Help Little Ezra Heal
Donación protegida
Ezra Stevenson on vacation was rushed to a Sacramento hospital after being run over at a highway rest stop. CHP officers say the 3-year-old boy has major injuries after being hit at a rest stop just outside Modesto.
Ezra and his parents are from Tacoma, Washington and were on a road trip.
As dawn broke on February 14th, Ezra's blood pressure had dropped a little over night so the hospital took blood tests, everything came back ok on that. They are still inflating his lungs with an oscillator, and keeping him sedated so he can't cause any damage to himself.
Last heard, His collar bone is broken as well as his mandible on the left side of his chin, for now they're going to leave his jaw as it is and it's possible it could heal within a week. They're working on weaning him from the oscillator and getting him on a ventilator so he can undergo surgery for his legs. His left leg is in a skin traction and they can only do one leg at a time, for 48 hours. His blood pressure is still low, but it's a stable low, so they are keeping close watch on it to make sure it doesn't drop again. There is no fluid in his lungs but there is fluid around his lungs that they're working on draining with tubes. Also, his carotid artery in his neck (going to his brain) was injured but they are unsure to what degree. He is still not appearing to show any signs of brain injury or head trauma.
Through all this shock and stress Michelle, who is 27 weeks pregnant with Ezra's little brother Aankor thankfully did not go into early labor. However having Tacoma, WA being their home and being stuck in the Sacremento, CA area for an undetermined amount of time, expenses will be costly as they way for Ezra to heal. Please help the Stevenson family in any way possible. Prayers are always welcome and please just spreading the word and using the hashtag #PrayersForEzra would be greatly appreciated.
