One Saturday She Was Shopping For The Wedding Dress Of Her Dreams And A Day Later She Was In The ICU

Asheville, North Carolina. Rosalyn White is a young woman who has such much to look forward to in her life.

On January 8th, a Saturday, she went out shopping for the wedding dress of her dreams, and a day later she was in the ICU with her life in jeopardy.

Rosalyn had been driving her car to Appalachian State University, where she is set to finish up her last semester when she got into a terrible car accident.

Rosalyn was rushed to Mission Hospital, where she was placed in the ICU as her family waited desperately for an update on her condition.

The only thing that Rosalyn’s loved ones were told was that she had to get emergency surgery to save her life.

“The accident crushed her entire driver’s side trapping her in the vehicle,” Rosalyn’s aunt, Carla Shipman, wrote on a GoFundMe page.

“Initially, the Trauma Surgeons were faced with a ruptured bladder, a hole in her liver, a torn diaphragm, and extensive internal bleeding.”

“After many scans, the surgeon determined that Rosalyn also had a tear in her aorta, the main artery to the heart.”

“They also determined that her pelvis was fractured. After the initial surgery, Rosalyn was placed in ICU where she was heavily sedated and on a ventilator.”

Rosalyn has since had to undergo multiple surgeries, and doctors also discovered that she had more broken bones in her hand, fingers, and pelvic bone.

Rosalyn was also sedated and placed on a ventilator, and six days ago that was able to be removed.

That same day, she was able to whisper to her mom that she loved her.

“Rosalyn has a long road of recovery ahead of her,” Carla explained. “No young person should have to start their life with the worry of mountains of medical bills.”

“If you feel led please donate to help us ensure that she is able to walk down the aisle without the worry of medical bills.”
