      isn't it against mfp guidelines to use someone else's account?

      I have to say, I'm surprised that with all this devastation you would think to log onto your wife's fitness app account of all things and post multiple (since edited) threads with a link to donate books and 'other stuff'. One would expect you to be caught up caring for your wife, etc etc

      Whatever gets you through, I suppose.

      Hope everything turns out okay for y'all.

      And money.

      You will be in my prayers. It was discovered that my daughter had Springomyelia in 2010.( caused from a brain bleed at birth) Her Hydroceplus was out of control and a shunt was placed. She has had problems with horrible nerve pain in arms and legs and headaches, temperature control issues.It was discovered when a X-ray of back. It took 4 surgical procedures before the situation was corrected. Kaylas neurologist consulted with Boston Children's to suggest placing a stent in her brain near her cerebellum using ultrasound. These procedures occcured over 3-4 year timeframe. Pain control issues have been very difficult to control. Things ok now. Has a lot of other medical conditions. I will pray that God puts knowledable neurosurgeons in your path to come up with a successful plan.

      My wife Heather was fairly active here on MFP and has made a lot of friends on here.

      This is her account.

      She just turned 30 and needs life saving brain surgery. She was training for a triathlon and woke up one day unable to feel her legs paralyzed forever.

      This is personal and it has been a very hard 6 months for my family, Heather became paralyzed in her legs, and also lost a lot of other motor and nerve function skills such as ability to speak at times, fine motor movement and it even effects or arms and other things like eyesight which vary day to day.

      We just learned that Heather has rare lifelong neurological conditions (Chiari & Syringomyelia) which are life threatening and she is facing brain surgery after just turning 30 last month.

      She also will be going through several months of inpatient brain injury and spinal injury physical therapy, plus the 18 month recovery time from her brain surgery.

      So needless to say, Heather has been unable to participate like she had hoped on here the last 6 months after being so active.

      Please pray for my wife, our family is just very overwhelmed with all of this.
