❤️Prayers for Jessica ❤️

Donation protected
My daughter Jessica was perfectly healthy when we went to NYC to see the tree for her birthday. She just turned 19. Out of no where she became very sick and was admitted into Vassar hospital after 3 visits to the ER. After being admitted she seem to be getting better but then by the third day there she kept complaining of a bad headache on her right side. The doctors and nurses kept saying it was from her stomach infection. Well it turns out that she jhad something else going on that they were missing. Finally after she had a seizure episode they ran more tests and did an MRI. The MRI showed that Jessica had an infection in her brain and it was really bad. They put her into ICU at Vassar and the doc there called in  a neurologist from another hospital.  Now at this point she is not responding and the doctor says she needs to be transferred to Columbia Presbyterian hospital  which we agreed to do. When she arrived here they started running all types of tests and the swelling in her brain on the right side was so bad that they had to remove the right side of her skull or she would've died. Jessica is a fighter and we will get through this  its just going to take time and a long recovery. 
I'm her mom Holly and I have been here  everyday by her side and I have not been able to work because I don't want to leave her.  The expense of bills, gas and parking is overwhelming  so I will have to go back to work very soon.  At the same time I need to be with her as much as I can.  Her sister Julia has been very supportive along with her best friend Haley who is like an older sister to Jessica.  Jessica's dad has also been here as much as possible and has been very supportive. 
So today I am asking for your help and prayers for my daughter Jessica  so we can continue the fight against this horrible infection she has.  Thank you all who have been sending their unconditional love and support along with prayers for my precious baby. ❤️❤️
