Baby Elissa needs heart & Liver Transplant
Donation protected
Hi sweet Friends,
Our sweet baby girl officially needs several open heart surgery, and an eventually heart and liver transplant. She is now at Childrens Mercy Hospital.
Without getting technical with a bunch of medical terms, Elissa can't get enough oxygen to breathe on her own now. All of the valves in her heart are on one side instead of the right and left. This means blood flow to the lungs is impossible.
She needs surgery to move the valves to their correct side, and widen valves to get the blood flow to the lungs. She will ultimately need one of these surgeries now, or asap, as she may not be old or strong enough yet to make it through the initial surgery.
She will need another surgery between 2 and 4 years old depending on her growth and development.
And then more than likely a full heart and liver transplant in her early teens.
My husband and I are self-employed, and unfortunately uninsured. We have always been fortunate enough to self-pay, but the medical and personal bills now stacking up are simply far more than we can possibly bear. We know that things are stressful, and that everyone has there own things in life to deal with. We are hoping that by reaching out to friends and close ones, that we can get some help shouldering these crazy costs that are stacking up. No one likes to admit defeat, but we are sinking fast.
Please take some time to consider if there's anything you can contribute to help. Even a dollar here and there helps.
And more than anything PLEASE PRAY. we still believe in the miracle healing power of prayer.
Thank you so much everyone for all your prayers, love, and support.
