Latest update as of May 06, 2024

  • Removal from machines

    Since the last update Mary was taken back into the OR to remove blood that was around her heart. That surgery was a success and her levels have remained stable. She is scheduled to go back to the OR again today in order to fully close her chest up and also remove her from ECMO. She is scheduled to be removed from the vent tomorrow. She is still sedated but when she does wake is able to answer yes/no questions. They are keeping her on main medication and keeping her relaxed. Please pray for her as she endures the rest of these machines and this next surgery!


About this fundraiser

Greetings Friends and Family. Our treasured sister Mary (Ahlman) is being told that she needs a new heart and also that she is near the top of the transplant list for one! While thankfully her insurance is going to pay for the majority of her medical expenses, there are various needs that she and her care team have for before, during and after the actual surgery. Some of these expenses include therapy, living, travel, food, medications, insurance deductibles, and unemployment stints.  While we don't yet know the extent of some of these costs we wanted to give people the opportunity to show Mary our support during the journey that she has and will be on. 

Thank you to all whether you give financially or not. However it looks lets show her some love and join her in this season and journey.
