Summer is just getting out of the hospital and is dealing with alot of ongoing health issues .  She has been on our show before and today we get a update on her over all health you will need to hear both shows. (at the bottom is a link for part 1)

From Summer :
I was diagnosed with a severe form of Gastroparesis (Gastro-Paralysis), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Orthostatic Hypotension, Sinus Tachycardia, severe joint issues from a connective tissue disease, osteoarthritis, and progressive Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in 2017. Those are not the only diseases I have diagnosed currently, those are just the main ones that really are trying to kill me. I know some of the things you will be reading may be hard to stomach, or even believe that any of this can happen to anyone. But life can be sinister and it CAN happen…. Everything can go horribly wrong in a moment and your life is forever altered. Well, this is my life, and honestly I hate it. All it has been for me for the past 8 years is pure, inhumane suffering. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody, I am terrified to go to sleep every night because to tell you all the truth, I really don’t know if I’ll see the next morning again. My life is just one big ticking time bomb at this moment and eventually it’s going to blow. My life is controlled by the “what ifs” and the medical trauma from hospitals, endless surgeries, going septic multiple times, I have faced death and almost died more times than I can honestly count. I am terrified of my life. I miss my life and how it was in  2015 before my stomach completely went downhill. I miss my old life so much in every way possible. Let me introduce myself now and give you a quick run down on how dire this operation is for me…. My stomach is only able to work at 3% and because of this ongoing and progressive issue I have a Gastric/feeding tube (5 years now) and a gastric Neurostimulator.  (1.5 years now) to try to help with symptom management and malnourishment. I finally am at a stable weight, before the tubes I was only 62 lbs and put on hospice at 22 years old, they gave me a month to live. I was starving to death. Today I weigh between 135-140 lbs and am 25.5 years old. it took a lot of hard work but most of it paid off. Sadly, I still suffer horribly from symptoms. Debilitating nausea, severe vomiting that puts me in the hospital for weeks at a time, weakness, malabsorption, passing out, potassium deficiency, bradycardia, severe protein malnutrition, GERD, severe weight fluctuations, palpitations, chronic abdominal pain, and a lot more. Some is due to me not eating enough, I’m only able to eat about 1 small meal every two days. My specialists at Detroit Henry Ford exhausted all of their options and the next step would be to try for a stomach transplant. I need to raise as much money as I can to be able to get the money started to be able to even afford to talk to a specialist about alternative options. This disease will end up killing me before I’m 30 If I don’t do something now.thank you for taking the time to read and please share this story.
