*Prayers for baby PJ*

Donation protected
I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first child, a daughter, named PJ. At 20 weeks out doctor referred us to a specialist, Dr. Edwards, because they said her chest appeared "cystic-y". Our first appointment with Dr. Edwards was Nov. 11th, and he confirmed that there were cysts in her chest, and that he would be monitoring it. At that point he said there was a 15% chance her condition would resolve itself, and naturally- that is what we were praying for. Our second visit with the specialist was Dec. 2nd, and we got worse news than we'd expected. The entire left side of PJ's chest is cystic tissue and there is fluid around her heart. I have an appt Dec. 19th to meet with the pediatric surgeon who will look at her chest and make plans for surgery, and also let us know the possible outcomes for her condition. But as of now- surgery is inevitable. I have another appt with our specialist, Dr. Edwards, the same day, he will measure the fluid around her heart again and if it has increased he will do a procedure to drain it. He said right now that's his main concern, because it could cause heart failure. The specialist said they don't know how much of her lungs are able to function, they can make out the left lung but the entire right side of her chest is a mass of cysts. He said they won't know anything about the condition of her lung/lungs until surgery. Right now we know I will have to give birth in either Atlanta or Augusta, and she will be transported immediately to the children's hospital for surgery. We are expecting to be in either Atlanta or Augusta for a minimum of a month, for that time my Husband will be out of work. We are asking for donations to help us cover expenses for the time my husband will be out of work. Any little bit will help. I will update as often as I learn new information, thank you everyone for your prayers and support!
