YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn August 30, 2015, Lauriann Bartell went to the hospital with a bleeding ulcer. The doctors cauterized it but due to its proximity to an artery, she lost a lot of blood.
They rushed the mother of six children to emergency surgery to stop the bleeding but during that time, she lost oxygen to her brain. This caused an unknown amount of brain damage and left her in a coma.
Lauriann’s faithful husband, Mike, has rarely left her side over the past two years. They brought Lauriann home in October 2015 and Mike has been caring for her ever since.
The kids work and hold fundraisers to pay for their extracurricular activities and the Bartells remain hopeful that one day Lauriann will awake from her coma.
When Secret Santa learned about Lauriann, he sent the EastIdahoNews.com elves over with a special gift.
A GoFundMe has been created to help the Bartell family. Click here to visit the page.
