) and she was sobbing in pain when they wore off. The pain has been awful and was worse when the numbing shots wore off. She doesn't sleep because of it. I am scared she is gonna die. If the abscesses rapture and get into her blood stream, it could be deadly. Your mouth has direct access to your blood stream and so any heart patients are in high risk if there is an infection in the mouth.
She has recently been diagnosed as extremely malnourished...in fact so low that it does not show up on labs, has a rare form of anemia that could possibly turn into cancer, her red blood count is at 5, and has low stomach acid to be able to break down any vitamins or food. She has been having issues with this for years. She also has two torn discs in her back and has lung and heart damage. She is in Congestive Heart Failure now. Being a heart patient this is extremely dangerous and could kill her, the infection can infect her heart or brain.
We have tried calling around and seeing what we can do, but everyone wants her to pay for it upfront, and with her health issues, especially her heart issues, this could literally kill her if we wait much longer.
We need the funds as soon as possible, and each day that passes could literally kill her. This will also help get her the medication needed to help with the infection, and get her dentures and rides to and from the doctor visits, infusions and iv therapy. In all honesty, this is just a drop in the bucket with what we need but this will get it started. Please help my mom.
My mom is the one who has helped so many and still would do anything for anyone who is in need. I have seen her give the last dollar to someone in need, help others at Christmas time and given a place to live numerous times for extended period of time (I am talking over 2 years to the one with nothing in return) to people and would love to see if I could help her.
She is way too young to die. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for you help! God bless!
