Emy’s Story

Site created on July 30, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated and to offer ways to help Emy and her family. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

As we all know by now, our dear friend Emy has been through so much these past few weeks. Physically, we all believe she is on the road to healing and a full recovery.

You may or may not know, but both Emy and Scott (her husband) are self-employed. Basically, if they can’t/don’t work they don’t have an income coming in. I know one of Emy’s many worries while she was in the hospital is that she’s unable to fulfill orders, which means little to no income. Scott has been doing his best to continue working, taking care of the kiddos (with the help of Tori & Gary), and still do everything he can for Emy. It goes without saying, they could use a little help.

I’ve had numerous people ask how they can help. After speaking with Tori (Emy’s sister) we decided the best way would be through the following options:

1) You can make a donation directly through Emy’s Paypal account using her email address: emyiskra@yahoo.com. Please remember to select “family and friends” when it asks what type of payment is being made. This will be prevent you or Emy from getting charged a fee. *If you wish to make a donation anonymously please feel free to send your donation to Ami Hannahs’ PayPal and she will transfer all donations directly to Emy’s PayPal account: alynnh1974@gmail.com.

2) Gift cards of your choosing (Meijer, Walmart, restaurants, etc). Emy’s address is:

Journal entry by Ami Hannahs — Jul 30, 2019

As many of you already are aware, after suffering a migraine for over a week Emy ended up in the hospital diagnosed with two aneurysms. A few days later, during surgery to correct the aneurysms the surgeons discovered she also had an arterial dissection in her neck. A few days into her recovery she then suffered a stroke that resulted in another exploratory surgery where several blood clots were discovered.

The doctors are treating all of this with pain management and blood thinners. Two weeks in the hospital and she is finally home as of Tuesday, July 30!
