Medical Help for Baby Lucas

Donation protected


When Shannon and Luke found out they were pregnant with Lucas they were ecstatic, but paranoid at the same time.  Shannon hasn't had much luck with pregnancy's, and Lucas is their miracle baby.  Before they got pregnant with Luke they adopted precious Layla.

Lucas was apparently born with a tumor in his brain that no one knew about until the end of June 2014.  In May 2014 he started getting really sick, so his parents took him to the hospital.  There they kept trying different formulas to see what he would keep down.  Really nothing was working until they tried the original formula they had him on in the first place.  But then again he wasn't getting any better.  He's still really tiny.  At 9 month old, he only weighs 14 lbs.  Children's Mercy still wasn't doing anything, so finally Lucas' Dr. did an MRI or CT scan and found the tumor. July 1st they went in and took about 2/3rds of the tumor, but the whole time the surgery was going they were worried little Lucas wouldn't make it because of how weak he was.  He pulled through and he's doing OK.  They're going to do Chemo on him.

We'd like to start a fund for the family to help them out.  Luke and Shannon have down sized their home and the bills will be piling up. Any help you can offer would be so appreciated.  Prayers are needed minute by minute.
God bless you and your family.
