Alexes, our 13 yr-old
granddaughter, has severe scoliosis. It has reached the point that the
spine is now wrapping around the heart. She is preparing for an Oct. 7,
2015 surgery at UPMC Childen's Hospital Pittsburgh, a 4-hour procedure
using screws, plates and wires to straighten it out. Post surgery will
necessitate a 5-day hospital stay. Afterwards, she will be bedridden for
1-month followed by a 6-month period of non-activity.
Alexes has 6 siblings, ranging in ages 9 to 15. This whole experience puts the entire family under tremendous strain of all kinds. Transportation expense from Altoona to Pittsburgh is and will continue to mount along with expenses incurred for care for her siblings while her parents tend to Alexes.
Prayers, positive energy, financial and any other form of assistance will be greatly appreciated. Please help! Thanks and Blessings!
