Cindy Bayles's Medical Fund

Tuesday of this week my mother had quadruple bypass open heart surgery. The surgery went well, she is recovering in ICU still and had a partial lung collapse today.  Now, she is the strongest person I have ever met on this earth (she had a heart attack Friday and didn't even visit the ER until Monday morning and that's when they found the blocked arteries). When she was 18 she was abducted in the middle of winter and spent 3 days locked in a trunk before someone finally found her. This resulted in frostbite and the loss of all of her toes on both feet. She never once felt sorry for herself, never let it restrict her life and I believe that is one of the reasons she has been so strong throughout life. I have no doubt that she will make a full recovery and will probably feel better than ever.

My mom has no insurance and not much money in the bank. I will do everything I can to help her emotionally and financially just like she has done for me growing up. I don't want her to stress out about this ridiculous hospital bill.  Myself and my family will be incredibly grateful for any donations, every dollar counts. 

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read this.  Right now I hope we can raise a little money so my mom can worry about recovery and not about how she is going to be able to pay for the surgery that saved and extended her life. Personally I can think of nothing more depressing than having a life extended only to have those extra years filled with more stress and worry over money.
