That is only a partial list of the issues she is dealing with. Paige has been taking fourteen different medications to help with her symptoms.
After spending time under the care of a concussion specialist, it has been suggested that Paige continue intensive therapy with a chiropractic neurologist.
It would be a wonderful opportunity to get Paige the proper treatment she needs, but it is certainly costly.
The trip to the treatment facility involves more medical bills as well as lodging for the family since it is not near their home.
Melissa candidly opened up about her struggles with Paige’s father who seems to be somewhat absent and has made no offers to help pay for the expenses.
“It’s a lot to carry alone, and I am not good at asking for help,” wrote Melissa on a GoFundMe page she made for her daughter.
“So, if you can find it in your heart to give us a bit of assistance as we navigate this unknown journey, we would greatly appreciate it.”
In the meantime, Paige continues to have good days and bad days. For example, Melissa said that Paige’s boyfriend actually broke up with her a few weeks after her accident.
But on one of her good days, Paige was able to attend her prom for a little while, wearing earplugs and using other modifications for the evening.
“All I want is for my baby girl to get back the quality of life she deserves to have,” explained Melissa.
“She should be out there enjoying her summer with friends, exploring the world around her with excitement, and basking in creative energies about her future. Not this.”
