Mom in Coma Might Save My Daughter's Life

Chiari Malformation is when the brain starts deviating into the spinal column. It often presents with Hydrocephalus (Water on the Brain). I have the latter, but not Chiari Malformation. I'm so sorry your mother couldn't be saved. You should take legal action against that hospital. Appalling. I'm sending you all my love. 💜

A lot of what you are going through mentally is a grieving process, true she is still alive but you are being told she will never be the same again . Give yourself grace and time to absorb the new situation and make sense of all of this . Remember if you don’t take care of yourself you can’t take care of anyone else. Sending both of you prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

[@CynthiaThornton-rm4zg]

I have praying for your mom ever since, you let the fans know about her aneurysm. I’m so sorry about her strokes and the coma. Don’t lose your faith and hope that she will pull through her trauma and health issues. I’m so empathic, I cried and told God to send love and healing to your mom today. I feel your pain God bless your entire family. Keep us updated Andrea.

[@koc4787]

Continuing the prayers for all of you! So glad you're on top of Abigail's health. Sending love to you all from Wisconsin.

[@laurieowen7167]

Praying for your mom and family. My daughter was diagnosed at 6 with Chiari Malformation. She never had to have surgery for it but still gets terrible headaches but has learned several ways to handle them. Try and get Abigail into a pediatric neurosurgeon that knows what Chiari is and have them give her a MRI.

[@agusguti]

It's amazing that it wasn't bad enough to need surgery 🙌🏼 . The pain is strong anyway I know. But once you start moving your brain around is not good

[@jahkingdom]

I know how you feel Andrea, I wont go into details of what I went through with my Mum but the sights and smells, noises and seeing your parent in that way in hospital, it is so hard to comprehend. It toughens you up mentally somehow because sometimes thats your automatic way to be able to cope with it. What you say about should you get healthy or whats the point, of course you should get healthy without doubt, not one of us will be here forever, whilst we're are here we owe it to ourself and our loved ones to look after ourself in the best way we possibly can. It makes sense to look after your health and reduce your chances of illness and that means more chance to enjoy life and be with our loved ones. You've got really look after yourself in this situation, its good that you're recognising that and taking time out when you need it, so important. Still thinking of your Ma every day and hoping praying for her recovery. Bless 🌞

oh Andrea, I am praying for your family, i have always felt close bond with you, my mom had a aneurysm when she was 36, she was in hospital for over year, and has never really been same person. She wasn't meant to live beyond a few years and she's 60 now but severely disabled and has been since the stroke.

[@JenniferMarie1990]

Glad to hear your mom is slowly waking up. Will continue praying for her definately.

Andrea, your health will give you more years with your precious children. That is the main point. I hope Abigail is ok. Maybe she needs to go in for a brain scan.

[@MichelleGagnon-g6g]

VT Lisa here. I found Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida specializes in treating with a team for EDS. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT. Love to you all. I remember Abigails sonograms where you were told she had no cerebellum. Crazy. Frightening.

[@FoolyLiving]

I called them before any of this happened. I know it says they have a clinic in FL but they do not. If I wanted to go to any Mayo Clinic, its $5,000 cash before I can make an appointment because they do not take my insurance. I cant even make this stuff up.... Thats just to walk in, not to get testing done to see which type we have or try to get any kind of treatment. I cried on the phone, literally nothing for us atm.

Andrea, virtually everything you say deeply hits my heart. I’m going through this with my nephew who has been in a coma, now DOC (disorder of consciousness) since May. The fluttering of the eyes, such a huge deal; every single stroke is a gazillion steps backwards. The list goes on and on. Thank you for posting because you just put into words ALL the crazy issues with medical staff, medications, heartbreaking ups and downs, the future, the teeny and major victories . In one minute everyone’s life is changing forever. Please do take care of yourself by taking a personal mental health day or two. Thank you and many many blessings for your entire family.

Andrea you're right it's so hard to see the first person to love care and protect you be so vulnerable and suffering. It's horrible. I feel you on wanting to be there but you just mentally can't it's hard when you want to be in there for them but you gotta take the time to get away from the worry pain beeps smells sights and information its sensory overload. You'll go through every emotion you can imagine. I'm hugging you from afar right now My prayers are going to be with you all. ❤❤❤ Give yourself some grace, Love from Virginia

[@kristenleblond5047]

Esther is always in my prayers. I just found out yesterday, my 43-year-old nephew was given Monjourno for his diabetes. He also has a rare form of MS and has been wheelchair-bound essentially in his early 30's. Because of the mon journo, he had a severe allergic reaction to that. He ended up having some sort of an episode, not really knowing what type of episode other than aspiration. He is currently on a vent and has been on one for 13 days as of today. The doctors are saying that he needs a miracle, so if you all could maybe put a little extra prayer in for my nephew, Andrew, I sure would appreciate it.

[@FoolyLiving]

That is why they intubated my mom, they were scared of aspiration pneumonia. I am praying that your nephew comes out of it, and I bet he will, since he already has a high pain tolerance with the MS! You just never know with those types of medicines, if you will be allergic to it. I was scared to take my initial dose and I still have it. My insurance wont pay for any more, so there was no point in taking the first dose. I cannot pay cash for it atm. I was always scared to do the IV iron infusions as well because if I have an allergy to it randomly, then I'd be in the hospital just like your nephew. You literally cannot predict these things. One time you may get it and it will be fine, and another time its not. I do wish these medications were honestly tested and reported about so we would have better information on allergy to them! I will definitely be holding him up in prayer. He is young, and thats a big thing for recovery

[@MiMiLovesCrochet]

Heeey! I wanted to tell you for the longest time - you remember that Unicorn dress you gave Abigail? it still fits her.. That was like 3 or 4 years ago and she just wore it the other day and I kept wanting to tell you lol. I dont know how it still fits! And Rafaels ninja outfit fits too, of course he chases Abigail around with it at least once a week rofl. My mom absolutely understands what I'm saying because I can see it in her actions and facial expressions. She raises her eyebrows when I say something questionable, like "youre doing so good, mom" and I can SEE her in that expression. I know she will never be the same, but she has slowly started to wake up and she is starting to mouth sentences and words. It is the weirdest thing to be blessed with 2 miracles, but that has got to be the power of prayer and she deserves to be here longer with her grandkids. She has done so much for everyone in this family, and I hope she gets that chance. Thanks so much

My 45 year old daughter has Chiari. She was finally diagnosed less than 10 years ago. She had the surgery less than a year later after having symptoms for years. There are so few doctors who know anything about this. Even the surgeon who did her surgery won't take her as a patient any more. He said he cured her with the surgery. In most cases, it does not cure. There is no cure. ER visits for the horrible headaches are all the same...."Chiari malformation? What is that?" Followed with pain meds that don't work and sent home after 4 hours in the ER.

[@susanasetas]

Everyday I pray for your mom, she is strong and she will ge through this. It's really unfortunate that doctors and nurses treat coma (or unresponsive) patients as if they are objects, it's not that hard to warn the patient that they're about to be poked or have a procedure done. It's basic human empathy... At least you and your family are there to tell her what's going on. Doctors clearly don't know everything, so don't lose hope! Things will get better. ❤

It's just all too much for anyone to go through. I've suffered many bouts with diverticulitis and i also suffer with TN, (Trigeminal Neuralgia) known as " the suicide disease" it's the most horrific pain on the left side of my face, it's neurological. I also have had to endure the deaths of both of my 17yo and 40yo sons. But Andrea this is just pure agony what you're having to endure. My mind is just blown away with what your precious mom is going through. I can just imagine all you think of is what she's going through and she can't even speak for herself. Bulldoze your way through those 3 doctors, keep them on their toes while you're in the room with your mom and tell it like it is with "all" the nurse's, you don't have to be on their good side but I know you're already 3 steps ahead of any of my advice. I will continue to pray that God's will for your mom is to get through this, if not then I pray God keeps her from anymore pain and I pray for little Abigais health as well.

Vermont Lisa. I’ve had cancer from the braca 2 gene like a lot of women. All family on my Dads side had that and ovarian. Ok enough about me. My point; I keep coming back to this video because you are right! No health, no life. I have to believe there is a reason that I just need to have faith. Even my Dad passed away few years back with breast cancer. So hard and this video hit me hard because you are feeling exactly what I feel at times. Just teetering one way then the other. Life can be so hard. I chose to have hysterectomy because I found the drs saying to all my family extended “go home have your babies then hysterectomy “. I said nope, I am not going to ramp up my hormones and then not be there for my babies. Right decision for me. That is why I watch your kids grow up and just adore them and my neighborhood is full of kids. Always at my house after school. One on one or group homework. They feel special. Parents appreciate it. So apparently I didn’t need to have my own; there are lots of kids that need attention with adventures, riding a bike, feeling special and homework. Ive known them all since babies. Rafael and Abigail too. As much as I can.

Andrea, I am so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for you all and your Mother. I have not been well since Christmas and posted little but I kept wondering why FB was not showing my friends. Today you came up and I have been watching all about your mother and what happened. I know this must be so painful for you. I will be praying daily for her and for you all. My heart hurts for you but I believe it if it is God's will he can do anything. I know he did when 5 years ago they told me after a bad fall that I was going to die that night from the largest blood clot that was heart to lung that they had ever seen and I told God if it was my time, I was ready ..if not please leave me here. And I heard a voice in my heart say "don't worry. You will be ok." And then I saw Jesus. After the doctors left my son CJ who was with me through it all said "Mama..mama..you are going to be ok". I asked him did he see what I saw and he said "I didn't see anything Mama...I just heard a voice say "Don't worry son. She will be ok." So, keep your hope and faith going and give all the glory to God for he can do anything. I am praying and know I care so much. Your mom is a tough lady and God is even tougher. Love you. Lord, I lay Andrea's mother in your hands for you are the Great Physician and Healer and can do anything. I pray that if it is your will for her mother to remain here with Andrea and her family, that you will do it. I ask you please to flow your love and peace on Andrea,Hadar and the children so that they feel you close and so that her mother is comforted during this difficult time. I believe in you Lord. I pray in Christ's name Amen.

How is your Mom currently? In February 2024

[@jamiegeissler836]

My Dad had that and would have black out episodes. Basically his brain stem was too long and dangling along his spinal cord and compressing causing him to black out. They gave him medication (don't know what it was called) that he was supposed to take for life to help shrink the brain stem. Seemed to work because he is fine now and off the medication. There is hope :) hang in there.

[@agusguti]

I'm glad your dad is better. But there's a bit of mis information here, maybe you're confusing malformations. There's no medication in the world to help or cure chiari, There's only one thing to "treat" it: SURGERY and all it does for most people is stop developing more severity in symptoms but sometimes for some time only not forever. And the other thing is that the brain stem doesn't "shrink" it's not a tumor is a part of the brain!. Maybe he took some medicine that help him stabilize his balance to stop blacking out.

[@Intheyr2525]

I’m just as conflicted as you are after what my dearly departed husband went through - the pain and suffering is unbearable! It also left me with PTS. But I do know if I was in that position I would want a DNR - but that’s me. I’m praying for your mom, you and family🙏!

[@Java-D]

Both of my sons and I all have hEDS without pots. I have chiari malformation also. And, as you know, they all go hand in hand with autism too. None of us have heart issues from EDS, we’ve all been tested. I didn’t know it could cause brain aneurisms. I hadn’t ever seen or heard that before. I’m definitely going to look into to it! I pray your mom will continue to improve day by day. Edited to add: it’s pronounced key-are-eee. I had brain decompression surgery in 2012 where the surgeon removed a piece of my skull, cauterized off my hanging brain tonsils, untwisted them from my spinal cord, drilled a larger hole in my top 2 vertebrae, then patched my skull up with a bovine patch. 😬

[@ttdfanforlife]

I remember when you were pregnant and they couldn't find Abigail's cerebellum. I'm going to pray for all of you

[@starkieable]

I remember when my mother lived in TN and I went down to visit her, I live in NH so it was quite the drive. By the time we made it to TN i got a call from my mothers caregiver/family friend telling me that my mother had a seizure that was really bad so she was rushed to the hospital. When we got into the hospital I saw someone from across the room with their head wrapped in gauze and wires protruding from her head. I turned and told my husband how bad that person looked, and I hoped that wasn't my mother. We asked the head nurse where my mother was, and to my shock and dismay, the person with their head wrapped WAS my mother. She looked so helpless and a shell of what I remember her being. It was so surreal, and to know my mother and I are a lot alike it scares me that I may develop the things she has. I hope your mother gets better, It is extremely difficult to see a loved one you knew to be vibrant and busy to a former shell of themselves. I also hope that you take that hospital to court!

Oh Andrea,I am heartbroken for your mom and whole family.I am very sorry all this has happened.I loved your videos the most when your mom was in them😢,thinking of her here in Maine🙏Wish you could transport her to Boston,they are the best there.

Oh Andrea, my mum died of a brain aneurysm, my dad died 6 months later of an aortic aneurysm, I went to my doctors and begged to be investigated as I feel I am at risk. I was told to go away and it's not hereditary. I'm in uk and don't know how to get further opinions. I'm thinking about your mum every day. X

[@faith_treelivy]

So sorry. Keep trying other doctors. I asked a doctor (also uk) to check out my heart after several sudden deaths in the family, it’s hit or miss whether you’ll get a compassionate doctor. Keep trying and asking for different doctors.

I started therapy recently to process medical trauma from my sons severe medical issues. It has been helping a lot. Do you think you’d be open to that? This is all so traumatizing for you and I don’t want you to struggle alone 😢❤

[@adriennefeather5313]

I'm praying for you and your family. ❤

My sister has EDS without POTS, thankfully. You had blood clots since your "oldest" son was born, not your youngest. You are definitely suffering from aphasia. Also, they most likely didn't investigate a chiari malformation at birth with Abigail because she wasn't suffering from hydrocephalus, spina bifida, or showing any other related symptoms. Thank you for sharing such intimate and vulnerable information. All your thoughts and feelings are validated. I think this Vlog was healing for you. You are an extremely strong and brave woman, as is your mother. You are doing an amazing job just trying to exist, being present for your mother, and let alone taking care of your family. You are very lucky to have Hadar. He is wonderful in every way. I can't speak highly enough of how good he is with your children and dealing with all your health issues. You are both very special souls. Sending healing energy to your entire family, including the children. I know you are keeping them up-to-date, yet shielding them from the trauma of it all. Yet, they are still very affected and thankfully wonderfully taken care of by their parents. 💓

She has an older son named Zeb and I believe she is referring to Rafael who is her younger son.

You guys are always in my prayers.

My Dad has a ton of Blood issues ...he's 84. 2 major back surgeries the past 2 yrs....it's funny because he was put on Heparin and for some reason I did a bunch of homework on this med: The optimal duration of intravenous heparin treatment is five to seven days because this is the time needed to obtain an adequate and persistent reduction in the vitamin K dependent clotting factors with oral anticoagulants such as warfarin. Your Mom is so unique, rare and special, I'm so sorry she is allergic to this, as it's a staple in almost all surgeries to prevent blood clots.

Vermont Lisa here. KZbin Dr. Paul in one of his many videos talks of EDS. I’m not sure which one maybe toward the end. He know longer practices. Pediatrician. Take care. Prayers

[@MaryLouTido]

My daughters grandma died of a pulmonary embolisim. It ruptured when she was getting out of the shower.

[@alonaball5846]

Ahhhh !!! These old videos are driving me nuts lol I just want to know how everyone is you, your mom, the family, like this is making me bite my nails the anxiety!!! ARE YALL OK ?! Been so worried bc we are now in February of 2024 been watching for so long so its suspenseful!

[@kaylabrooke4224]

Thank you so much for sharing this all with us

[@brittanyrobinson6004]

I had to take my son to a children hospital and they where a lot of help for us and our family as well

[@deef3430]

This is so sad, Nursing care standards seem to be deteriorating, whilst all the equipment keeping you alive, personal care ie, hygiene, cutting nails, combing hair keeping comfortable and clean doesnt seem important. But it is. Prayers for Esther and your family.

[@mustlovedogs5569]

Because hospital cut funds to supply enough nurses to do all the things. We do the best we can. Blame the big managers

[@angelsbecca]

Watched you since the beginning. I'm sad for your mom. Worried for sweet abigail. Pleasecfeel my support

[@sharonflanagan2404]

Wow you all have been through so much 😥 sending prayers for your mom ❤️❤️🙏

[@B_kinda]

🙏🏼 This is super stressful. Remember to get good sleep and take care of yourself. Hope you have a great set of headphones. Music helped me. I’m kinda sick too. We need distractions 🤙🏽🎧

[@RugWashingASMR]

So sorry about everything you’re going through. Glad to read on the description grandma is holding on and getting a bit better each day. I’ll keep sending prayers! 🙏🏻 About the doctor that is true. But must be a Florida thing(oh how I miss living in NY!) because we moved here in 2019 and during covid I didn’t go to the doctor because I didn’t want to go if I wasn’t sick and risk catching covid and they almost dropped me and my husband as well! They said we haven’t been for couple years(again during covid I didn’t go anywhere) and they said if we don’t go for our yearly check up then they can drop us and we would have to start all over again as a new patient. So I’m like, I’m forced to come to a doctor’s office even if I don’t feel sick just so I can keep being a patient here?? It’s like a membership to a gym or something! Is this about money? Has to be right? I know it’s good to go once yearly but if you feel fine then I don’t see a reason to go and have to spend the money. Because our insurance is not great and we have a very high co-pay so each visit we pay 100% until we meet a certain deductible. It’s ridiculous! And I don’t remember being like this in NY. Also what you said about doctors just don’t care I feel it’s true for Florida as well. They don’t care or don’t have doctors! I’m trying to find a pediatric allergist for my son in Naples and I’ve been told to drive 2 hours to Sarasota for one!! I have a friend who has EDS in NY, her and her two kids all have it and apparently doctors there are great for this condition. I wish the doctors here were great too. I don’t understand it. Looking forward to moving back to NY one day. My friend always told me people move to Florida to die. I used to laugh at her and think she was just mad that I was leaving NY and our friendship and moving so far away from her but now I totally understand and believe what she said. The health care system here is horrific!! Hang in there Andrea! Please think about creating a gofundme account for your mom’s bills. You have a lot of subscribers and a lot of us who love and care so much about every single one of you. Every little bit helps. ❤🙏🏻 Thanks for the update and looking forward to more.

[@fionafifi7029]

Yes a GoFundMe would help for her mother and daughter aswell

[@RugWashingASMR]

@@fionafifi7029 wish she would see my comments and set one up. More people have suggested the same. Also when the time is right I’d look into a lawsuit against the hospital! Doctors now a days need to be more aware and careful! They almost killed my mother twice at two different times when she had two stents put in. The second time was even worse than the first. And they hide so much information!! She had complications the first time so we brought up these complications when she was there to have it done the second time and those original complications that we were told about the first time weren’t even on her chart!! The doctor is looking and saying. 🤔 ummm I don’t see any notes about this happening, are you talking about the time we had to use the paddles on her to bring her back?” My sister and I looked at each other like WHAAAAAT?????? That happened????? We were never told about that!!! It’s a sad sad situation! I had to go to the ER about almost a year ago for blood transfusions due to low iron and I was so scared if I was going to come back home alive! They kept me over night and each time a new nurse or doctor came in the room they were like: “soooo what brings you in here today?” I’m like for real???? I have a blood bag drip going, I’ve only been here since yesterday afternoon and not one of you know why I am even here????? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@lindaberg9161]

Andrea....I am sonsad what all is going on in the hospital....this is aweful.....😢😢😢😢 God bless you all❤❤❤

[@lindasplace2727]

Thank God you got my esp message about the gummy bears and blood clots 🤣 The peg tube will eliminate the need for the tube in her nose so that will provide a bit more comfort. She’s lucky to have such a wonderful advocate as you! ❤

[@carousel15drummond92]

And hope all ok for little Abigail 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰

[@JodiMack-kd1ct]

[@tennillegordon4768]

I was diagnosed with POTS over 15 years ago and my daughter was diagnosed at 11 ( she is 23 now) and it truly sucks. My daughter is very controlled with diet and exercise. Me on the other hand, have had a hell of a time. Brain fog has really been bad the older i get. I also get the numbness all over before i pass out. Luckily there is a lot more known about Dysautonomia now, where little to nothing was known just 10 years ago. Will keep yall in my prayers.

[@buns2380]

I remember when you went through that with Abigail, Please find a Hospital to take her to there has to be a Children’s Hospital somewhere around you. I will be praying for her and your Mom, you have to be so stressed I know when I was going through things with my Husband and I didn’t Cry for a while because I didn’t want to he to see me upset but the day I did I went the some friends shopping and all of a sudden I just fell apart so glad I was with my friends. I do know what you are saying about not wanting to see her that way I feel that way about my Husband. I am praying for you so hard, Love and Hugs!

[@susanbroderick4197]

Hi Andrea sending big hugs for you and your mum and dad all the family 🤗🙏🏻xxx ❤

[@esmekapea4298]

I hope everything gets better for your family

[@meredythkern5633]

I remember when you were pregnant with Abigail and they had told you that that was scary. Glad she was OK when she was born.
