Funds for Trish

About a year ago, our beautiful Trish Harwood, had hernia surgery. Soon after, during recovery, she became dehabilitatingly sick. She began vomiting everyday, having cramps, diarrhea and severe pain. The symptoms have grown to include blurred vision, ear ringing, racing heart, fatigue, headaches, weight loss and chronic inflammation in the mesh site. In addition, she has been dealing with numbness in her lower region, due to a nerve being cut during the operation. She has been to 7 doctors, including a recent visit to Duke, been given multiple medications and nothing has worked to lessen the pain or reduce the symptoms.
It has been discovered, that bacteria is attacking and eating away at the mesh, causing Trish to be slowly poisoned. The doctors, she has been to, either are unwilling to operate or are unsure of how to proceed.
Trish has been doing massive amounts of research and has found Dr. Peterson, a surgeon in Las Vegas, whom she has spoken to and consulted with. He is willing to perform the surgery and remove the mesh. He says that after the surgery, her pain and all the symptoms will be gone and the nerve that was cut, should begin repairing itself. She will be in recovery for 6 weeks and then should be back to a normal fully functioning life!
The surgery is a no insurance surgery and will need to be paid in full. $9,100 covers the surgery and the 3 day outpatient stay. And she will need $2,900 for travel expenses. As soon as we can raise the money, the doctor will fit her into the schedule!
Please help me give Trish, her life back. She is one of the hardest working people I know, generous and loving and would move mountains to save me if I was in the same place. Every little bit helps, so please help to give Trish this needed surgery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to save her!
