Our 2 1/2 year old grandson JaxonCempa has been in ICU in Portland Oregon since 2-17-20.  His ordeal began with a fever. His mother took him to the doctor who at that time thought it was just a cold. Four days later went to the hospital and they took a blood test sent him home.  The next day the hospital called to have him come back in they found a bacteria in his blood. His heart rate was so high and his blood pressure plummeted to a dangerous low all of this equaled to what is called SEPSIS.   So by the end of the day on 2-17-20 he had to be Air transported to Portland Oregon pediatrics hospital.  His parents were told he has RSV and bacteria is in his heart with a mass in his aorta releasing the bacteria into his bloodstream.   The mass has not grown or gotten smaller but it is still releasing the bacteria.  Today his parents were told he may need open heart surgery on Monday 2-24-20.   His father Arlan Cempa who is a Firefighter has not been able to go to work and his mother Kelly who just started a new job as a realtor has not either.  The financial  hardship they will have to endure as well as the unimaginable fear for Jaxon’s well being is very overwhelming.  They would never ask for help but I will please please help me in my desire to help.  Thank you!
