Story
Kerry started to bleed out of her bottom since January 2017. She had severe pain as well and was scared to eat and drink. Her first trip to hospital was because of the pain that she was in. The hospital told her and us that it was internal piles. She wasn’t treated very nicely in hospital at all. Her second trip to hospital she was admitted with blood loss. Enough loss that she had to have two blood transfusions. At this point we were still told that it was internal piles. Hospital again treated her like absolute rubbish. The third time she was admitted to hospital with pain my mum got involved and rang up the head nurse and told her that her daughter had been left for 9 hours without any pain relief at all. This time kerry decided to discharge herself from hospital because of they way they were treating her. Again we were all told it was internal piles. Fast forward to the early hours of the 6th of October kerry became unconscious in her home surround by liters of blood. Her one fear was dying in that house on her own. Her partner called an ambulance and she was rushed to hospital. They instantly done surgery to stop the bleed to no avail. She was then sewed back up and put in ICU. Where she continued to bleed out. She never regained consciousness and eventually her blood pressure dropped to 0 and her heart stopped. This was a major shock to all of us. The coroner seems to think that the hospital are to blame and took her out of the hospital to have a post mortem at a private clinic a week after her death.
Kerry was a loving mother to 17 year old twins Courtney and DJ and 11 year old Megan. She would do anything for them kids. Now they are left without their mum.
She leaves behind a mother and father who are in bits and very shocked.
She also leave behind 3 sisters who are in bits and still recovering from the shock.
And her 6 nieces and nephews will never see their aunt again who absolutely dotted on them.
She was only 36 years old and did not deserve to be taken.
We are raising as much money as we can to help to pay for her funeral and if there is any left over to split between her three children.
If you could please help and share it would mean the world to all of us.
Update: From the Autopsy it was revealed that Kerry had died as a result of
A) Multiple organ failure
B) Upper gastro-intestinal tract haemorrhage
C) Cirrhosis of the liver with coagulopathy
Thank you.
