Hey all My name is Kasandra Benavides my dad has been in the Hospital since June 9. (Historia en español más abajo) He went in at 2am with severe lower back pain, fever and tingling sensation in his legs and feet. They have completed multiple MRIs, Cat scans and endless blood withdrawals. First prognosis came with possible lymphoma and a biopsy was to be scheduled. His legs started losing their strength, he could feel and move them but he had no strength to lift them or hold himself up. Second prognosis came up as Guillain Barre Syndrome and the biopsy was put on hold. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP). It is a neurological disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system, the part of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. He was transferred over to the neurological floor and has been under constant watch. His girlfriend has been with him every step of the way. My brothers, Gary and Brandon, and I have been with him as much as we can. It’s been a very difficult time for us. He cannot walk he cannot stand up on his own and needs assistance for just about everything. Along with the loss of strength in his legs he also has facial paralysis makes his speech a little slurred. Being confined to a bed is frustrating, uncomfortable, and irritating He has been studying to become a pilot and was actually about to take his check right flight for his commercial license which has now been postponed. For everyone out there who knows my dad you know how active, strong and full of life he is at 50 years old. My father has always been a super healthy person, he works out stays clean, no drugs, no alcohol, nothing that could be potentially harmful to his body. He prides himself in looking good and feeling just as good at his age. He does not have insurance and his recovery has been said to be a pretty long one with possibility of full recovery with treatments. Recovery with treatment varies depending on the individual but they say anywhere between 6 weeks to 3 months at a minimum. With this much time out of commission the hospital bills and his personal bills will not be paid. His gf my brothers and myself will be doing as much as we can. We are of course looking for state medical assistance but as of now the social worker and hospital eligibility personnel does not believe he will qualify for Medicaid. Any help is appreciated prayers, sharing or donating anything helps. We thank you in advanced for anything above all prayers are needed Hola a todos, mi nombre es Kasandra Benavides, mi papá ha estado en el Hospital desde el 9 de junio. Ingresó a las 2 a.m. con dolor severo en la parte inferior de la espalda, fiebre y sensación de hormigueo en las piernas y los pies. Han completado múltiples resonancias magnéticas, tomografías computarizadas y extracciones de sangre interminables. El primer pronóstico llegó como un posible linfoma y se programó una biopsia. Sus piernas comenzaron a perder fuerza, puede sentirlas y moverlas pero no tiene fuerza para levantarlas o sostenerse. El segundo pronóstico surgió como Síndrome de Guillain Barre y la biopsia se suspendió. El síndrome de Guillain-Barré (GBS) también se denomina polirradiculoneuropatía desmielinizante inflamatoria aguda (AIDP). Es un trastorno neurológico en el que el sistema inmunológico del cuerpo ataca el sistema nervioso periférico, la parte del sistema nervioso fuera del cerebro y la médula espinal. Fue transferido al piso neurológico y ha estado bajo vigilancia constante. Su novia ha estado con él en cada paso del camino. Mis hermanos, Gary y Brandon, y yo hemos estado con él. Ha sido un momento muy difícil para nosotros. No puede caminar, no puede ponerse de pie por sí mismo y necesita ayuda para casi todo. Junto con la pérdida de fuerza en sus piernas, también tiene parálisis facial que hace que su discurso sea un poco confuso. Estar confinado en una cama es frustrante, incómodo e irritante para el. Ha estado estudiando para convertirse en piloto y en realidad estaba a punto de tomar su vuelo correcto para obtener su licencia comercial que ahora ha sido pospuesta. Para todos los que conocen a mi padre, saben lo activo, fuerte y lleno de vida que es a los 50 años. Mi padre siempre ha sido una persona súper saludable, se mantiene limpio, sin drogas, sin alcohol, nada que pueda ser potencialmente dañino para su cuerpo. Se enorgullece de verse bien y sentirse igual de bien a su edad. No tiene seguro y se dice que su recuperación es bastante larga con posibilidad de recuperación completa con tratamientos. La recuperación con el tratamiento varía según el individuo, pero dicen que entre 6 semanas y 3 meses como mínimo. Con todo este tiempo fuera de servicio, las facturas del hospital y sus facturas personales no se pagarán. Su novia, mis hermanos y yo haremos todo lo que podamos. Por supuesto, estamos buscando asistencia médica estatal, pero a partir de ahora, el trabajador social y el personal de elegibilidad del hospital no creen que calificará para Medicaid. Cualquier ayuda se agradece oraciones, compartir o donar cualquier cosa ayuda. Le agradecemos de antemano por cualquier cosa, por encima de todo, se necesitan oraciones.
