@kastiel.thecancerwarrior: We were so excited to welcome our baby girl, dreaming about tiny toes, little fingers, and all the snuggles. We moved in the middle of my pregnancy to East Texas. I went to my first appointment with my new OB thinking it would be a normal quick visit with an ultrasound. Little did I know our entire world was about to be flipped upside down. We learned that baby Lawson has several severe life-threatening congenital heart defects. She will need multiple open-heart surgeries to have a chance at surviving. Shortly after birth, baby Jax will undergo her first major open-heart surgery - the Norwood procedure - and will spend 2-3 weeks in the Cardiac ICU, then another 2-3 weeks on the cardiac recovery floor. Hopefully, we will then be released if everything goes well. Released for us though doesnt mean we get to go home. Because of the complications and higher risk for mortality between the first and second surgery, we will be required to live near the hospital for 6-7 months minimum, possibly a full year. This was not something we could have ever planned for emotionally or financially. We are now facing enormous costs for housing, transportation, bills, and basic needs of supporting our three other little boys and ourselves while fighting for Lawson’s life. We are asking for donations to help us have the ability to stay by our baby girl’s side during this highly critical time. Because due to the complexity of her diagnosis, tomorrow is hoped for but definitely not promised. Please consider donating, sharing our story, and lifting our baby girl up in your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
