Elijah Martinez’s Story:
This is a story of a young man who is strong with future goals in the medical field. Elijah is a student at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. He was to complete his graduation in December 2020. But something happened to Elijah that is changing his goal of graduating and becoming a part of the medical field. Here is his story:
On November 20, 2020 we received word that Elijah had to go to the Emergency Room. His legs wouldn’t hold him up and he was not able to get up. He did not know what was happening to him. His sister, Morgan was there in Phoenix as they were going to drive back together to Albuquerque, NM for the holiday. Instead Elijah had to be driven to the ER in Phoenix, AZ.
Elijah entered the hospital as an emergency patient. Tests were administered to determine what was happening to him. He had CT scans, MRI, lab work.
Finally he had an imaging test which resulted on his diagnosis of Cavernous Hemangioma. The doctors found three of these Cavernous Hemangiomas.
There is one on the frontal lobe of the brain. The one on the frontal lobe cannot be removed because it’s on the brain.
The two on the back of his neck were surgically removed (a seven hour surgery). One of the two on the back of his neck was causing him not able to walk or move.
Elijah is in the Intensive Care Unit and will remain there until the doctors can release him to the Rehab Center in Phoenix, AZ. He is unable to move his muscles in his body. He currently has Pneumonia and not able to breath on his own. This is long term care. Funds raised will help his family financially for Elijah's medical care which will require constant care. We ask for prayers and any donation you can give.
