Melinda E. Piper’s Funeral Arrangements and Expenses

<h1>Melinda E. Piper’s Funeral Arrangements and Expenses<span class="hidden-full-title" style="display:none;"> ❤️ by Brad Selinger</span></h1>

As alot of you may know Mom(Melinda) has been sick for some time. July 4th weekend she went with family to Confluence on a camping trip which she loved. I believe Mom knew it was going to be her last as she was having some difficulty during the trip. We returned home on July 7th and July 8th Mom was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Due to shortness of breath and low oxygen levels it happened to be pneumonia. The pneumonia caused an infection that Allegheny Valley Hospital had told us ” they were chasing their tails trying to find”. She was put on a ventilator to scope and clean out any debris or fluid they may find. Due to the infection they were trying to find it brought up the ammonia levels in her liver causing her body to swell and seeping through her skin. After a few days of chasing their tails they transferred her to UPMC Presby Hospital within 8 hours where she was diagnosed with ARDS(Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). Due to this infection it took a severe toll on her liver which then took a toll of her kidneys. Due to Allegheny Valley Hospitals negligence she became septic. UPMC Presby did everything they could working long and hard with numerous updates daily, but unfortunately she was then diagnosed with kidney failure on July 23rd. Mom passed away on July 23rd at 11:41am surrounded by her loved ones. She did not have life insurance in place pr funeral arrangements made. We explored all options which do not respect her wishes.Unfortunately we have to pay out of pocket for all expenses. With that being said any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. All funds will be used for funeral cost and expenses. We appreciate all the love and support we have received during this difficult time. If you can’t donate please leave a prayer in the comments and share out please. Thank you so much! God Bless.
