Urgent Humanitarian Case For Our Grandfather
I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my grandfather, who is currently facing a very critical medical situation.
Since February, we have been going through countless tests, doctor visits, and hospital consultations trying to understand his condition. After all this time, doctors have confirmed that he has a tumor in his pituitary gland and needs urgent surgery.
If he doesn’t undergo the surgery as soon as possible, he will lose his vision. My grandfather already lost one eye when he was only 23 years old. This means that if we don’t act now, he could become completely blind.
Because of his age, doctors cannot perform a traditional brain surgery. The only option is a delicate and specialized procedure done through the nose. Many doctors refused to take the risk, but we finally found a specialist who is able to perform this surgery.
On Monday, May 18, he underwent surgery, and at first it was successful. After the operation, he was speaking and smiling normally.
But suddenly, a few hours later, he developed severe bleeding in the brain and had to undergo a second emergency surgery immediately.
The doctors managed to control the bleeding, but since then he has been in the ICU under critical care. He now needs continuous monitoring, scans, medications, oxygen support, treatment for inflammation in his lungs, and blood pressure control after everything his body has gone through.
We already paid everything we had from our savings and even borrowed money to continue his treatment, but we are now completely over budget and unable to keep up with the hospital expenses anymore. Every day there are new urgent medical needs, tests, and treatments required to keep him stable and continue fighting.
We are asking for help so he can continue receiving the treatment at Al Khoury Hospital, in Hamra that he urgently needs and hopefully recover, God willing.
Any help or support would truly mean the world to us during this painful time.
Thank you for reading and may God bless you for helping people in need.
