On August 19th, we were surprised and blessed when Raven Noelle came into our lives. Although expected to make her debut on November 19th, Raven was born at 26 weeks weighing 1lb 09oz. As a “micro preemie” she has been faced with many obstacles. There have been many milestones, but unfortunately, many set backs. While Raven is now almost 4 months old and weighing 6lbs 14oz, she is still having trouble with her breathing. Due to her severe Bronchial Pulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), Raven must undergo tracheostomy and g-tube surgery in the coming week. Recovery will be difficult. Post-surgery, Raven will need a special medical crib, stroller, and most importantly a van for transportation to and from doctor appointments in addition, her medical bills continue to pile up. This monetary responsibility has proved too great for our family. It is with heavy hearts that we ask for your donations. No amount is too small, and we appreciate any help that you can give.We will keep you posted on baby Rae’s progress. Again,thank you.
