 Hello All, Andre was a previously healthy and vibrant 3 year old boy who enjoyed playing basketball, baseball,watching Stephen Curry, and watching Paw Patrol until he caught the flu and it caused swelling on his brain causing him to develop Acute Necrotizing Encephalapthy which is very rare and not very common. Andre is one of the first African American cases of this nasty disease caused from the influenza virus. This disease has a very high mortality rate only 30% of people survive and were blessed to say Andre is part of the 30%!!!!!!! Andre spent 11 days in Valley Childrens PICU and 2 months in rehab. Andre is currently in physical therapy, occuaptional therapy and speech therapy to help him regain skills he lost from this nasty virus.  Andre has been accepted into intensive rehab at NAPA  therapy center in LA for 3 weeks in spring 2018 where he will be doing intense thearpy to regain strength so that he can have more control of his limbs and start working towards walking the cost is 7700$and it not covered by insurance in addition to paying for therapy we would also have to pay for housing which is another 2900$ http://www.napacenter.org/
