Our dear friend, Tammy (Rica) Wallace, needs your help! She's met again with ongoing and increasing medical expenses that she can no longer afford. Around Easter of 2014, Tammy was diagnosed with cellulitis in her arm, which spread to her back, and lead to the discovery of an abcess on her spine....

Tammy has been moved to a room, is still unresponsive, and her ammonia levels are still high. They are taking her off of the machine to help her breathe more slowly, and are calling in hospice. Please continue to surround her and her family with love.

After being sent home, Tammy is back in the hospital today. Her ammonia levels are very high, her liver isn't functioning properly, and she's in a coma-like state. She's still in the ER. Will update with more info.

Tammy came home from the hospital in time for the holidays, but has been admitted again with fever, vomiting, and 50 lbs. of retained fluid. We will be creating a GoFundMe account to raise money for her again to help cover her medical bills and at-home care, and we will be listing some items on eBay for her as well. We'll share the links with you soon!

Unfortunately, Tammy's blood counts weren't good enough for her to come home today, so she's still in the hospital, but she continues to improve.

The doctor said that Tammy is doing well enough that she may be able to come home tomorrow! He also said that, since she's improved so much over the last couple of days, that she might be able to tolerate surgery.

Update on Tammy: She is still at MCA hospital, alert and aware. She has had several tests done, and her biopsy tested positive for adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer of glandular tissue) of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus.) She is currently not a candidate for chemo or surgery, and there are some complications with blood clotting and the medication she takes regularly. She and her family are waiting to see what her options for treatment are. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers! Will update with more info.

Hi, everyone, Tammy is in the hospital due to severe hemorrhage. She has received blood several times; the bleeding has stopped, and she is more alert today. Will update with more info.
