Andrea’s Brain Surgery

My beautiful, smart and loving oldest Daughter, Andrea Bostwick, has been diagnosed with Hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) recently and will be having brain surgery October 1st where they will be placing a shunt in her head to relieve the pressure and drain the fluid off of the brain.  Andrea has been off work as a 6th grade teacher for a couple weeks due to the severe headaches that hydrocephalus cause, she teaches in Richmond Utah for Cache County school district. Teaching is her life and she loves each child she teaches as if they were her own. Andrea knew at 6 that she wanted to be a teacher and her love and passion for teaching has helped many of her students not only love to learn but to go on to be amazing teachers as well. 
Andrea is a wonderful, loving and very present Mommy! Her 3 daughters (Alaura 14, Adalyn 8 and Avery 7) are her life! along with “Her Person” Randy who she has been married to for 15 yrs. Anyone who knows or who have ever met my daughter Andrea know what an amazing person she is. If you have children even ones that are grown and have families of their own, you know the meaning of unconditional love and when they hurt, mentally, physically or emotionally, all you wish for is to be able to take the pain away. The only way to take Andrea’s pain away is by having this surgery. 
The medical bills for this surgery, beyond her insurance, is going to be and have already begun to add up. I am asking as a mom and a grandma if you or anyone you know could help this beautiful mommy, teacher, daughter, sister and loving wife ease some of this financial burden so she can heal up and get back to being the best she can be, I would forever be grateful. Please share Andrea’s story. Thank you!
