Baby Miller NICU

Donation protected
I am raising money for my daughter and son-in-law, for medical bills and expenses incurred from hospital stays and NICU bills during and following a high-risk pregnancy.  They had to resort to in vitro fertilization to get pregnant with both of their boys, which is a very expensive  procedure, in itself.   This became a high-risk pregnancy early on,  when her water broke around the 21-week mark.  After meeting with a maternal-fetal specialist and a couple of visits to the ER, she was finally admitted to the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy.  At nearly 28 weeks, our sweet boy, Owen,  was born on July 4th.  
The very next day, they both began to fight an infection that was very serious.  This extended our daughter's hospital stay and her recovery by quite a bit. Owen suffered a partially collapsed lung and was very sick.  By the grace of God, they have both recovered from the infection.  However, he is still in the NICU, needing assistance for his lungs.  The parents are now juggling taking care of their family in two states, driving over an hour to Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC to be with their baby boy and taking care of big brother at home.  
They have hospital/medical bills that are starting to pile up, not to mention the gas money needed to go back and forth to the hospital.  I know that medical insurance will only go so far.  There is also the possibility that they will need special care for him when he goes home and for the first two years of his life.  
We cannot even begin to guess how much money will be needed for all of this.  Your donations will help with the medical expenses, the gas to drive to the hospital, and home care. 
For those who are local, and know the D.C. area, gift cards to restaurants, gas stations near the hospital would also be appreciated, as well. 
Kind words of love and encouragement go a long way, as well as a listening ear.  Just knowing that they are in your prayers and that they are not alone in this means everything!
For those who wish to donate, there are no words to thank you enough for helping this young family in their struggle.  We are so thankful for your kindness!
