Help kuya Kiko fight for his life
Donation protected
My brother, cousin and I are creating a GoFundMe for our cousin, Lisandro Rago Abellanosa, also known as kuya Kiko to his family and friends, is a 46 year old, single man from the Philippines. He is loved dearly by his family, relatives, neighbors, friends and other people who know him. A kind-hearted son who takes care of his mother, doing house errands and makes food for extra income when time permits.
He was first admitted to a nearby hospital on February 14th of this year. Kuya Kiko is type 2 diabetic. Kuya kiko and his mother went to the hospital due to a swollen leg where he was diagnosed with severe sepsis. The surgeon opened the right leg for debridement and observation for four days.
After being observed, kuya Kiko had many complications that led to the decision to amputate his right leg above the knee to prevent any further spread of the infection. He developed jaundice, pneumonia, acute renal failure and blood loss from debridement performed on his leg and was sent to ICU because of an unstable blood pressure. Kuya Kiko had to undergo four separate, intense sessions of emergency dialysis in the ICU before he could be cleared for an amputation. After the amputation surgery, doctors observed that Kuya Kiko had low levels of hemoglobin. He went through five blood transfusions to increase his hemoglobin levels.
Kuya Kiko has been in the hospital for almost a month for treatment and recovery. He was finally cleared to recover at home. Days later he had a slight fever and difficulty breathing during his home recovery. Then on March 10 he was readmitted again but this time sent to a different hospital due to issues on room availability. With covid protocols with testing and disinfection of the room, he had to go through additional suffering for another 6 hours before doctors and nurses could help him. He again had low hemoglobin levels and a reinfection on the amputated leg. Diagnosis found out that he developed an autoimmune hemolytic anemia during his first admission in another hospital. At this present time, he is trying to recover from his third reinfection of the amputated leg and stabilizing his hemoglobin by methods of medications. As of right now the blood transfusion is deferred due to his autoimmune hemolytic anemia diagnosis. He is currently still in the hospital being monitored and cared for by doctors and staff round the clock.
Kuya Kiko has expressed his absolute physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion during this trying time for him and his family. Family and friends are all praying for a speedy, fast, safe recovery and healing. Any contribution made will lessen the stress on him and his family by helping fund his medical bills and possibly even a prosthetic once he gets released from the hospital.
