Many viewers were following the updates and were concerned for not only Thomas' health but the medical bills that would soon come in after any procedure. As of 2021, 27.5 million young people were actually uninsured. 

On March 15th, just days before her death, Thomas posted a video on TikTok to share an update on her health. In the video, she can be seen closing her eyes as she was laying on a hospital bed. Part of the caption reads "I am still waiting to go down for surgery. The reason they didn't do it last week was because having fluids in me would solve the issue."

Thomas noted that she had nearly "4 liters of fluid" inside her body before recalling how bad in fact the migraine pain was that specific morning. 

Thomas specially noted how the pain was so bad that she had to be wheeled around everywhere. She continued in many videos stating that she was unable to lift her head without feeling sickness. The mother also hoped that she could take one of her prescription drugs before surgery to help with pain and pressure relief.

At this time, The GoFundME page has reached its goal of nearly 15,000 euros and does not mention any of its bills for the medical procedures.

Nearly nine hundred people poured out their thoughts on the page commenting on the journey they followed for the TikToker. Alyx wrote on the page, "Nothing will bring the boys their mum back, but we hope it will bring some relief to her family, knowing how loved and supported they are." 

None of the medical fees have been disclosed by the family. The family did not disclose if Jehane delayed any doctor visits to medical fees or concerns with any procedures as well.
