The morning of May 22nd my mom, Isabella, was rushed to the hospital with what I thought was an allergic reaction to her new medication. I found her that morning unconscious in an odd position, once I was able to finally get her up, she was very confused and having a difficult time being able to move. Aside from that, I knew something was very wrong when she kept repeating the same 3 questions over and over again. What I thought would be a short 1-2 day stay in the hospital, turned into a living nightmare now stretching over a weeks span with what feels like no end in sight. In sum, the doctors believe that my mom suffered multiple seizures that night while unconscious, which explains the difficulty waking her up and odd positioning she was in. As a result, my mom has suffered memory loss and is in a constant state of confusion leaving her unable to do basic everyday activities. The official term given to me by her doctors is called Encephalitis. Doctors have strongly advised that she cannot go back to work, drive, or even bathe herself alone until she is out of this state of confusion, which they cannot give a definite estimate for how long her recovery will be. Thinking positively, doctors and my family are hoping she will be better in 6-7 months but again this is not a definite answer. To say this has rocked my family is an understatement. If you know my mom, you'd know she would move mountains for the people she loves. She is the most hardworking and strong person in my life and to see her in this state is nothing I would wish on anyone. Now, it's time for me to move mountains for her and ask for your help in doing so. The financial burden that this has put on my family has already become clear with bills piling up that our small household income cannot keep up with and with the looming 6-7 month recovery time I do not know how we will manage. We are asking for 15K in what will cover bills, food, and healthcare. I will do my best to update everyone on her recovery. Any help is appreciated, and from the bottom of my heart I cannot thank you enough.
