Sean Young Medical Fund
Donation protected
I have started this campaign to ask for prayers and any financial help you may be moved to provide for the beautiful family of Sean and Lauren Young.
Sean (son of Frank Sr. and Randie Young) and Lauren (daughter of Rachel and Teddy Ayres) along with their boys SJ (3 years) and Liam (9 months) are facing a very difficult and challenging medical journey ahead. Sean is currently in the ICU in a medically induced coma to allow for intubation because he is having difficulty breathing on his own and his blood pressure is elevated and unstable. He has been diagnosed with the rare and life threatening condition of (GBS) Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
After the last 6 months of hard work and family sacrifice, Sean was scheduled to graduate from the Police Academy on December 15, 2015 and then begin his career with the Merced Police Department. His wife Lauren has been home caring for the boys while Sean had to move to Fresno to complete his training. Sean suddenly became ill and in an extrememe amount of pain, not able to feel his arms or legs, and barely able to talk. He was admitted to the hospital October 28th and his condition has continued to deteriorate, typical of the initial phase of GBS.
During this stressful and devastating time for the whole family, they would really appreciate any support and prayers you can provide. There is no cure for GBS and the recovery period from initial insult can be months to a year and beyond. There will be many expenses coming their way with no income in the foreseeable future.
More on Guillian-Barre Syndrome:
Guillain-Barre (gee-YAH-buh-RAY) syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves.
GBS patients develop rapidly progressive sensory symptoms such as unusual sensations (paresthesias) and numbness, and motor symptoms such as weakness and cramping in their legs followed by their arms. Patients may also develop weakness of their breathing and difficulty chewing and swallowing.
Difficulty breathing may create a neurological emergency as the patients can develop respiratory arrest. A sizeable number of patients also develop autonomic dysfunction where they experience fluctuations in their blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias.
GBS is one of the true neurological emergencies. Patients need to be hospitalized and monitored closely during the initial acute phase of the illness.
