Helping my Mooshum (grandpa in Cree)
Donation protected
Aanii everyone,
For the past few days, my mom has been travelling from home and our old home (1.5 hours away) to go to check on my mooshum (grandpa in Cree). His leg ulcer became infected. My mom took him to the emergency where they sent him home promising my mom he would get IV antiobiotics (for reasons he can’t take oral medication) and staying there the overnight.
When it finally hit me, I started to sob. My uncle cian who had schizophrenia was sent home 4 times and turned away from his doctor before he passed away from medication complications. My dad spent over a year in the hospital with severe health problems and they tried turning him away in the emergency.. Thankfully, my cousins and I helped my dad stay the night. I stayed by his side...
They sent my mooshum home and over the course of that time... his fever had gotten worse, he has septicaemia and he has signs of gangrene. Plus they didn’t “get the order” to send a nurse to change his bandages. My mom finally got him back into the hospital and spoke to the staff.
The asked amount will help my mom with travel expenses to be by his side and for my mooshum to get back on his feet.
Meegwetch everyone!
