Hi I am Jess, Malique's mom...he's unable to tell you his story because he has been in a hospital for the last six weeks. I encourage you to read this blog for more in depth accounts of the last 6 weeks. here is a link: http://thiscrazyadventurecalledmylife.weebly.com/blog/previous/2
Our insurance has agreed to pay a facility under a "single case agreement", we are on the hunt to find one at the level of care needed for him. The problem, not finding a faciltity willing to take our ins. Facilities are willing to take our insurance, they however don't offer the level of care needed as we are finding out.
The cost for 4 weeks at a facillity ranges, but most are between $20,000-$50,000 for the month. We have been told yes to a place , but they are SELF PAY ONLY and it's cash up front. We found a facility willing to give him a shot to stabilize him for 30 days at $10,000. It means that he can go there, become stable and then go to a treatment facility coverneved by our insurance!
What this means....it means life for my son, it means oxygen into his lungs, it means healing to someone who so desperately needs it. To me it's a heart transplant or liver; it is life giving and life saving. *One of the few reasons I put our house up for sale in hopes to get the money to pay for it. He is awaiting treatment and has been just in a holding style facilty for the last several weeks. (Rogers Inpatient, typical stay is 2-5 days, he has been ther now 3 weeks, they don't offer the tx within the inpatient dept. and at their facility, they don't offer his level of care needed in their residential programs.) He needs active treatment and he will need to go out of state to do it!
Will you help us get him to where he needs to be?
Please remember to pray!!!
*If there is any additional funding it will go towards travel expenses & needs that arise for Malique.
