Danyell & Robby's Baby Kannon Fund

Danyell's pregnancy with baby Kannon was complicated from early on, when her doctors put her on bedrest and she was prevented from working. At just 24 weeks, doctors delivered Kannon by emergency c-section and placed him in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Strong Hospital. He was just under 2 pounds. Kannon's doctors say that he will be in the NICU until at least his original due date, December 11th. They gave him a 50-80% chance of survival at birth, and so far he is doing well. His risks are with lung development and bleeding in the brain. In the meanwhile, Robby is working long shifts to try to pay for their mounting expenses and Danyell is spending every minute she can in the NICU with Kannon. Danyell and Robby both spend as much time as possible with Kannon at the hospital, where they pay for their own food and expenses. They didn't get to have a shower for Kannon, so they haven't yet acquired all of his baby things. (Danyell is registed at Buy Buy Baby & Babies R Us, underDanyell Voss.)  They are missing the months of employment that Danyell intended to have before giving birth, and other expenses connected with needing to be in the hospital as much as possible with Kannon. This campaign is intended to help them with any medical, baby care, and everyday life expenses that we can. 

I am the parent of a child who was Danyell's student at Margaret's House. She is a beloved, household name for us. Danyell has cared for so many children, so devotedly and expertly. I hope that we can give her, Robby, and little Kannon back a bit of the love and care she has always shown us.  

Danyell and Robby would also appreciate your thoughts and prayers. They haven't opened up visiting hours at the hospital, but she is trying to post updates on Kannon to her facebook wall when she can, and she's reading and appreciating all of your messages.
