Medical Bills for Alyssa

Get to know Alyssa: Alyssa was born a happy, healthy child. At nine months, after a round of shots, our lives changed forever. She was crawling across the floor, rolled over and started seizing. She had seizures daily for the next 4 years. The seizures destroyed her brain, took all functions away and left her unable to move, diagnosed mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epileptic autistic. Doctors said she would never function higher than a 6 month old. Boy, were they wrong. She has worked so hard for 6 years and learned to sit up, crawl, scoot and play. She also learned to stand and walk in a walker. She is an amazing little girl, full of energy and life. 

Our reason for raising money: On July 21st our world stopped again. Alyssa was unable to sit up and hold her head up after an evening nap. She was rushed to the hospital and found to have a fractured neck. Doctors are unsure exactly what happened but believe that she has brittle bones due to the years of seizure medicine and either had a seizure at nap time that was so violent it fractured her neck or over years of banging her head (due to a mood disorder and stem reflex) caused small fractures causing the bones to over time break. Alyssa had no movement in her body and it was feared that she would now be paralyzed from the neck down. After surgery, and another miracle given to us by God, they are able to detect movement in the right side of her body. Her left side is detectable but only slightly and doctors are unsure what the future holds for her left side.

God is good and everyone who loves Alyssa is beyond thankful! Along with the good news, Alyssa still has weeks of recovery, rehab and countless hours of therapy to fight through. Her parents, Katie and Jesus will be standing by her side but as you can imagine, this means that they will not be going to work and medical bills are not pocket change for a surgery and recovery like this. Alyssa also has two younger siblings that need to be taken care of during this challenging time in their lives. The friends and family that love the Delgadillo family are asking for any help that you can offer so that Katie and Jesus do not have to stress about hospital bills and can simply focus on the recovery of their sweet daughter, Alyssa. Every little bit helps! We pray that you will be blessed abundantly in return!
