<div><strong>Diego Acuna, 19 years old </strong>has his whole life ahead of him. Diego suffered a severe stroke while in Cabo San Lucas on vacation for Labor Day weekend with family and friends. The stroke affected the right side of his brain causing severe damage. He had to have a surgery to remove part of his right skull (decompressive craniectomy) which is an emergency procedure used to relieve dangerous pressure and swelling in the brain. Diego is currently in the ICU intubated in Mexico, doctors are waiting for the swelling of the brain to decrease. His parents are eager to fly him closer to home via medical ambulance to get the care he needs. Diego faces a long road to recovery: His parents are going through a very difficult time right now, they would have never imagined this to happen to their son.
