-----------------------------------------------------------------
At the start of February, I was having dinner with my family when I started to feel terrible. I measured my blood sugar and the machine said my levels were dangerously high. I didn’t want to take any chances, so I went straight to the hospital.
I could never have imagined they would admit me to the hospital for two whole months!
The doctors in the ER told me I had pneumonia and that my vital organs were starting to fail. After weeks of tests and scans, I was diagnosed with psoriasis of the liver and I have now been added to the transplant list.
While stuck in a hospital bed for months, my legs stopped responding and I became unable to walk. It took weeks of physical therapy to regain enough strength to use a walker, brush my teeth and accomplish other simple tasks.
This has been the most difficult year of my life, but my family has been an incredible support--especially my sister, who has spent countless days and nights with me, even while she looks after her children.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to work since the day I was hospitalized (February 1st) and this medical emergency has cost all of my savings.
That is why I am asking for anything you are able to contribute. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for any donation you can make.
Please pass this information on to anyone else who might be able to help.
I will share updates as I continue on this journey.
Lots of love,
Ana Maria
