2025 has been such a crazy year with my health all over the place. It started back in December of 2024 when I went into a coma. There has been been much speculation has to what caused that coma but no one seems to be able to determine the cause. The doctors told my parents that I had a twenty percent chance of surviving. That my pupils were fixed and dilated. But by the grace of God, I survived and within a week I was discharged and allowed to go home. I thought that was the end of the drama. Little did I know it was only the beginning. 

I started having what they called AMS (Altered Mental Status) episodes. We just call them Episodes now. Basically, I lose touch with reality for about three or four days. I turn into what can only be described as a little kid. I come to and have no memory of anything that happened during that time. I have done some pretty crazy stuff like cutting my hair, driving my car, playing with knives. It’s very scary and I am seeing some of the best neurologists in the country. Test after test reveals no answers. I spent 11 days in ICU in October and then 5 days in December. My triglycerides were 9000!!!! My body is screaming out for help and no one knows how to help it. 

I could use any help that you could offer. I know that I have some really intelligent friends who are doctors. If you feel like digging into my case, I would love to give you all the details. And as you can imagine the doctor bills are getting insane. I would appreciate anything that you could give financially. And finally but not least of anything, I covet all your prayers. 

i will try to keep everyone updated but my mind doesn’t work so well. Thank you for anything that you can do!!!! 

Love you all!!!

A Great Big Hi to All My Friends and Family!

i wanted to write to you today because I have an urgent request. The episodes I am having of altered mental status are getting worse and my doctors in Houston want to try something called IVIG. It is extremely expensive and very hard to get approved through the insurance. I was finally able to get it approved but only if I get it done in Houston. For reference, that’s about five hours from me. For this infusion you have to begin with a loading dose of five days, about five hours each day. This means I will be staying in a hotel for that time. 

If it is possible for any of you to give anything to help with these expenses it would be so appreciated. Every little bit counts so don’t think that your gift is too small. Also, please pray for me as I will be alone for the majority of the time. My boyfriend can only get off for two of the days. For the rest of the time I will be alone. I am scared that I might have an episode and try to do any sort of thing in Houston. So please pray that all goes well. 

Thank you all so much!! I appreciate all that you do for me. Have a great day!!
