Hi my name is Stephen Ricardo blair & I’m writing this story for my baby brother kj, 4 months ago On Father's Day 2021 my 7 year old baby brother got into a bad bike accident where he fell off and hit his chest to the point where he hasn't been the same since. Everyone who knows my little brother knows he's one of the greatest kids alive. He's courageous, he's brave, he's independent, he's outspoken , he's confident, he's strong, he's a good role model & a great friend. My little brother wants to go to school to fix cars and bikes or make them on his own when he gets older, ever since kj was 4 years old he's been riding bikes with no training wheels. He's never had a bike with training wheels EVERhe's hopped on a bike one day and just bloomed into the perfect bike rider. He's taught all his friends in the neighborhood how to ride and do tricks and how to be them selfs and never fear for it. One day someone from the neighborhood let my baby brother ride his really big bike and he took it around for a spin and fell face first and kj says he hadn't felt the same since. After the accident my mom brought my brother to Various different hospitals with them all saying the same thing that he was okay and that he was going to be fine. Each day kj was getting skinner and skinner he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to go out side.. he couldn't use the bathroom and he would throw up every two seconds. My mom continued to bring my brother to the hospitals and all they told her was that he was constipated. They were not doing their job or looking deep enough to notice the fact that my baby brother was dying. I came all the way from another state where I live once my family sent the pics to me of my little brother. I broke down in tears because the boy in the photos was not my baby brother at all. I caught the next flight to Boston and seen with my own eyes my little brother laying in bed in so much pain to the point where he couldn't eat move or let alone walk. My mom told me that all my baby brothers friends try to come over to see him or want him to come out side but my brother kj is so scared because he doesn't want anyone to talk about him or make fun of him because he knows he looks different & on top of that he doesn't feel good enough to go out. I haven't seen my brother in about a year so he was super happy to see me to the point where he gained the strength and wanted me to walk him to the beach, this is the first time in months my little brother wanted to go outside. So of course I took him , while walking down the street so many people where staring at him and saying mean things and that we should bring him to the hospital not knowing that we have been doing that for months and all the doctors do is send us back home. My little brother wanted to go get slushes and sit in the shed in the shade by the beach I held him under my arm and silent tears started to fall because my brother was not him. He was so fragile and weak and one wrong move I know it would be fatal for him. I cried cause my brother was dying in my arms and there was nothing I could do about it. We were walking home in the sun and my brother almost fainted I had to stop and Dan him off under a tree and make him drink the rest of his slushy and carry him on my back cause he was so weak he could not walk anymore. I told my mom that there's something so wrong with him and that she needs to do something, anything. before it's too late it was only a matter of days now.. we kept all of this private and all to our selves to the point where not even people in the family knew about this situation. But finally we are deciding to go public about it. Because now dcyf is trying to get involved in my siblings life due to the fact of how he looks someone in the Neighborhood called them on my mom and made lies saying she doesn't feed him when all she does is cook and feed her kids, my mom sells food from her apartment to pay rent how does it look for her not to feed her own children? My moms kids are all she has, she loves her children more than her self and this is true. My moms has yet to contact dcyf back because she is not problem this had nothing to do with her she's fighting for my little brother to get better, she takes him to every appointment and brings him to every emergency room around just to get sent home. My mom is doing everything she needs to do the hospitals are not!! There is something clearly wrong with my little brother he's lost so much weight from his first few hospital visits this can not be just constipation. But anyhow, so a few days ago we were all in my moms room and my little brother started throwing up and crying saying he couldn't take it anymore and I picked up the phone and called 911. 911 arrived and my mother told them to not take her to any of these hospitals near by because they keep sending her home she asked if they can bring her to children's hospital and they did. And upon arrival of children's hospital as soon as they seen my little brother they said they HAD to operate on him immediately or he would not make it. He is in critical condition. And there were chances he would not make it out of the surgery alive. My mom broke down In complete sadness and Great Depression had clouded us all. But with the great news moving forward my baby brother got through his first surgery but they're were still more he would have to go through that he also might not make it from. My mom signed the papers and told them to save her baby life. As much as she didn't want to hear the things the doctors had to say it was better then nothing. My mom was pregnant at the time of all of this and due to all the stress she has lost her other baby. So please try to understand all the pain my family is going through right now. My little brother is still in the hospital being feed from feeding tubes and breathing from breathing tubes & sleeping all the time. He cannot speak or walk and he will have to learn to walk again. and doctors do not know when he will be able to come home.. it can be a while but he is better then he was before thanks to the help of children's hospital for actually doing there job and digging deeper then the surface. Yesterday Friday , September 10th 2021 my brother had is 5th surgery on his heart & neck. Doctors may have to do more surgeries but we hope that this will be the last. My brother is going through so much and he’s so tired himself. This has been going on since June & he’s still fighting a fight many would have not made it from. We are grateful for the grace of god for standing by him and giving him a opportunity to survive. My little brothers life was saved because of children’s hospital. And me and my family would like to thank them. Kj still has more surgery's to go through. But from what we have been told is that he broke his pinkruis ( I know I didn't spell it right i apologize) and broke few other extremely important things internally. But the (pinkruis, so sorry for spelling it wrong) is something that helps your immune system and helps you use the bathroom. And flushed out all fluids. When they cut my brother open he had a gallon of yellow liquid in his stomach that was starting to Ruin his other intestines and almost started to reach his lungs but we caught it just in time. The doctors drained it and got it all out, so my brothers stomach can go down and he can eventually start using the bathroom on his own in the future again, currently he is not. He has a pooping bag and a pee tube. We hate to see my 7 year old brother going through all this and suffering like this. it feels like he's all on his own in this painful process and it makes us hurt even more because we wish we could do more.. but he reminds us Everyday that we're all in this together and we're all here for him and we are going to continue to be strong for him. I'm doing this fund me page for my little brothers hospital payments, for my mom to possibly get out of the projects from subsidized housing and get her own home because my little brothers, I've had a talk with them at the beach and they said that they are not happy here. And they wish they lived somewhere else in a house. My mom lives in a two bedroom apartment and has 3 kids in 1 room. Of all different ages it's not cool. & It's not a safe neighborhood at all. There are needles in front of my moms home where kids play, there are shootings literally every single night. People shooting through peoples windows, people getting killed. it's not safe , and especially not for children. It would be good to get my brothers out of here now while they are young before they get older and get exposed to any of this negative stuff this community has to offer. While my brothers still dream of having a successful bright life, and not thinking like a statistic or a bad way of living would be a great time to get them out of here. Getting out of this neighborhood would be a great start and something amazing for my little brother to come home too when ever he is let go from the hospital. This fund me is also for my little brother future college tuition we plan on putting $250,000 for his college tuition so he can learn how to build sports cars and repair bikes and cars. or $150,000 for each of my little brothers because they both wish to go to college but for different things. And also for the wants and needs for kj , he told my mom he wants a play station 5 so she wants to also surprise him with somethings he wishes for that she can not afford on her own. She is a single mother and raised all of us on her own and has always made a way. my mom is the strongest woman I know and it's time she deserves better. We all do. Especially my baby brother. We just hope this will be the end to all suffering and hoping all this grief will end. But in this matter the funds you guys are willing to donate will be for greater purposes for my little brothers life. Kj was giving a second chance by the grace of god and we want it to be so much better this time. I'm not asking for you guys to fill the complete goal but it would be a blessing if you guys did. but anything will help honestly. This would be a blessing for my family and I thank anyone in the meantime for reading our story and anyone willing to help. Thank you so much, & may god bless us all. Thank you.
