Hello, First of all this is going to be very hard and I hope everyone who reads this will try to help as well as get a small understanding. If you can't help Adrienne maybe a child in her situation. Adrienne's 22 yr old mother Holly passed away on Dec. 12 2006. Holly was abused by her boyfriend and from the abuse was left with a brain hemerage. The abuse happened around Thanksgiving and Holly has been having major headaches. She was in hospital in Port Huron, Michigan and sent home with the believe she was ok. She then returned to hospital in Sandusky, Michigan with headaches and sickness. Holly was then flown to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw Michigan where she was kept for further observation. On Dec. 11 2006 Holly was close to being sent home again believing she was going to be ok. Later on that same day Holly fell asleep. When her sister tried to wake her she was unable to do so, Holly was in a deep coma. The doctors began emergency brain surgery to relieve the pressure, Then holly was placed on a respirator and fed life only by support. Her father flew in from florida, and her mother and 2 sisters, and also Adrienne were at the Hospital. Dec 12 2006 the Hospital performed a cat scan, an EEG, and a brain blood flow test. All were deemed negative and Holly was pronounced Brain Dead. Holly's father and mother had to decide what to do and felt enough was done and life support was removed. Holly passed away with friends and family in attendence outside and father and mother in the room. Adrienne was downstairs in the lobby and was not aware but only asked for her mother numerous times. It was a very sad day. Adrienne and Holly bothed lived with Holly's mom in Sandusky Michigan. Along with 2 of Holly's sisters Courtney and melissa. Courtney is currently pregnant, and Melissa is a junior in high school. Holly's mom Ann is a single mother who works at a parts plant in Michigan. Most of the family is dealing with funeral and all arrangements needed for this situation but the one concern is we don't want Adriennes Christmas altered in anyway. Financially we are just unable to do anymore. Ann is in a tough situation here because she will be raising Adrienne now and She has alot to bear in the coming days and weeks and beyond. The main reason for this plea is due to My personal experience a few years back when i was unemployed due to a layoff and the folks of Ebay helped me and my family. I also would like to let everyone know That when I got back to work I also returned the faith and helped families thru my workplace with food and gift donations. The main things Adrienne loves are her Baby Dolls, Her Dora toys and games, Videos, She is in need of clothes,She is currently in 3T but close to 4T, and any other help that you great folks could offer. My e-mail is LIVINEZDON@HOTMAIL.COM, PLEASE! contact me if someone has questions or could help us in this desperate time of need. If someone has any information where I may go for further help, or ideas to reach out, please let me know. Thank you all for your help.
