We’ve been in Atlanta since March 10, 2023. My last day at work was on February 28,2023 due to my daughter brain injury. She’s suffering from Cerebellitis. She was a normal, very active dancing teen & she got sick & started throwing up. We thought maybe she had a stomach bug. She was admitted into our local Hospital, Fairview Park on 2/28/23. By 3/2/23, her speech sounded like someone who had suffer from a stroke & she started falling over trying to walk. She stop throwing up on 3/3/22, so the Hospital discharged her to home. Even though she couldn’t talk or walk on her own. So, on the morning of 3/5/22 I drove her to Piedmont Hospital in Macon, Ga. They did some testing and seen she had swelling on her spine & transferred her by ambulance to Navient Children Hospital on the other side of Macon, Ga. They did even more testing and the MRI showed that the left side of her cerebellum was fully swollen & some of the right side was. They started steroids treatment thinking it would help. By Friday, 3/10/23, she begin throwing up again. They did another MRI, it showed the swelling was worse. They then airlifted her to Eagleston Hospital in Atlanta, Ga. She was placed on the ventilator for 24 hours to have an IV placed in her neck for the needed treatment, IVIG & the Plasma Exchange. She was moved from ICU at Egleston Hospital to a regular room on 3/17/22 & on 3/22/23 she was transferred by ambulance to Scottish Rite Hospital to further go physical therapy and care. She has to learn how to walk and talk again. She’s being feed via a GI Tube. She’s been released from our 5th Hospital on May 8, 2023 to the Ronald McDonald House to attend Outpatient Rehabilitation therapy. We were just advised on today, that she will need to stay in therapy longer than the expected release date of July 12, 2023. She’ll now be in therapy until mid August 2023. Prior to all of this I was working Full-time at the Carl Vinson VA Hospital. I’m now on Leave without pay. Due to these circumstances I’m unable to return to work because I’m her primary caregiver.
