Justus Nikolao

Donation protected

Alyse and Jason Nikolao moved to Tigard, Oregon after living in Nashville for 4 years.  Alyse completed her ARNP at Vanderbilt in Family Practice and Midwifery. They have 2 children Justus, 4 and his sister Amaya 2. Justus loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, singing Katina songs and riding his bike at the park. He has memorized a Bible verse for each letter of the alphabet, has a very charismatic personality, makes people laugh and loves life! Justus was recently discharged from Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel in Portland, OR on November 24th.  Through God's grace he has continued to amaze and wonder all including his doctors and nurses with his fighting spirit.  Justus continues to recover from the viral encephalitis that struck him suddenly on July 31st  and is consistently showing tiny steps in progress. He had his cranial flap surgery October 27th at Doernbecher Children's Hospital and continued his recovery Randall before he was recently sent home.

Justus' rehabilitation doctors estimate acute recovery to take between 6-12 months as he continues his outpatient speech, occupational and physical therapy.

Many loved ones have expressed the desire to donate and help in any way they can out of generosity and love for the family so this page has been set up.

While Justus works hard at getting better, his parents Alyse & Jason along littler sister Amaya and family are by his side.  These donations allow the family to fully support Justus during his recovery.

We continue to believe in and trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. While we continue  down this unexpected path, we rest in the security of God's truth. 

We were blown away with how quickly the initial goal we set was reached and we want to thank you immensely.  Recognizing that Justus' stay continues, we have adjusted the goal to acknowledge the on-going costs for care and treatment. We will continue to keep the site open because we don't know what the total need will be and there isn't a limit or expiration date to GoFundMe. 

We covet your prayers knowing that ultimately we will rest in God's will for Justus and our family. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for your prayers. We are forever grateful!!!
