Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
-Luke 18:27
WHAT WENT BEFORE:
On February 1, 2020 at 2pm Giorgio was brought to ER due to neck pain and numbness in half of his body. After being checked by the doctor, he was sent home and was told to rest. This despite Gio telling the doctors he felt numbness in his stomach.
At 1:30am of February 2nd Gio was brought back to emergency by paramedics due to half body paralysis. After hours of being in the emergency care he became paralyzed from neck down and he was put on a breathing machine and feeding tube.
February 4th Gio was told he will always be in breathing machine, feeding tube and wont be able to regain his movement. One of the doctor said Gio should be able to choose if he wanted to live or not.
FINDINGS ON GIO's CONDITION:
After having a surgery to take the lump in his spine that is causing the pain, the biopsy came back as Chordoma. The finding was spinal cancer. Gio stayed at the ICU for more than 2 months and is now in spinal rehab. He proved them wrong, he is now off the machine and is waiting for radiation for his spinal tumor.
Gio is a volunteer, student and part time dietary aide at a personal care home. He was supposed to start as full time clerk at CRA last March 15 but due to this ailment he won't be able to do so.
We need help for him to start over again. Any amount will be of great help. We sincerely thank you in advance. To those who had offered prayers for Gio, thank you.
Heavenly Father, it hurts so bad. Dull the pain with Your love. Blur the sharp edges by reminding me that from bad comes good. Help me appreciate that after the sorrow, joy is sweeter. I look forward to better times. I can endure anything with You by my side. Amen.
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
*We always play “Lord I Offer You My Life” for Gio in the ICU to give him strength and inspiration to fight and for him to remember, that God has a purpose in all of this.”
