She’s Lucky To Be Alive After Suffering From Bleeding In Her Brain, But Now This Recent College Grad Has To Undergo Brain Surgery
Sedona, Arizona. Morgan Bailey graduated from Arizona State University earlier this after she completed her degree in Forensic Psychology.
She also recently launched a company with her mom Robin in their hometown of Sedona.
Their company is called Sedona Picnics, and the mother-daughter duo provides hand-crafted charcuterie boards and luxury pop-up picnic experiences.
On May 30th, a Sunday, Morgan suffered from a terrible medical tragedy that has left her now urgently needing brain surgery.
“Anyone who knows Morgan knows her as an amazing bright light, a young woman poised to make the world a better place,” Galen Coburn-Amadio wrote on a GoFundMe page for her.

“At approximately 5:15 p.m. on Sunday, May 30, 2021, Morgan experienced a severe and sudden AVM (arteriovenous malformation) rupture, an extensive bleeding of the brain that can cause paralysis and other unknown damage to the brain.”
Morgan then had to be airlifted to a neurological hospital, where she currently still is.
“Morgan is an incredible human being who has her whole life ahead of her. A recent graduate of Arizona State University, getting ready to start law school on her journey to imbue social justice into every facet of life,” Galen continued.

“Morgan is a strong, brilliant, tenacious fighter who has been living with AVM since discovering her condition several years ago.”
AVM, also known as arteriovenous malformation, is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels that connect to veins and arteries in the spine or brain.
These abnormal blood vessels end up causing problems with oxygen and blood flow, and side effects of AVM include seizures and headaches.

Sometimes, the abnormal blood vessels can rupture, like in Morgan’s case. When this happens, it can cause strokes, brain bleeds, and brain damage.
Morgan’s doctors say she is lucky to be alive, and she is currently waiting to have brain surgery so that hopefully 70% of the AVM can be removed.
The damage done to Morgan’s brain already will take more than a year for her to recover from, and her family is hoping there has not been extensive damage already done to that part of her brain.
“Morgan is able to whisper words like “yes”, “no”, and “Mom”,” Galen explained in the most recent update on Morgan.
“She’s able to respond with facial movements and gestures that let us know she’s fighting hard, but we see the pain in her eyes and we know it’s a long road.”
