Alaina Jean and her fight to recovery❤️
Donation protected
Our princess Alaina is very sick right now. She was diagnosed with Rhinovirus and Bronchitis and was sent home by the ER at Albany Med instead of being admitted for critical care that night. She is now back at Albany Med receiving treatment right for her original diagnosis. The doctors have been amazing and helpful during this difficult time. Things have been getting worse for our 5 month old bundle of joy. Her airway was inflamed and she was not getting enough oxygen so she was in the PICU receiving treatment trying to open her airway so she could breathe.She was moved to general pediatrics and showed signs of getting better but quickly declined. They had to move her back to the PICU because general pediatrics reached the maximum amount of oxygen they could give her and needed more respiratory support. After arriving they place her on BIPAP which is unimaginable for someone who is so small. This didn’t help and she was still working so hard to breath. Alaina was born with a right aortic arch and a possible vascular ring around her food and wind pipe which could be the reason for the obstruction of her airway and why there have been no signs of her getting better. Her parents, Skylur and Mallory have been big advocates for this and their suspicions were confirmed with a CT scan. Turns out she has a double aortic arch, right and left with a vascular ring. Her young body is too small to be able to recover properly with having this heart condition so she was placed in a ventilator to assist her so she can heal. She is so comfortable and is resting peacefully.When she recovers from this illness, and they are ready to take the tube out, she will be having surgery to snip the vascular ring. If they go to take the tube out and they can't becasue of the ring, they will need to do surgery then wait for her to recover and take her off the vent. There is no knowing how long this young happy family is going to be in the hospital with their baby girl. Medical bills and life expenses are so expensive and her mommy and daddy haven’t left her side . Anything will help during this difficult time. Even sharing this means so much to our family. Thank you for your support! We just miss our bright, funny, and amazing beautiful girl!!❤️❤️
