Skylar's Funeral Expense

Donation protected
Skylar is a beautiful 2 year old girl, who needed to have open heart surgery to repair 2 holes in her heart on May 31, 2016.  Several days after her surgery, she suffered some setbacks and was placed onto ECMO life support.  She had a breathing tube and was on paralytic medicine.  She was on life support for about a week and started to make great progress.  They took her off of life support, removed the breathing tube, and inserted a feeding tube.  On Saturday June 11, she got pnuemonia.  They had to remove the feeding tube, and put the breathing tube back in.  On Monday June 13, she was diagnosed with pulmonary hemorrhaging.   Her lungs have been filling with fluid, and they have had to drain her lungs twice.  They are currently deciding about putting her back onto ECMO life support.  

Through this entire trial, Skylar's parents, Thomas and Tasha, have barely left her side.  They have been in the hospital for over 2 weeks now.  Neither parent has been able to go to work.  Thomas has been using vacation time, but Tasha is an independent contractor and doesn't have vacation benefits, so no work = no pay.  Not only are their household bills starting to accumulate, the massive amount of medical expenses are also escalating.  

If you have it in your hearts and are able to donate any money, no matter how little, they will be eternally grateful.  They are more importantly requesting prayers for their baby girl's healing and health.  They just want to be able to bring Skylar home!

Thank you so very much for reading!
