Bela Lukacs Traumatic Brain Injury
Donation protected
Lukacs girls here! Hello guys, we are trying to raise money for our dad, Bela Lukacs. He fell down the stairs on April 20th and hit the back of his head pretty severely. He had internal bleeding on the right side of his brain and a stroke. Since his fall he has had multiple brain surgeries and one seizure. In the beginning days after his fall, he was in a medically induced coma for a while. After waking up and getting off the breathing tubes, he was moved to a rehab facility inside the hospital where he worked on learning how to use his motor functions and cognitive abilities again. He had surgery to get his bone put back on his skull. He was then transferred to a short-term skilled nursing home in Roseville, MN where he would continue rehab. At Roseville, his head got infected and he became very ill. He was transferred back to the hospital and he had another surgery to remove the infection in the brain and to get a piece of his skull removed again to allow for healing. He was then transferred to a Nursing home in St. Louis Park to receive more rehab. After some time getting speech, occupational, and physical rehab at St. Louis Park, he had another surgery to get an artificial bone put back on his skull. He then went back to St. Louis Park for a few weeks and then he was transferred to a Skilled nursing home in Stillwater where he is currently living today. It's been a little over five months since his brain injury, and he is still receiving therapy. It will be a long recovery process for Bela, in which nobody can give an exact time limit for; however, he has remained strong through everything. Currently, Bela is working very hard, and his long term goals will be living independently, starting work, and learning how to drive again. We will be using the funds from the GoFundMe to cover medical cost associated with his health care and also for his long-term recovery.
