Surgery needs:


We fly in a month!!! WHAT WILL THE NEEDS BE? 

PRAYER:  Prayer to cover the doctors and hospital staff; for her safety; for safety in travel; that surgery will be a success; for her pain management; for the rest of her medical system that will be affected like her bladder and GI track; for her comfort; for the physical, mental and emotional state of her and all of us; for the Lord to meet the physical and financial needs listed below:

PERSONAL CARE: Wynter will require ALL of her daily personal care to be done FOR her:
-       Care and cleaning of the 8 pins at least twice a day (this will require at least 2 people)
-       Body cast care; Feeding (needs things cut small and fed TO her); Toileting; Sponge bathing
-       Hair cleaning (with out getting the cast wet);  Skin care under the cast;  Constant monitoring while she plays and manipulates through her day to ensure she doesn’t fall; Someone to help with housecleaning/ errands/ transportation when we return;  Other unknowns yet

SPECIAL ITEMS:
-       All of her clothes will have to be 2-3 sizes too big, then strategically cut and manipulated to fix up and around the 4 metal bars;  She will need a very special car seat to accommodate the halo; Wheelchair or stroller to accommodate the halo;  Sterile medical supplies for halo, body cast and wounds;  Other unknowns yet

FINANCIAL:
-       Airfare for Mom and Wynter to get to and from Philadelphia several times, fist for surgery and then for post ops over the next 2 years.
-       Gas, hotel, meals for Dad and brother to travel to Philadelphia for surgery.
-       Funds for hotel (7-10 days)/ meals/ maintenance while in Philadelphia for 3 weeks.
-       Funds to pay the mortgage an electric bills since I will be unable to work for those 3 weeks.
-       Funds for the special medical supplies, clothes, DME equipment needed. A TOTAL OF ABNOUT $6000 for the initial surgery, and $1500 for each additional post op visit.

  1. I promise it will NOT require two people to clean the pins! I know it's hard not to over-think things, but the pins really aren't that big of a deal once you get used to them, get a system figured out, etc.
