This fundraiser is to help Deborah, DJ, and Baby Rutherford.

 

On Sunday night, June 19, Deborah had slight cramping and fluid but nothing super painful. They decided to go to Maine Gen in Augusta to get checked. Within a half hour they determined she was in preterm labor, already 3 cm dilated, at only 22 weeks and 5 days, and was immediately transferred to Maine Medical in Portland.

 

On Tuesday, Deborah was put on full bed rest in hopes to alleviate pressure on her cervix and keep baby inside for as long as possible.

 

On Thursday, June 23, Deborah's water broke sometime overnight and was slowly leaking.

 

Baby Rutherford was born at 23 weeks and 2 days on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 11:19 a.m. He is 1lb 4oz. 

 

Please consider donating to help ease the financial burden. No parent should have to worry about the cost of their child's care and Baby Rutherford deserves the best!
