****On July 21, 2022 we landed back in the ER due to multiple seizures in a 24 hour period. We had done really well with managing them from home and keeping them singular since November 2021. However, on July 14, 2021 we had a seizure that kept reoccuring through the weekend. We went 4 days seizure free until the 21st. He began having multiple seizures leading us to the ER yet again. He has been in there since then, and our bill is currently at about $3,500 and if he has to stay another night, it could be around $4,200.00. We are still trying to pay off his ER bills from 2021 and this unexpected event/trip has dug us into the hole even more. This doesn't include the continued treatments, testing and medications we need done monthly. The reason again for this outreach, is because *NATIONWIDE PET INSURANCE* has $600 cap when it comes to seizures and doesn't cover ER stays related to that as well. I have been fighting with them since we started dealing with these seizures only to be unsuccessful. And unfortunately, we cannot switch insurances because all of his other issues along with the seizures would be considered pre existing, eliminating any chance for reimbursement with another company.

****On August 10, 2021 we have sadly found ourselves dealing with this exact same occurrence... Kiko started to cluster yet again, and we had to take him to 3 different ER hospitals totaling about $6,000.00 as of right now. We are going through a dark time right now and will exhaust every possible avenue to help get Kiko taken care of. Many people have asked us how they can help, and this is the biggest way you can help us afford the issues were facing. On top of that ****NATIONWIDE PET INSURANCE**** stated once again that they will deny our claims because the do not cover "Congenital and Hereditary Conditions" regardless of going to the ER or not. I reached out to them to see if they would cover this and they again stated that they would deny our claims. A complete Kick Us While We are Down moment. Hence, why I am reaching out once again.* Every donation will go to his treatments, ER stays, and any other seizure managing procedure we will be experiencing moving forward*** 

On March 30th, Kiko began to have dangerously violent seizures that led us to 5 days of battling these seizures, and even a 3 day stay in the ER. Kiko already battles with a neurological disease, and unfortunately, one of the symptoms related to that is seizures. We have experienced them before, but nothing of that magnitude. We currently have pet insurance for him, but because we cannot upgrade or switch insurance companies because of his seizures being considered "preexisting," our coverage does not cover the ER stay, Medications, Tests and Visits. We have tried to fight it multiple times with our pet insurance but continue to get denied for the claims relating to that rough week. It has been so disappointing to fight this out and still be denied help from your own pet insurance. It has taken us this long to start one, because we were hoping that they would grant us help after reviewing his records one more time. Unfortunately, they have been, yet again, denied. This GoFundMe is to help us with the expenses we have accrued during that week at the ER and Medications/Tests/Visits.

Whether it be monetary, a share, or even a prayer for my Kiko, I am beyond grateful to you all. He is the sweetest boy, and doesn't deserve any of these health issues that he experiences. From the day we brought Kiko home, it has been one health issue after the next, and we are doing all we can to keep him happy and healthy as possible. This boy deserves the world and the best of health. We could not imagine our world with out him, especially his brother Nacho. Those two guys make our world whole, and Kiko's health is always at the top of our priority list. He has always been a fighter and we will never give up on him.

Our treatments and constant check ups will be going for the rest of his life. Medications, acupuncture, 3-6 month blood tests and medication level checks will, and have been, on going.

I appreciate you even taking the time to read this and I pray that you and your pets have happy and healthy journeys. I thank you all in advance from the bottom of our hearts, and pray that we see a better health journey moving forward. Thank you all so very much!
