Caleb Champagne's Journey

The long road home for Caleb Sweet little Caleb was born by c section on October 27, 2016. He was immediately airlifted to Children's Hospital in Vancouver with his father, Mark by his side. His Mother, Jasmine, was ambulanced over that evening. His heart stopped the next night and in the process of getting it going again his kidneys were compromised. From there, the only chance he had was on the ECMO machine ( heart and lung machine) A week on that machine gave his heart a rest, but it also became detrimental to his health. The decision was made to take him off knowing it could be the end. But our little Rockstar, as nicknamed by the hospital staff, defied the odds and started to get better.
Now this strong, loving family has another cross to bear. Little Caleb has Barth Syndrome. A very, very, rare genetic disorder that will involve long term visits to Children's Hospital. Parents, Jasmine and Mark have shown incredible strength and unity in this ordeal. Two year old Jordan, has been very confused with all of this, and Jasmine and Mark, with the support of family and friends are succeeding in making an extremely painful situation workable.
Everyone's hope is that Caleb gets to go home without a heart transplant, but it is a long, rocky road ahead. His parents are both required at the hospital with big brother Jordan for the unforeseeable future, which means no meaningful income to support them.

Mark and Jasmine would never ask for help, however; with such an uncertain future, friends and family are trying to get them the help they need to take some pressure off financially, so they can focus on their beautiful boys.
