C.J.’s Amazing Recovery

Donation protected
On December 17, 2018 little C.J felt under the weather like any school aged child would. He began to decline causing concern so his parents (Mary and Chris) took him to the hospital thinking he would need help getting through what they thought was a cold (maybe the flu). As the doctors started looking over C.J. They realized it was much more than a cold they were dealing with. C.J. Was then taken by ambulance to what they thought would be more equipped hospital. Once he arrived to the second hospital they found they too would not be well equipped enough to care for him. At that point C.J. Was life flighted from a hospital in the city which he lives Tampa, Florida to Shands hospital in Gainesville, Florida. Once he arrived in Gainesville the doctors diagnosed C.J. With Myocarditis the common cold virus that CJ had essentially effected the function of the left side of his heart. CJ was then placed on a bypass machine and in an induced coma to allow his body time to heal. This situation has been very stressful for his family and friends especially his parents. What we need from you!??? With CJ Being hospitalized about 2 hrs from home there has been an extreme hardship financially his parents have to stay in a hotel, pay for travel to and from the hospital, and miss a crazy amount of work. Parents out there I know you can relate that it takes a village. This could be anyone’s child! Mary and Chris do not ask anything from anyone but at this time they need the help more than anyone else. Thank you to everyone that is able to help! Even the smallest donations will make a world of difference for this family! Moms and Dads Hug your babies a little longer and kiss them everyday!
