Save The Life Of A Young Mother Of 3

We are trying to raise money so that this beautiful and loving mother can get the help she needs that her insurance will not pick up. Zuzanna Pecks stomach and intestines have stopped working, also known as gastroparesis, and has gone 2 years struggling to get her daily intake of vitamins and nutrients. In June of 2016 she was diagnosed with gastroparesis and was given a feeding tube to combat her condition. She is currently fighting to get seen by the mayo clinic on April 24 and the insurance company will not pay for anything. She has 4 beautiful kids that love her so much and are to young to fully understand what is going on. Ever since she was a child she has been in and out of hospitals and has had trouble eating but it wasn't until she turned 24 that these issues have come to really affect her daily life. Please if you have anything to spare to help save her life I honestly beg you to donate anything you can. She is 25 and this is too young to leave 4 kids. If you wish to know how she is doing or how the appointment at the mayo clinic goes please don't hesitate to ask. We all love this woman and we have all seen how hard she fights just to live another day even though she struggles to get out of bed she makes the effort to put a smile on everyone's face. We are also trying to get enough money raised so that she can have a gastric stimulator Inplanted along with a surgery for her vagus nerve. She has been through so much pain and has still smiled at the end of everyday because she has a big heart and does not want to see anyone else around her suffer in sadness.

In this picture she is attached to device that monitors her heart rate and records it all to find PVC's or premature-ventricular-contractions, that can cause her heart to skip beats or flip flop. In normal people there are a few during a duration of time but in Zuzanna Peck she can have up to 20+ in a matter of minutes

This is 9 months after she has been diagnosed with idiopathic gastroparesis, which is an unknown cause of this disease. It has been keeping her from eating or being able to keep any amount of food down. She has been trying so hard to eat by mouth but nothing has worked because gastroperisis does not only stop her from eating but it does not stop her stomach from producing acid and when the food has sat there for so long she ends up throwing it all up and if it is only acid in her stomach then it is acid that will be coming out of her mouth, which burns.

Shortly after diagnosis she was told that her stomach does not move at all and will have to be placed on a feeding tube, a GJ tube to be exact which connects to bother the stomach and the intestines, allowing her to drain any food or liquids that may by in her stomach and to get nutrients and medication into her system through her intestines. She can also use this tube to keep her body hydrated. The scarey things about these tubes is having it pulled out by accident which has happened to her.

After finding that her stomach was not responding to her formula and has been causing more harm than good by giving her diarrhea and leaking back into her stomach which she then throws up and starts to feel sick once again. This is the Picc line that had to be inserted so that the diarrhea will not cause her to become dehydrated and we have been getting IV bags that she is plugged into everyday which can be seen in some of the further down pictures.  Along with the IV that she is using the doctors have also put her on TPN which is another way of having her body absorb the nutrients and vitamins straightening her veins. The Picc line travels from her arm straight to her heart. But after trying TPN for the first time she developed the rare side effects that caused her to get a dry mouth, and a thirst that was unbearable along with her head feeling like it was going to explode. She also developed a fever that reached as high as 105.4.
