Fundraiser continues for Rushville nurse who suffered stroke

Suffered stroke 9 days after giving birth to son

(RUSHVILLE, Ind.) – A fundraiser continues for a local nurse and mother of four children. 

35-year-old Kim Davis works at Rush Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Center as an oncology nurse navigator. 

Davis suffered an extremely rare stroke just 9 days after giving birth to her son. 

The stroke was identified as Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST). It affects about 5 people in 1 million each year. 

Since the stroke, she has made progress during the recovery. However, functions such as arm mobility, her memory and speech are still impacted. 

A Go Fund Me has been launched to help with medical bills as well as upcoming medical necessities such as handicap accessibilities in the home and continued care.
