Luis is not only my grandfather but also a husband, son, and father. He works really hard to take care of my grandma and great grandpa. Not only does he work really hard for them but he's also the only provider of the household. For a week or a little over he was dealing with a constant headache. He didn't really mention it to anyone since he pushed it off thinking it may be something small. Some time later him and my grandma decided to paint the house and while doing so Luis started feeling uneasy and dropped to the floor. Half of his body was cold and he was unable to move. My grandma dialed 911 for an ambulance and he was sent to a hospital. Luis' entire face became swollen with fluids. His brain swelled up and soon after he had trouble breathing. Within a couple hours he went from a man that looked perfectly fine to unrecognizable. He had a hemorrhaging stroke. His brain is now 30% damaged. He was unable to do anything without the aid of machines when it came down to breathing, and eating. Over the course of a bit over a month now he hasn't left the hospital. He's paralyzed on his lower body, he's unable to speak, and is still reliant on a feeding tube but he is starting to breathe on his own now. We are struggling a lot financially due to the fact that my grandparents and great grandpa all live and take care of each other in a single household. I'm only 18 and can do only so much with what I'm doing as well as my family. The medical bills for everything including his surgeries, stay in the hospital, machinery use, and all future surgeries and days in the hospital are adding up. The doctors told us that he will need to go to a nursing home as well as rehab with the hope that he'll start walking again. Right now we dont have the funds or insurance to pay the funds that we need to and he could be sent to hospice if we dont have the proper amount of money to pay for everything. Any amount would make a huge difference and is beyond appreciated.
