Anyiah Johnson Medical Expense.

***UPDATE***

When it rains it pours for this poor family. 

Clyde (Anyiah’s father) had his vehicle stolen while they were in the hospital and 

A couple weeks before Anyiah is set to come home their house flooded due to bathroom issue. She is coming home in a matter of days and they don’t have a home to come home to. They are going to have to rent a place or an RV. They need help more than ever. 

Hi, My name is Brandon Fountain. I am a long-time friend of Clyde and Rosemary Johnson. They have three sweet girls named Raeanna, Heaven, and Anyiah. Recently Anyiah had a seizure, and the Doctors arent exactly sure what was happening. They tried some medication, and things got worse. They are making trips back and forth between Collinsville and Oklahoma City and missing work to ensure their baby gets the help she needs. I want to help them. Below is a post from Rosemary recently made on Facebook to describe what they are going through. No parents should have to feel this way.

 

"Our little family needs some big-time prayers! This week has been a very difficult week for us. On March 26th, last Saturday, it was a typical day like any other day. Anyiah was sitting on the couch, and her big sister and our doggies knew something wasn't right with her. She was having a seizure. We were all at home. She was sitting on the couch and didn't hurt herself. Really scary for both our sisters and us. But thank you, God, for making sure the circumstances couldn't have been any better.

When we arrived at the hospital, not long after getting in and being evaluated, she had another seizure, and this one was way scarier, to be honest. They had to administer meds this time. They then transported us by ambulance to OKC children's hospital, where we stayed till Tuesday. They did a CT, CT with dye, MRI, EEG, blood work, and urine. At first, they thought it was a stroke with the CT, but after the MRI determined that she has Periventricular heterotopia. This is displacement of nerves in the brain. Symptoms usually begin with young adolescents with seizure activity. It's rare and the only known way to treat is the seizure activity with medication. There's no current cure.

So they started her on levetriacetam (Keppra) which is a seizure medication. Almost immediately after beginning the medication we began noticing adverse side effects. If anyone knows Anyiah, she is the sweetest, kindest, shy kid and always caring for others and animals. She wouldn't hurt a bug. Maybe let someone else hurt it because she's afraid of bugs, but she couldn't and wouldn't. This medication has turned her into a different child. To be totally honest, it's terrifying, confusing, sad and any other emotion you could put in there.

We are physically, mentally and emotionally drained. She's not eating, she's not drinking, she lost 7 pounds in a week. She won't sleep, and she's exhausted. Her emotional outbursts are uncontrollable. She's angry, sad, sick, tired, happy, hot, cold, confused, and physically combative.

How can this happen? Our baby was just fine that morning. Our lives have been turned upside down. We just want our baby back.

We need prayers. This hurts Momma and Daddy's heart so bad. There's nothing we can do to make it better. We are trying. We don't know if or when she will be normal and able to return to school or daily function. Our situation is so fluid right now. Please pray over our baby, PLEASE pray over our family. "

 

This is the most stressful event they have ever encountered. Can we help them, please?
