13-Year-Old Hannah Released From Arizona Hospital After Brain Bleed; Father’s U.S. Stay Is Temporary

Temporary humanitarian entry reunited the family with the father authorized to stay for a short period during the child’s supervised scans and rehabilitation.

Overview

  • The family announced Monday that 13-year-old Hannah was discharged from a Phoenix hospital after being airlifted from Mexico for intensive care following a brain bleed.
  • Doctors performed advanced vascular testing in the ICU but have not identified a cause for the bleed and have scheduled further MRIs and scans during roughly a month of supervised recovery.
  • Hannah was sent home on anti-seizure medication and will undergo rehabilitation for partial vision loss, facial droop, and mild weakness.
  • Armando was initially denied entry at the U.S. border but secured a short-term humanitarian authorization that allowed him to reunite with Hannah and Kenny in Arizona; that authorization is time-limited and reported to expire soon.
  • A GoFundMe and wide fan and franchise support have raised six-figure aid for medical and travel expenses, and the family’s attorney says legal efforts are continuing to extend Armando’s stay.
