Funds to help on Anthony's road to recovery
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
As most of you know Anthony is my nephew and he has had several medical issues in his short 2 years of life and on January 24th, 2019 we found out that he has hydrocephalus (A build-up of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain). Anthony needs special care for 7 months from the day of his surgery which means my sister will not be able to work until then. Some of you know that my sister has 3 kids and at the moment the only income they have comes from their dad.
His behavior changed drastically in the month of January; showing signs of aggression, panic attacks and other symptoms when his mom decided to take him to the ER because it was becoming almost impossible to take care of him. At the ER, his mom brought up that Anthony’s balance is not getting better and it continues to affect him. The doctors decided to do a CT Scan and found swollen ventricles and abnormal amount of fluid on the brain. Doctors don’t know why. Anthony is still hospitalized, waiting to find a solution. An MRI Scan was ordered and results show that not only two of his ventricles are swollen but all. His brain is either producing more fluid than what it should or is not absorbing it at the same rate is producing it. Next is a Spinal Tap to determine the pressure along with other things. His blood pressure is also causing concern to the doctors since is showing abnormal at times. Part of this has affected his ability to sustain his balance and other issues.
My nephews are very important to me and I want you all to know that donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated.
These funds will help Anthony’s family with hospital/surgery bills, expenses, Anthony’s siblings childcare expenses since my sister has to stay with Anthony in hospital and his dad works, traveling expenses for Anthony’s clinic and hospital visits coming up, meals and other bills; such as help with housing.
Thank you.
