Josie’s Spine Surgery

My dearest wife Josie Jane Paloma 29yrs old is a very loving wife and a mother to our 2 year old son. For those who knows her you will agree that she is an amazing person always jolly and an extraordinary human being for she is strong despite real life problems.

She puts others welfare first and let her to be always the less priority. She is the eldest among 2 kids. We have a very cute son aged 2yr. We were happy as a family spending each day with laughter like there's no tomorrow until 2 months ago.

Late Sep.2017 when she first felt the unbearable pain oh her lower back. She didn't mind it because she is a super woman. Come first week of October she can't even get up from the bed so I rushed her to the e.r. We were relieved that it was just a muscle spasm. Pain killers were administered and as for the doctors 2 weeks rest and pain will be gone.

After 2 weeks Its difficult for me to see my wife having such pain. Instead of going to the e.r we asked for referral.

First, we met a spine specialist. He requested for MRI. The result came back and we don't know what to do. The doctor said it's not an easy fix. We were referred to the next doctor and requested for a more detailed scan with contrast as they found a cyst.

Second doctor, spine surgeon said he won't be best doctor for it but referred us to a neurologist.

Third doctor, neurologist said that it is an unusual case of spine inflammation that my wife needed to be seen by a neurosurgeon.

For our fourth doctor the neurosurgeon advised my wife she needed to undergo a spine operation a.s.a.p. or more complication will occur.

They found multiple thoracic cyst that's pressing the spinal cord drastically. They need to drain and put a shunt on her spine to remove excess fluid.

This are all jargons for us and I always wish that this is just a bad dream and anytime I can wake up and assure myself that its not for real this is really happening and i want her to healed and be able to play with our son again.

The surgery will cost 300,000 php we can't afford the operation fee with the situation we are facing now.

She is currently on leave from work which is very difficult as I am the only one working for the family. Right now the only solution to get her back on track is to have the surgery.

We are knocking to everyone's kind heart and hoping that at this dark point of our lives you will become our light.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
