Get Ann Home - Spinal AVM Complications

BELFAST, Northern Ireland - Jan. 4, 2024 - PRLog -- Ann's Story

Ann, a former Commonwealth Games badminton competitor for Northern Ireland, exemplifies strength and vitality. Her journey with a rare spinal condition, known as a spinal AVM, began in 2000.

Despite a significant bleed in 2003 and subsequent rehabilitation, Ann's resilience shone through as she regained mobility, and married Shaun in Florida in 2004.

A Sudden Turn in 2022

During what should have been a landmark year for Ann celebrating her 60th Birthday with friends and family. Ann faced two aneurysms near her AVM, leading to a brain bleed.

Despite initial recovery, complications and COVID-19 infections disrupted crucial medical procedures.

Tragically, further bleeds resulted in Ann being admitted to ICU and placed in a medically induced coma. The subsequent medical interventions led to paralysis from the neck down and a dependence on a ventilator.

Shaun's Mission: Get Ann Home

Ann's current situation in the Royal Victoria Hospital ICU is stable, but the journey ahead is daunting.

The Brady family faces the need to extensively modify their home to accommodate Ann's care requirements.

Despite Shaun's full-time employment and Ann's private pension, they receive no financial aid for these modifications, putting them in a difficult position.
