FUNDS FOR AUDREY'S LEG BRACES
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
For those of you that may not know me, My name is Audrey Alaniz and I am 22 years Old. In October of 2015 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Demyelination of the brain, and Stiff Person Syndrome. I went from living a normal life one day, to being fully paralyzed the next. Its been a journey since then. I went from a long hospital stay to living in a nursing home for rehab,and even after that Home Health,Physical and Occupational Therapy to help increase the function of my hands and feet.
At this time my Neurologist in Houston has stopped all physical therapy due to extreme spasticity in my legs. I have regained most of my upper body strength, The only thing that is holding me back from almost being back to my normal self is my legs. I recently went to Houston to recieve my first set of Botox injections to see if that would help with all the the spasticity my legs obtain. I will travel to Houston every 2 to 3 months for more botox injections.
After a few trials of botox my neurologist will order Physical Therapy once again, if I continue with PT at this time I could hurt myself rather then help myself.
I am asking for your help at this time.To help in purchasing leg braces (AFOs) that could really make a difference in my recovery process and get me walking on my own 2 feet again. I do have insurance,but there is a set back at this time with purchasing leg braces. Its the beginning of the year and i have not yet met my deductible of ($3,000) the braces must be paid in full before i can recieve them. My only worry is that by the time i am able to meet my deductible,my legs will worsen and i will be confined to a wheel chair for the rest of my life.
Thank you in advance for you generosity and your donations. God Bless
