Jessica is a 24-year-old young adult from Carolina Beach who one day came into the hospital and was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. She had her gallbladder removed but that didn’t help. She came back in and began to have vision, hearing, and mobility issues. She has had seizures, aspirated, and went to the ICU and is currently on her third inpatient admission in the critical care unit. Jessica has been diagnosed with the rarest of Guillain Barre Syndrome known as AMSAN. She has permanent nerve damage and is currently paralyzed from the neck down and on ventilation.
Jessica’s iPad broke and really needed it to communicate. Meg’s Smile Foundation rushed an iPad to her hospital room so that she could continue to keep in touch with her family and friends. Jessica’s parents noted, “It was great to see her so surprised and happy! She said she wants to hug Meg’s Mom and cried tears of joy. We can’t thank you enough for this special moment and gift!
Because of your support – we can help our friends like Jessica. Thank You!!
