Help Amanda to see her children grow up

  • Car crash after a Siezure

      19 December 2015

    Hi everyone, Just letting you know that we nearly lost Amanda at the beginning of last week. she had a seizure when she was in her car and rushed by ambulance to Wellington Hospital and on the way had several more seizures. she was put in induced coma until they decided what should be done next. That afternoon they did emergency brain surgery which saved her life. She was in ICU for another day and then moved to the neuro ward to be watched 24 hours just in case she had another seizure. She has been so brave and we took her home yesterday.

    She is weak on her left side and still slightly disorientated but with lots of love and rest I know she will move forward and upward every day. She is home now and she is safe. She hates hospitals with a passion having spent so much time in them recently.

    This give a little fund expires on 23rd Dec. we are wanting to get her on Keytruda asap. so if you would like to assist before it closes, please do.

    Thank you everyone for the wonderful support, generosity and love all her friends and love ones have shown her. She is a fighter and she will get through this I know. We want her here for her two gorgeous girls, Alex 5 and Cameron 10.

    thank you again.

    For Amanda my beautiful girl.

    from Amanda's Mum Anne

  • the next part of Amanda's Journey

      10 December 2015

    Hi everyone who has donated to Amanda's life. She very much appreciates the generosity of all her friends and family and even people who don't even know her.

    A week ago we met with a Specialist in Auckland about getting this new "Keytruda" transformational drug that has been talked about a lot in the media with Pharmac saying they need more data to look at funding it. So we went to Auckland to get a quote on how much we would need if Amanda was to go on this course.

    We have put that out there for the new year as first of all Amanda will have to have another brain surgery as the one of the tumours they took out in her last surgery a few months ago has started to grow again.

    So next Wed 16th of December Amanda will be operated on again.

    She is such a brave girl and her hair was just starting to grow back as well. But hey if it keeps her with us and offers her quality of life, that is the most important thing as she well understands. Beauty is within and that is definitely the case with my beautiful girl.

    We will keep you updated on how the operation goes next week and thank you every one for your wonderful support.

    AMANDA AND ANNE (HER MUM)
