Help George and Family Through MS Struggles

Donation protected
Let me start with hi everyone! This is the last thing i want to even write about and or have to being doing but here it goes, for the past 5 years my dad George has been slowly showing symptoms of his body fighting his body, what started with loss of eyesight in one eye, tingly right hand and nerve damage in both feet with problems of going cold, he still continued to work and push through for my mom and my little brother even though he knew something was wrong. To which he got checked multiple times with no diagnosis. Fast forward too around 2 weeks ago and 5 years later, When he woke up on July 5th with his whole body on “fire” in pain, couldn’t walk or hold himself and he was numb, he had texted the family chat and explained he was going to be checked again, the doctors told him they wanted to do a lumbar puncture which scared him so he then asked to leave. He went back the next day for an X-ray despite how he felt and a lot of convincing so they could atleast check to rule out blood clots in his legs, gave him blood thinners and sent him home. They wanted to make him wait till the following Monday before they did anything for him and by Friday morning he was calling my mom because he collapsed and wasn't able get up it had progressed and got extremely what the called it “aggressive” in under a week, he went back in to the hospital July 11th and they said they were keeping him for a minimum of 3 days and he didn’t come back out till the 18th. while he was in the hospital he got diagnosed with MS and they found white lesions on his brain and his spine, his symptoms today (and has been) burning, pain, pins and needles, contracting muscles, he needs help being fed cause he can no longer feed himself, can no longer drive (Hes a trucker), he can no longer walk without someone to help him because he is now a fall risk and is pretty forgetful. They have him on medications and the most concerning now being on a high dose of seizure meds, my mom has to work overnights and her now cleaning job trying to play catch up, as she is the only one able to work. My family would never normally do these but for the concern of my mom needing weight off her shoulders with everything being thrown at and my dad needing help as we don’t know how much worse and how quickly it will get there without them literally drowning as again she works all night then is up during the day taking care of him. Anything at ALL would help, we all appreciate it in advance and please keep my family in your prayers cause he has a lot of children and grandchildren that we need him to stick around for.
