[QUOTE="SnakesVsSpiders, post: 202376, member: 37806"] My name is Justin and my family and I live in Montana. We have four beautiful boys 3 of which love spiders, the forth is terrified of anything that moves. Their mom, my wife has been in the hospital since July and everytime we think she is getting better something happens and she takes two steps back. First it started as a bad case of pancreatitis, it got so bad her pancreas started bleeding and parts of it died, any open space in her stomach filled up with blood and secretions from her pancreas. She became anemic and had to have several blood transfusions. Thinking that she wouldn't survive surgery the doctors attempted removing the blood and secretions from her stomach by putting two ports, one on each side but because it had become so thick they had no luck. The Doctors then tried flushing the ports with saline in an attempt to try and liquefy the secretions that had jellified inside her. During this time she developed an ileus which is when an individual's intestines stop functioning and is extremely painful. She then became septic and with still no success they had to perform surgery. The surgeon took a part of one of her ribs inorder to remove all that had built up inside her. She is no longer septic and her intestines started functioning again but now she has hospital-acquired pneumonia. It's like she takes one step forward and then two steps backwards. Due to the severity of her situation she had to go to a specialized facility that is six hours from our home. To be close to her I have been staying in a hotel while my in-laws are watching our kids. We have missed our eight year olds birthday then our 14 year olds birthday. Being a disabled veteran I am on a fixed income and with our savings nearly depleted we have been unable to get either of them a birthday gift. I was hoping maybe you guys might have or know of any affordable Goliath birdeaters. I know after everything they have been through it would blow their minds! I am in no means looking for a handout, I was just hoping maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. Thank You for your time, Justin [/QUOTE]
