FAMILY FUNDS AND MEDICAL BILLS
Donation protected
Nearly a month ago, my dad had a stroke. It was a minor one and he was discharged a week later, after constant encouragement from his doctor. By encouragement, I mean that he kept telling us that Dad was fine and he could go home immediately. Unfortunately for us, not only did the doctor lie about his condition, but he also experimented various new medication on my dad without any consent or consulting us.
We found out that the medicine he was given were three different types of blood thinners which gave him a case of brain hemorrhage and a second stroke. This led to him being hospitalized a second time. Dad was quickly sent to the ICU (intensive care unit) and while he was there, he started to slip away. This led to an immediate surgery which thankfully, saved his life. But because of this, it will take a long amount of time and support until my dad can walk on his own again.
Now, my family isn't rich or 'well-off'. Before these tragic turn of events, we were already financially unstable. Our insurance can barely cover the first hospital bill and we're already on the verge of being broke. Mom had to fish out almost everything out of our savings and even had to sell my brother's car just to pay for the surgery (which was barely enough), and we still owe the hospital A LOT of money. Even after we paid off our debt to the hospital, we still have many upcoming costs to cover.
Waking up after brain surgery; my mom wiping away dad's tears. No memories were affected, only movements, postures and speech... He was moved to a normal ward today, looking fine. Though, he's having slight hallucinations.
ANY form of donations are appreciate! Even if you can't donate, just sharing would be more help than we would ask for! I know it's a big goal, but I'm hoping to at least raise enough 1/4 of it(please mind the curreny differences).
I know I don't have much to offer but, please help us, this situation is taking a huge toll on my family; we are small, my mom refuses to sleep or eat and yet she still finds time and energy to visit dad, manage her business and cry herself to sleep every night. My brother can only come home on the weekend, and it's tiring for him to drive 6 hours to and fro straight after work each day. I wished I noticed something earlier on when all this had started.
My dad frequently participates in marathons and charity events. He love sports in general and begs the nurses everyday to let him off the bed.
However, he doesn't quite have the strength to even support a sitting position yet.
Thank you for your time! If anyone would like a more detailed story, feel free to contact me and I will try my best! Lots of loves and take care,
Elaine.
