Help with travel and medical expenses

Hey, I'm coming to you all today and asking for any help you might could donate towards my best Friend, Lakin and her son Hunter. She's not aware of this, and im gonna try to hide this from her on Facebook, just trying to take a little stress off her shoulders, cause there's already enough of that there.

On February 6th is when this whole ordeal started. Hunter began running fever and a swelling began to occur on his eye. They made an appointment with his doctor for Monday morning the 7th. Symptoms only increased, fever increased, dizziness accompanied it along with nausea. While in doctor's office his fever spiked to 103 and had a severe asthma attack as soon as they got it under control he was transported to the ER. The ER released later that night saying it was inflammation of the sinus cavity and some in the muscles and sent him home with some strong antibiotics to continue for 3 weeks.
The following morning on the 8th things worsened and another ER trip was made where he was then transfered to children's sacred heart in Pensacola. The pain increased and the fevers only got higher, and he had developed an unctrollable twitch. Upon arrival they began treating for infection around his eye muscle and in his sinus cavity, however all infection and swelling was putting pressure on his head which was causing the twitches.
They moved him into ICU for an Overnight stay, they were seeing about draining an internal access and see how that helped. They proceeded to monitor and medicate and the next day things were looking better. The twitch had almost stopped and fevers were low grade. The Doctors had come to the conclusion he was dealing with "periorbital cellulitis secondary to sinusitis" they would do a small procedure to help alleviate some of his discomfort and pressure and to try and treat the aggressive infection.
After the procedure, he had two asthma attacks but was back on the mend. No more swelling, no pressure, and no more twitch, and was cleared to eat and drink. On the 10th he was finally moved out of ICU and told that on Monday the 14th they would be doing a pic line to make it easier to administer the antibiotics for the infection.
On the 11th, it was basically right back to square one. Headaches, twitching, nausea, and fever were back.
At this point he had an infectious disease specialist, ent specialist, ophthalmologist, pediatrician, and a neuro surgeon all looking into this while waiting for cultures to come back from the stuff they got in the procedure.
That night of the 11th they came back with "cavernous Sinus Thrombosis"
The next day he was back and sitting up and feeling better and the thrombosis was off the table. They would do a procedure te next day to drill into his Skull and try and take out more of the infection. After the procedure fever and pain were gone instantly! Things were improving and home was insight. They preceded the next day with the pic line, unfortunately afterwards the fever struck again.
Now here we are on the 16th, and they're doing a more intensive surgery today, they'll be removing a playing card sized piece of his Skull and flushing and cleaning the brain cavity. So home and back to work to be able to pay bills is back to a standstill. So if you have it to donate, it would be greatly appreciated, if you don't believe me they understand, just share this, share a prayer, or send some energy their way please.
