Nursing Kartiay back to health (medical expenses)
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Keana and On April 14th I was called to my sons school to get him because he had fallen ill. Vomiting badly and complained about some neck pains. At that point he’s crying for me. I get to the school and they say he had just fallen asleep. The second I picked him up I knew he wasn’t sleeping, I then go to shake him and try to stand his body up but nothing. He wasn’t responding at all. The school immediately called the ambulance where he was rushed to the hospital. From there they began to work on him and figure out why he’s not waking up it was then that they found out he was having a silent seizure. Because he’s never had one before they need to figure out why he’s having one now. After having a CT scan for trauma I was called to a pre-op room where I was told he needs surgery. An aneurysm in the back of his head that we never knew was there ruptured. Which is what caused the seizure. At this point he has a blood clot in his head and needs surgery right away. They had hopes of being able to coil or glue the clot until he heals. Unfortunately they weren’t able too as he would have had a stroke due to the artery being too close. And not even 24hrs later he underwent surgery again, this time to remove the clot. They successfully removed it and he will have a drain in his head for as long as a month. Tomorrow makes a week he’s been in ICU and he is still on a breathing machine, also there are some clots in the veins in his arms. Moving forward he will need a plate in his head to protect his skull and brain, and rehabilitation plus therapy. Kartiay enjoys video games, basketball, runs really fast and is quite the gymnast. He also loves reading and math. Please help me nurse my once healthy baby boy back to the strong happy smart loving kid I’ve always known him to be. My goal is to raise 25,000 to cover medical bills etc. Every donation counts and is greatly appreciated!
