Care for Kade Lattimore
Donation protected
Thank you to everyone who has been thinking and praying for Kade and the Lattimore family. For those of you who don’t know, Kade lives and goes to school in Oklahoma and on Saturday 6/12 he was out to dinner with his friends when he passed out and had to be carried out of the restaurant. His friends took him to the hospital in Stillwater, where he was later released after a few hours and some testing.
One of Kade’s friends facetimed Shara, and she immediately drove up there at 10pm to check on him, as Kade has a history of mycoplasma encephalitis and has suffered several side effects since then. By the time Shara got to Stillwater, Kade was expressing that he could not feel his hands at all. Shara drove him home the next day on Sunday 6/13, and throughout the drive back home, he was deteriorating so she took him to Methodist Midlothian hospital.
From Methodist Midlothian, he was transferred to the neuro unit at Methodist Mansfield where he has spent that last week bouncing between the neuro unit, ICU, and IMC.
He has required numerous testing, CT scans, IVIG treatments, and ultimately the insertion of a permacath to begin plasmapheresis treatments. The doctors believe he has as autoimmune disorder and are treating as atypical Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which is a condition where his immune system attacks his nerves, leading to weakness and tingling in his extremities, which can ultimately lead to paralysis if not properly treated with IVIG and plasmapheresis.
The expense of IVIG and plasmapheresis is extremely high. While Kade does have insurance, much of the treatment he has undergone will not be covered.
The next plan is for him to go to start rehab once medically ready, but the family is looking at all of their options to help him recover.
Any money donated will go directly to Kade to help him cover the expenses of his treatments and his likely extended recovery.
