Hi friends and strangers. I am not sure how to really convey what my family is going through at this time. Personally, this hits home in more ways than one. It's a sudden tragedy and we are trying to grapple with it as best as we can but pain is pain and it’s part of the healing process. What should not be a worry but often time is, is having to cover sudden costs which us why we are here asking for your help. The story: On the morning of July 4th my mom found my grandma unresponsive on the bathroom floor. She was bleeding from the head and muttering to my mom when she tried to get her to respond. Where she lives, and where I lived a large part of my life, matters quite a bit because in the critical moments that follow a head injury it could mean the difference between life and death. In this unfortunate scenario they were located in Maricopa, CA which puts the nearest hospital 30min+ away if they’re booking it. At the hospital we were told that the doctors had never seen a brain bleed so big and that there was nothing they could really do about it and the odds of survival were very slim. According to them she was continuing to bleed slowly still and all they could really do was hope for a miracle. Unfortunately that miracle hasn’t arrived and we were told that at best she might come out of it in some vegetative state. It was decided that today on July 5th my Grandma would be taken off of all life support which meant no ventilator. The doctors said she could continue to breathe on her own for a few more days but would slowly fade. She has been given medication to ease the transition so she does not feel any pain. However, there is not much that can be done for our pain both emotional and at the onset of financial hardships to come. This is America after all and the healthcare (or lack of) system is completely crap and were are here asking for any donation you guys could make because anything helps and if not then we please ask for you to share this post because that helps more than you realize.
