Support Charlie Daniel Ray Lane

Hello my name is Abby Hummel and i'm a friend of Amber Lanes. I know Alot of you have been following Charlie's story. If your like me you are praying and your hearts are aching for them but you may be at a loss on how you can help.  This is why i am setting up this go fund me page. These donations well be going for Amber and Abrahams living expenses. As some may know Abraham was out of a job for a month and Amber was put on bedrest and not working. Abraham just started a new job but well not be recieving any pay for 2 weeks. Now bills are piled up and they really could use our help.  So if you where like me and wanted to do something but not sure what or how this is a way that would bless them emencly!

Charlie Daniel Ray Lane, born at 5:29 am and   weighing 3lbs 1oz

This is the information we have as of right now
They found out Charlie has a brain bleed.  He has a grade 2 brain bleed and they'll know more Thursday if it's gotten worse. They can hold him only once a day. Charlies also has got an infection and they're doing tests to see if it's meningitis. Today they where able to put charlie on a nose cannula instead of the face mask and is breathing great. 
 
                                Amber & Abraham


As you can imagen they are trying to keep there head above water. Watching your son fight for his life is not easy, as well as loving and caring for there daughter Skyla. Its a hard journey being a premie parent, going back and forth from hospital. Amber is healing from giving birth and also she came down with Pupps rash.  Abraham started his new job but seemed like they had every force against them with car trouble . Pray for grace and favor with Boss! Also continue to pray for Peace and rest. 

I know they appricate all your support and uplifting words!
But i'd like us to take it a step further and help lighten there load practicly. Please give what you can.



October 5th 2016 { Ambers Personal Update}

Charlie update (as I cuddle him right now):
Ps this might be long.

Soooooo man. A lot of stuff going on. I'll try and keep it organized.

Charlie: he has a grade 2 brain bleed (it goes from grade 1-4). He will have another scan tomorrow to see if it has spread. Brain bleeds can resolve on their own, or can grow and cause very permanent brain damage and affect development at so many levels.
He was checked for a pda (a hole in the heart), and his heart looks good. He had a chest X-ray and his lungs look good for now. He is being treated for an infection. He is having a spinal tap today to check if he has meningitis.
He was switched from cpap (oxygen support that provides oxygen flow and breaths) to 3 liters of oxygen in nose cannula (provides oxygen but no breaths).
He is taking 2.5 ml of breast milk every 3 hours, and is kind of struggling to digest it.
I'm limited to about 1 hold a day, but so far I've been holding him 2 hours as I sit here. Yes I'm pretty sore and cramping all over haha.

Abraham: he started a new job at Schwanns Monday and this has been stressful. He was without a job for a month and bills are piling high. Our cars starter died as well, and then a van we borrowed died. So it's been pretty awful. I think he'll like his new job though. He barely gets to see Charlie. Probably only on weekends. He also hasn't held him yet. He is being a freaking awesome husband, and he could soooo use words of encouragement or a gift or a taco or whatever!!! Bless him if you can pleeeease!

Amber:I am running off of maybe 3 hrs of sleep a night. Not because I don't have time. More because my brain is way past overload and I just can't get sleep. I feel like I'm in a dream. Not a very happy one. Pumping is going awesome so that's one positive. I pump about every 2 hours and feel like my souls belongs to the pump. Not so fun. But it's literally like the only thing I can do for Charlie.
My PUPPS rash has been hell. Literally worse than giving birth. Can barely hold Skyla. It's literally everywhere. Legs arms tummy back lips mouth and other areas. On steroids to help it go away.
Emotionally I am drained. Numb. Disconnected. It's hard to explain to others who've not been thru this. Sure, Charlie is moving along and I get to hold him. But it literally feels like I'm holding a baby that isn't mine. I remember with Skyla I didn't feel like her mom or feel a bond until I got to take her home 4 months later. So many cords, beeps, alarms, nurses and doctors, other families, glass between me and him. And when I hold, you'd think it'd be awesome, which it totally is! But he's so small and fragile. I can barely move with all the cords around him. I can't move him because he's super sensitive. I can't rock because he's sensitive. I can't rub his back because he's too sensitive. And not moving for 2 hours creates a very sore and stiff body.
I don't want to complain or not be thankful, but my heart is so heavy and so emotionally constipated. Can you get a suppository for your heart?
I also miss Abraham. It's hard pumping and having a heavy heart with a toddler all over. He works a good 10-12 hours a day and by the time he gets home he wants sleep and I want to see baby.

Skyla: This girl is a rockstar. She's getting shipped to different people's houses everyday and sharing me with Charlie and the demon pump. She's been a little more clingy and I can tell she misses me. I barely get to connect with her and miss her. On a happy note, she's starting to form words and seems so big now that we have Charlie. She's such a trooper.

Ok so that was long ha. If anything it was therapeutic writing this. I love you all and am so thankful for all the support and prayers and encouragement. If you want to support us, meals or gift cards are always a huuuuge blessing. We also have a go find me account. Love you all tons and thank you for sharing our journey and heavy hearts.
