Help Alicia with medical expenses
Hi, my name is Patricia and I am trying to raise money to help my daughter with her medical bills and expenses. On Saturday May 3, she went to work with a bad headache. By the next day, she was slurring her speech, drooling and having trouble swallowing. Monday, she went to urgent care and they could not find anything in her blood work, telling her to see a primary care physician. By Thursday things took a turn and she was having trouble walking, bumping into things, losing balance. She was admitted to the hospital the next day. They found lesions on both sides of her brain including a 9mm lesion on the right. Demyelination of nerve endings in her brain and some thyroid nodules that need to be checked for cancer. She came home after 3 days in the hospital and will need physical therapy to regain balance and retrain her brain to see properly and walk properly as well as regain strength in her grip and legs. They are saying she may be out of work 8 to 12 weeks as an estimate but she is hopeful that she may return quicker if she shows improvement. The medical bills have started rolling in and with only 4 weeks of lost wages, insurance deductible, premium and costs not covered by insurance, she is looking at 13,000 at this point not including anything after the 4 weeks and bills that have not arrived yet.. Any funds raised will go directly to medical costs and basic expenses while she is out of work.
