Sally's Ongoing Medical Support
For our dear friend and loved one Sally Brocklehurst ♡
We are currently raising funds for our beautiful Sally as she has malignant cancer spreading rapidly and is currently under care at Coff's Harbour Hospital, NSW, Australia.
HER JOURNEY SO FAR:
On Monday the 30th of January Sally was taken to the Emergency unit in Coffs Harbour Hospital where she spent 24 hours being examined. She is now under care in a medical ward where she is being constantly monitored and tested. Her health crisis is causing her extreme discomfort as her liver is many times its normal size and is displacing other organs.
Throughout January Sal became ever more sick and debilitated and we have been shocked by the severity of her abdominal distortions and back pain. To date she has been examined, probed and cared for by about 8 doctors, 3 surgeons, multiple nurses, a liver specialist, 2 ambos, and numerous medical students, and through it all has remained in her beautiful nature and speaks of those in worse conditions than herself.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP:
Sal still has no improvement, and there is no indication of how long she may be in hospital nor the length of her recovery period, thus work has been and is off the agenda and she will not be able to work for an unknown period of time.
Rarely does Sal ask anything of others yet gives unconditionally. As we reflect on our time with her I have no doubt every one of us has been a recipient of her kindness and unwavering generosity. Sal is usually so robust and independent that her own needs may be sometimes invisible to her loved ones.
Her plan was to work as much as possible massaging during her uni break, and along with me making a deck of Conversation Starters for sale which we had intended to launch early this year to help fund her final year of her Bachelor Health Science. Sadly this illness has halted and depleted her finances and ability to work.
The greater tragedy is that due to her illness she now has been advised by her specialist to defer her final year of university to focus on identifying whatever this mystery illness is, and then to slowly heal and work to get strong again.
I’m hopeful that those reading this will feel moved to deposit something - no matter how small or large.
I invite you all to send loving and healing thoughts and prayers to aid in her healing, and some financial contribution if you feel so moved.
So many have been sending healing for which we're both immensely grateful - please keep it coming.
PLEASE SHARE this message with others who know and love Sal.
With Love and Thanks,
Cedar Rivers
