Gary’s blood work came out positive for a parasite /roundworm found in dog bites and it's called Toxocara. This has been the cause to my husband losing his eyesight on both eyes and it has turned our life upside down.
When Gary was admitted they performed a spinal tap and it came out that his brain has alot of pressure and his protein levels are at 86 when the range should be from 15 - 45.
He has been experiencing lots of chest pains and shortness of breath so an echo cardiogram was done yesterday (5/3/18) at the hospital and came back that he has an Aneurysm in his Aorta which is also disheartening. So I can't stress the sense of urgency enough.
I'm asking for alot of help with prayer and with anything that anyone can help for a two-week prescription of this particular antibiotic called Albendazole, which costs over 12,000 dollars and his insurance will only cover 5 days of it , leaving us with over 8,000 dollars.
His neurologist partnered with a micro biologists and a infectious disease doctor and this antibiotic is the only one that can destroy this parasite. Since the bite we have accumulated enormous amount of medical bills since we’ve seen ophthalmologists/ retinal specialist/ neuro-ophthalmologists/ several hospital visits. Once again anything well help. I'm at a loss for words only that time is of essence to try to get his vision back- if any.
