¿Quién es José Antonio?

José Antonio es un joven de 34 años, esposo y padre de una hermosa niña de 4 años y un bebé de 2 meses que aún no ha podido conocer debido al COVID, es trabajador, honesto, buen ser humano y quien ahora necesita de nuestra ayuda para poder seguir viviendo.

La historia de José Antonio y el COVID

Lamentablemente la esposa de José Antonio fue quien contrajo primero COVID-19 estando embarazada de 7 meses, quien tuvo que ser internada e intubada durante 2 semanas y tener una cesárea prematura para poder salvarle la vida a su bebé, afortunadamente ella y su bebé están ya sanos y salvos en casa.

Desafortunadamente, José Antonio no ha corrido con la misma suerte, él durante la atención a su esposa en casa, previo a ser internada, también se contagió de COVID-19 y su situación se agravó tanto que tuvo que ser internado en el hospital, siendo intubado por una fuerte neumonía a causa del virus.

En solo 7 días su situación se agravo tanto debido a una perforación de su pulmón derecho, ocasionando un neumotórax y que su oxigenación llegara a 20%, al punto que los doctores ya no daban esperanzas de vida para él.

Por un milagro esa noche de alta gravedad, miércoles 14 de abril 2021, llegó un equipo especializado con un aparato llamado ECMO que es como un pulmón artificial, Jose Antonio fue conectado y trasladado de urgencia a un hospital de la ciudad de México.

El día de ayer 17 de mayo, 2021, José Antonio tuvo que ser intervenido por la perforación de su pulmón derecho que no pudo cerrarse por sí misma, y le fue extirpado 2/3 partes de su pulmón derecho.

Actualmente José Antonio sigue conectado al aparato ECMO y luchando por su vida, ya lleva 34 días al día de hoy 18 de mayo de 2021, y los doctores estiman que deberá aún permanecer conectado al menos otros 30 días más.

Ayuda para José Antonio

El equipo ECMO, ha sido un milagro que le brinda una esperanza de vida a José Antonio, sin embargo, el costo de este tratamiento es sumamente elevado tan solo al día 13 de mayo 2021 se lleva una cuenta hospitalaria arriba de los $12 millones de pesos y estimando que aún requerirá estar en el hospital un mes más, se calcula una cuenta estimada superior a los $25 millones de pesos, y su seguro de gastos médicos sólo cubrirá una parte.

Es por ello que acudimos a su humanidad, para que, con su granito de arena, apoyemos a José Antonio y su familia a juntar el dinero suficiente para pagar los gastos hospitalarios y de rehabilitación. No importa cuánto puedas aportar, todo suma, todo ayuda a que José Antonio pueda conocer a su bebe, regresar con su familia, y lograr la misión de vida que Dios le ha encomendado.  ¡Dios te bendiga!

Who is Jose Antonio?

José Antonio is a 34-year-old mexican young man, husband and father of a beautiful 4-year-old girl and a 2-month-old baby that he has not yet been able to meet due to COVID-19, he is hardworking, honest, a good human being and who now needs our help to be able to continue living.

The story of Jose Antonio and COVID-19

Unfortunately, Jose Antonio's wife was the one who first contracted COVID-19 while she was 7 months pregnant, who had to be hospitalized and intubated for 2 weeks and had a premature cesarean section in order to save her baby's life, fortunately she and her baby are already safe at home.

Unfortunately, Jose Antonio has not had the same fate, he during the care of his wife at home, prior to being admitted, also caught COVID-19 and his situation worsened so much that he had to be admitted to the hospital, being intubated by severe pneumonia due to the virus.

In just 7 days his situation got so bad due to a perforation of his right lung, causing a pneumothorax and his oxygenation reached 20%, to the point that the doctors no longer gave him life expectancy.

By a miracle that night of high gravity, Wednesday April 14, 2021, a specialized team arrived with a device called ECMO that is like an artificial lung, Jose Antonio was connected and rushed to a hospital in Mexico City.

Yesterday, May 17, 2021, José Antonio had to be operated on for a perforation of his right lung that could not close by itself, and 2/3 of his right lung was removed.

Currently Jose Antonio is still connected to the ECMO device and fighting for his life, he has already been 34 days to this day, May 18, 2021, and the doctors estimate that he must still remain connected for at least another 30 days.

Help for Jose Antonio

The ECMO team has been a miracle that gives Jose Antonio life expectancy, however, the cost of this treatment is extremely high. Only on May 13, 2021, a hospital bill exceeds $600,000 dollars. and estimating that he will still need to be in the hospital for another month, an estimated bill of more than $1,250,000 dollars is calculated, and his insurance for medical expenses will only cover part of it.

That is why we turn to your humanity, so that, with your grain of sand, can support Jose Antonio and his family to raise enough money to pay for hospital and rehabilitation expenses. No matter how much you can contribute, everything adds up, everything helps Jose Antonio to meet his baby, return to his family, and achieve the mission of life that God has entrusted to him.


God bless you!
