Annasophia's Fund for a New Liver
Fondos para un nuevo higado para Annasophia

Hello everyone, my name is Daniela Barron, from San Diego, CA. I am here asking for help for my daughter Annasophia who just turned 8 months old and needs a liver transplant.
Hola mi nombre es Daniela Barron, de San Diego,CA y estoy aqui pidiendo apoyo para mi hija Annasophia de 8 meses para poder hacerle un transplante de higado. When she was 10 weeks old she started getting jaundice. We went to the doctor and they sent her to get blood work done. That same day she was sent to the hospital because she had really high levels of bilirubin, which were affecting her liver. She had a liver biopsy which showed that her liver was getting damaged because she had unnormal bile ducts and doctors had to check if she had biliary atresia, which is malformation or non existance of bile ducts that connect the liver to the large intestine.
Cuando cumplió 10 semanas de nacida, los ojos y pielecita de Anna se empezaron a poner amarillos. La llevamos al doctor y la mandaron a hacer estudios para ver si era por falta de vitaminas o por causa de su higado. Ese mismo dia, nos llamaron para que la llevaramos a internar al hospital porque sus niveles de bilirubina en la sangre salieron muy altos y esto estaba deteriorando su higado. Le hicieron una biopsia donde vieron que cada vez su higado se iba dañando mas y mas porque sus ductos biliares eran anormales. Con estos resultados los doctores decidieron operarla para ver si tenia atresia biliar, que es cuando los ductos biliares estan mal formados o no existen y no permiten que se conecte el higado con el intestino grueso.

At just 12 weeks old, she went to surgery, but doctors could not perform the complete operations because when they opened her up they saw that she did not have biliary atresia.
We were sent home 3 weeks after the surgery but she had to keep going every week to get blood work to check her blood levels.
A sus 12 semanas, estubo en sirugia, pero los doctores no pudieron encontrar la atresia biliar al abrir su pansita. Sus ductos estaban ahi pero no habia señal de esa enfermedad.  Nos quedamos 3 semanas en el hospital despues de su sirugia y luego nos mandaron a casa sin ningun diagnostico, pero teniamos que estar llendo cada semana para que le hicieran examenes de laboratorio para checar sus niveles de la sangre.

We have been in and out of the hospital due to her liver problem and doctors were not able to find what was causing this liver damage.
In November she was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has to eat through a tube that goes through her nose all the way to her stomach .
Hemos estado llendo y viniendo al hospital por causa de su problema en el higado y los doctores aun no encontraban la razon por la que su higado se estaba deteriorando. 
En noviembre la diagnosticaron con cirrhosis y ha tenido que estar comiendo por un tubo que entra por su naricita y llega a su estomago. 

On January 22, 2016, Annasophia had a regular doctor's appointment and her doctor noticed that herstomach was more extended than usual and we were sent to the emergency room.
We were there for a week without knowing what was causing it.
El 22 de enero, Annasophia tuvo una cita de chequeo con su doctora y ella notó que su pansita estaba mas inflamada de lo normal y nos mando directo a emergencias. Nos quedamos ahi en el hospital por una semana sis saber que era lo que lo estaba causando.

Later that week, on January 28, I left to school at SDSU, and received a phone call right before I entered my class. The doctor had told me that Annasophia had to be transferred the next day to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center to get evaluated for a liver transplant.
Doctors had told us before that a transplant was a possibility, but they didn't think it would be this soon.
I had to drop my classes and ask for a leave of absence so I could come with my daughter.
Al final de esa semana, el 28 de enero, yo tuve que ir a la universidad para ir a clases, SDSU, y antes de entrar a mi clase me llamaron del hospital diciendome que tenian que transferir a mi niña al hospital Ronald Regan UCLA en Los Angeles para evaluarla y hacerle un trasplante de higado. Tuve que dejar todas mis clases y pedir permiso para dejar la escuela este semestre para poder venir con mi hija sin perder mi lugar en la universidad. 

We don't know how long we would have to stay here. It depends on how fast a liver becomes available, but if it doesn't come soon, I will be donating part of my liver for my daughters transplant.
No sabemos cuanto tiempo tendremos que estar aca en Los Angeles, todo depende de que tan rapido haya un donante, y si no sale uno pronto, yo sere la que le done parte de mi higado para que se lo pongan a ella. 

We are asking for your help so we can pay for her medical expenses, and if I do become the donor, mine too. It would also help us pay for personal expenses like hotel, food, and transportation for when my husband comes visit us from San Diego.
Estamos pidiendo ayuda para poder pagar los gastos medicos de Annasophia, y si yo soy la donante, tambien los mios. Tambien nos ayudaria para pagar cosas como hotel, comida, y transportacion para cuando mi esposo venga a visitarnos desde San Diego.

We really apreciate any help, and we ask that you keep us in your prayers.
Les agradecemos cualquier ayuda, y les pedimos que nos mantengan en sus oraciones. 

Thank you so much in advance. 
De antemano, muchas gracias.
