Donate to Help Teina with Medical and Living Expenses while recovering, organized by Kelli Mason

Hi to all of our friends and family. Some of you know but most do not. My mom suffered a heart attack this past Sunday, after many tests and a procedure to see if they can open up her damaged arteries the Cardiologist and Surgeon have decided that she needs to have Bypass Surgery. Her heart is pretty sick so she is not allowed to leave the hospital until the surgery is done. We have thought that was going to happen already a couple of times however it has yet to happen due to further testing they need to do. See my mother was pretty sick over this last year due to having an unknown hernia as well as an esophageal stricture (narrowing of her esophagus). Due to this my mom lost an extreme amount of weight and was doing everything she could just to get fat in her body. It took months upon months to finally get her in to get these two issues fixed but, she finally did get it all fixed and was feeling and doing great. She was very slowly putting weight on again and was actually able to eat REAL FOOD again and then after just about a month or two she started having issues again and of course it has just continued to get worse. So she made an appt to have the procedure done again as this is something she will have to continue to get done over her lifetime. However now that she is in the hospital she wont be able to have that surgery with her normal doctor but she also cant have her Bypass Surgery until they get in there to do the esophagus stretching again. They have to do this surgery first because 1. the anesthesiologist needs to be able to stick a scope down her esophagus and if it has shrunk down as much as we think it has there is no way he will be able to get that scope where he needs to, 2. she is going to have more meds for her heart she will have to take after the Bypass Surgery and if she cant swallow she will not be able to take her medication, which is crucial to her recovery and staying healthy. So with all that being said she now has to have two surgeries. First a small one for her esophagus and then her big one, the Bypass Surgery. As I am sure you all know just Bypass Surgery alone is a very long healing process and now she is waiting to have this other procedure done first, so now there is more and more time being added to the time she will be unable to work. Most of you know my mom has her own cleaning business and has amazing clients but unfortunately while she is recovering she will not be able to return to work thus having absolutely no income. So I have decided to put this GoFundMe together for her. My mother loves taking care of people especially her family and her CLIENTS. My hopes and prayers are that we can all now come together to help make sure she is well taken care of and has nothing to worry about during her recovery. My mother of course wants to go back to work as soon as possible but as her daughter and I know I speak for my brother and all of her grandchildren as well, I want her home healing and recovering for as long as the doctors and her surgeon says she needs to. When I spoke to the cardiologist with my mother yesterday he said she needs to be out of work (due to her occupation being physical) for 2 1/2-3 months and no driving for that long as well. We all just want to help her the best we can so we all have this amazing woman for 30 more years. We would all be so grateful if you can donate, no amount is to small and if you cant donate we also are accepting prayers and well wishes. Each one is needed just as much as the next. If you can also share this to any social media platform you use we would greatly appreciate it! You truly do not know how much this means to all of us! I want to thank you all in advance for just taking the time to read this. I do not know how I would be able to go on living my own life without my mother. So I need to do everything in my power to make sure she has everything she needs to feel comfortable staying home till the doctors say she is ok to return to work! I will most definitely be posting updates as we find out more as well as when her surgery is. Thank you all again and please stay healthy and safe! Read more
