Gabriel Lee Kirby

As many of you know, as you have followed out crazy updates since Tuesday afternoon, I was involved in an accident Tuesday, in Statesboro, GA around 3 o' clock. A wreckless driver slammed into me from behind on campus, causing me to jolt forward, pinching my lower abdomen with the seatbelt, my upper abdomen slammed into the steering wheel, and caused my shoulder to jar which has caused great discomfort. I was 33 weeks pregnant at the time with my son, Gabriel Lee Kirby. The driver who hit me, continued on with his day, unaffected by the accident he had just caused by driving recklessly, and after very clearly seeing me exit my car and to see that I was very pregnant.. A classic hit and run. After arriving at our local hospital, the staff realized the trauma I suffered from hitting the steering wheel caused my placenta to rupture and both Gabriel and I were bleeding internally. They quickly made the decision to deliver Gabriel 7 weeks early by emergency c-section. Shortly after delivery, they transported Gabriel to Georgia Regents University to the NICU because he could not breathe on his own, as his lungs were not developed enough. I stayed behind in Statesboro to recover from the wreck and c-serction. It has been a long journey already, and we've just begun. The LOVE, SUPPORT, and PRAYERS we have recieved and continue to recieve is unbelievable and we are forever grateful! We set this account up only for those asking what more they can do to help us through this time! As I stated before, we are so grateful for everything everyone has done thus far. Gabriel has a long road ahead of him, but God has his hands wrapped around him, as he did at the time of the wreck. We have been blessed by the Ronald McDonald house and its amazing staff. We have met so many families with so many amazing stories, and we would really like to pay it forward, so that is one of the big reasons for this Go Fund Me account, to pour into the amazing charity that goes above and beyond for so many families! The other part of this account will be to help us in the weeks to come with gas,  grocceries, etc. as we have to travel back and forth between Statesboro and Augusta. Also, we werent expecting me to be on maternity leave quite yet, so we werent quite prepped finacially for this event. I once again, want to express how grateful we are for all the clothes donations, nursing donations, and prayers sent already! We could not make it through this journey with out all of our family and friends who have been with us through this journey! May God bless all of you!
