Lifting up Layton

Layton was born on 7/1/2014 with type III osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease). He was born with multiple fractures and has suffered more since then. He will always have this disease since there is no cure for OI.  We recently traveled to Omaha Children's hospital to the specialty OI clinic where Layton received his first pamidronate IV therapy. This therapy should strengthen his bones and decrease his fractures which will improve his quality of life. Omaha will coordinate with a local hospital and he will continue to get this therapy every 8 weeks. He will continue traveling to Omaha for care at this specialty clinic throughout his life which will include the IV therapy, rodding surgeries for his legs, xrays, and dexa scans. We will travel back in 6 months to see his progress so far. Medical expenses add up very quickly and over his lifetime Layton is going to require equipment such as a wheelchairs as well as therapy such as aquatic therapy.  Even with insurance these types of expenses are not always covered. All donations will be put into his medical trust and used for his medical needs.
