Journal entry by Lester Silla

  • Finally Mateo’s BK viral infection started to trend in a downward direction. 
    • Mateo’s MD was comfortable to discharge Mateo from the hospital. 
    • Mateo was discharged from the hospital last week Tuesday. 
    • Mateo received an IV treatment for the BK virus this past Friday and is receiving one now also. 
  • We are now focusing on getting physical therapy for Mateo so he can learn how to stand and walk. 
    • CHLA can only provide 2 physical therapy sessions in a month for Mateo. 
    • All other providers we’ve found are either too far or do not take our insurance. 
    • I have reached out directly to Mateo’s case manager requesting assistance finding various intensive (physical /occupational/speech/feeding) therapies for Mateo.  


We are thankful that:

  • Mateo was discharged from the hospital. 
  • Mateo’s BK virus numbers are trending downward. 


Please pray for:

  • Finding therapy providers (physical/speech/occupational/feeding) preferably ones that can come to our home and that insurance can cover most of these expenses.
