Layne's organs keep quitting

Donation protected
Hey friends. So if you've been following my month long saga on twitter, you know this story but if you haven't, Easter weekend my appendix decided to up and quit on me. I had emergency surgery but it had already ruptured which caused a whole bunch of complications, an infection, an abscess that required another procedure and external drain, and a 7 day hospital stay. Just when I thought I was back in the clear, my intestines also decided to quit. Due to complications from the appendix surgery I was admitted to UCLA in Santa Monica and a day later was sent for another emergency surgery after a CT scan showed my bowels were entirely blocked and near bursting. 

I've now pulled out of all three procedures and complications. I may have a few more days of observation to make sure nothing else happens and anything could still pop up but we are hoping I'm in the clear an my organs have gotten their crap together (literally).

The only problem is of course funding. Insurance covered my initial appendectomy and the $25,000 in cost acquired from that 7 day hospital stay because I was in Boston visiting family at the time so it was considered an out of state emergency. However insurance will only cover my ER visit at UCLA and not the rest, citing that it is not a hospital covered under Medical. So now I got great medical care but am in the hole for about another $25,000.  My parents and I are trying to put together a payment plan to help but they are the parents of 6 kids, two on their way to college and this is a huge an sudden expense. My bills are due within 14 days of receiving them so I really want to get ahead of them and hopefully try to raise some or all of the cost so we can finally put this awful month behind us. 

Any help at all is truly, truly appreciated. Even if you can just spread the word that would be a great help. Thank you in advance, 

Layne (sans appendix but still thankfully with intestines)
