Shayna’s health journey
Help Shayna and her family navigate this difficult time through surgery and recovery.
Taranaki
Shayna has been dealing with gut related illnesses for a long time, but has recently been diagnosed with a duodenal adenoma that needs to be removed. It is in a difficult spot, which means she is having a procedure called whipples surgery in Auckland. This will mean she has 25cm of bowel removed, gallbladder, part of her stomach and quite possibly her pancreas removed.
Shayna will be in Auckland hospital for at least 11 days, and could possibly be there up to 6weeks.
This also means her partner (David) taking time off work to support her.

Use of funds
Shayna’s partner (David) will have to pay money towards accommodation in Auckland, travel and food. Meanwhile still having to pay for mortgage, bills, animal care, and kids.
Any dollar you can spare will help, thank you!

Latest update
It’s definitely a journey! 12 October 2023
Sorry been awhile between updates, been super busy with Alexia and Sophie. 🥰
if you want more frequent update from the horses mouth, I suggest you join ‘Shayna’s health journey’ FB page.
Shayna has been pretty unwell and spewing up bile everyday. Her stomach and bowels have basically just gone to sleep after surgery and she just have to wait for them to wake up.
She’s still in quite a bit of pain, especially when vomiting/hiccups/ burps.
She still hasn’t eaten properly nor has she got an appetite. They put in a new feeding tube the other day and and she is having IV nutrients to try boost her nutrition.
Shayna has also had a blood transfusion due to her blood thinning out and is harder for the body to move oxygen around the body so it's required some extra red blood cells to help out.
On the plus side…
Her blood sugars are still under control - so no diabetes at this stage.
Her kidneys haven’t been affected 👏🏼
And her scar is healing very nicely!
Thank you to everyone for the kind thoughts and words and donations, we appreciate you all very much 🥰❤️🩹💕
