Support Bronwyn and her new life with an amputated leg

Update: Mum is booked to have the leg amputation surgery Friday morning. From here we pray shell fight and make it through the surgery with her conditions, for the following 3 to 4 days afterwards mum will be in a pretty critical state. Her body will either accept the change or it won't and will give away.

A few weeks ago my mum became very sick and was rushed to hospital after having high fevers and severe blisters in her left leg. When she got to the hospital she was diagnosed with cellulitis and from her body trying so hard to fight this infection she also developed sepsis. She was in ICU for about a week with medication artificially keeping her Blood Pressure normal while she fought this life-threatening organ failing condition. About a week later she recovered from the sepsis and was moved to a ward. Mum was then put on antibiotics to fight the cellulitis. A few weeks pass and mums infection has not improved and we now face another challenge ahead. Yesterday our family had a meeting with the doctors about mum's options. We were told the only options for her now is to either have a full left leg amputation or to live life with this infection leaving her with a painful leg and constantly having to change dressings. Either option will severely impact our family as my dad is unable to work due to his conditions and my sister is not working at the moment either due to helping mum. Either option will also leave mum unable to walk. The funds will be used to help my mum and our family transition into her new life whatever her end decision may be. She is strongly for the amputation as this gives her a 50/50 survival rate instead of 30 with keeping the leg as keeping her leg will eventually infect her whole body.
