thank you for your support

Pippa Daspit, an 18 month old

baby from Helena, Alabama, became ill with high fevers on October 18. What her parents thought would be a short-lived common cold, has persisted into a relentless illness. For now 17 days (as of Nov. 3), she has continued to run fevers often reaching over 106.

The doctors are baffled by her illness. In the past 2 weeks, she has undergone CT scans, bone scan, spinal tap, multiple blood tests, and is scheduled to have a bone marrow biopsy.

All her tests have returned negative, which continues to add to the mystery of her cause of illness.

Pippa has been receiving care at Chikdren's Hospital for over a week. Her mom, Kelly, is a teacher who has taken a leave of absence from work. Her dad, Tommy, is self-employed and he has had to put his business on hold for now. This, in addition to (as of yet) unknown medical expenses, is the reason for this GoFundMe. 

In total, the Daspits have four children. In addition to Pippa, there is Wilder, Aanae, and Evan, ages 8 to 11. Kelly and Tommy would like to extend their appreciation for the friends, family, and strangers who have poured out their prayers, love, and support for little Pippa. Thank you for any measure of support for this little one and her family.
