It has been brought to my attention...
... that I did not post over here and that some of you might be interested in helping with a very important project.
This is a copy of the post I made to the Alabama Board on behalf of Julie Campbell:
As most of you know, Julie Campbell has been very sick for a very long time. She is in constant pain, she is not able to take in enough food or water to support life, her esophagus is eroding from constant vomiting, her health is deteriorating, and she is in need of a revision of WLS. The surgeon who originally performed Julie's surgery is no longer able to manage her care and has referred her to Dr Freeman in Anniston. Dr Freeman has graciously agreed to treat Julie and to do the revision.
She has undergone numerous tests and it is certain that she cannot continue to live without surgery. Her anastomosis site is almost completely closed, there are abnormal kinks and twists in her intestines, and there is likely a large amount of adhesions.
Julie has never asked for anything except prayers. She is always faithful to her church and to this board. She has been supportive and encouraging to others while her health continues to decline but the time has come that she URGENTLY needs our help.
It was known from the beginning that her insurance would not cover the surgery but we thought it would cover her hospital stay. On Friday (March 9), her insurance denied any coverage. She must have 100% of the bill up front to even be admitted to the hospital. The estimated cost for an uncomplicated surgery with 5 admission days is $18,500 (eighteen thousand five hundred). This amount has been discounted for her and cannot be reduced any lower but can go higher. However, she can be admitted and have this life saving surgery if we can raise the $18,500.
Julie's life is at stake and everyday that passes is another day is another day that her health deteriorates even more, making it more difficult to for her to fully recover from surgery.
Julie's Home Health nurse reports that Julie's condition is GRAVE and requests that she try to live each day to the fullest. For this reason we ask that you do not PM or email her with questions regarding her health. You may PM either myself, Lindy, Carmen or Louise. We will gladly reply.
There are several ways you can make a donation. You can mail the a check directly to Julie, you can mail a check to Dr Freeman (for Julie Campbell's account), or you can use the paypal account that has been set up for this purpose.
Email or PM me for Julie's address.
