Laura McKeithen commented on how everything changed one day as her daughter was “having breakfast with pals in Cabo San Lucas” in an update posted on a GoFundMe campaign created to assist with medical expenses.
Her mother said that “Liza’s boyfriend found her unconscious when she laid down for a sleep” after she suddenly became unwell. According to a previous statement on the fundraiser page, Burke had a headache when she woke up that morning and it troubled her throughout breakfast.
She was transferred to a nearby hospital where she was first identified as having an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). She is presently being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Florida, but was discovered to have a “brain tumor placed near her brain stem,” Ritter said in an update on March 24.
According to Laura, who provided the same update, the illness in her daughter was probably latent “for many years until it turned aggressive in a very short period.” The previous month has been “nothing short of a nightmare, a roller coaster, and a love tale all wrapped into one,” wrote Liza’s mother as she thought back on all they’d gone through since that day in Mexico.
“We are grateful Liza made it through despite all the odds. Despite all the challenges, she was sent to Mayo. She had a dangerous brain biopsy, which happily produced far better outcomes than anticipated, “In the statement from Tuesday, her mother stated.
Since coming home, Liza has been silent and has become “less and less responsive,” according to her mother, who talked to ABC station WSB-TV earlier this month. “They are aware that she has a grade 4 glioma, which is a tumor.
Her brain stem is directly affected. Everything takes place in your brain stem, which is why she isn’t waking up “McKeithen said to the source. Yet, she said that her daughter is still able to speak and has been able to touch her hand, as previously reported by Good Morning America.
The mother of the girl begs for continuous prayers as her daughter enters the third week of daily radiotherapy. She added in Tuesday’s post, referring to her daughter’s late sister Edie, who passed away in 2008: “Please pray that our lovely sleeping warrior is working with God, the Universe and her sister, Edie, to softly direct its beam to decrease the tumor.
Please pray that Liza receives strength, blessings, and miracles as Hope continues to fall on all of us. We appreciate you coming along on this adventure with us.
