My friend Kelly is a single mom who was put on medical leave due to her health and is needing all the help she can get to keep up on bills, past medical bills, as well as future ones until she can/if go back to work. She has been in and out of the hospital 9 times since Christmas and was told she had a Carotid Artery Aneurysm, if you are not sure what that is exactly I'll leave a definition below. Doctors are unable to do surgery because of where the aneurysm is and believe that it would be too much of a risk. It's hard seeing her under so much stress when that is the last thing she should be doing. So if we could help just take alittle of that burden off her shoulders, I know she would be greatly appreciative.. Thank you!
A bulge in the wall of an artery in your neckThe carotid arteries are the two main blood vessels on either side of the neck that supply blood to the brain. An extracranial carotid artery aneurysm stretches out the walls of a portion of the artery in the neck like a balloon, causing the walls to become very thin. This differs from an intracranial carotid artery aneurysm, in which the bulge appears in the portion of the artery located inside the brain. These aneurysms can create blood clots that can break loose and cause a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. They can also tear, causing life-threatening bleeding.
