Dalton had 2 life saving surgeries. Please help.

Hi this is Kelly-ann and Preston the parents to our precious baby boy Dalton. Dalton was diagnosed with malrotation of the intestines with midgut volvulus. He had to undergo life saving surgery at five days old. Then at about two and a half months old he had to undergo another life saving surgery. He had numerous blockages from scar tissue from the previous surgery.

The hospital bills have finally hit the account. If you have an extra few dollars to spare anything helps to pay off the hospital debt and help alleviate the financial stress. This little guy has been through a lot but by the grace of God Dalton is still here with us. He’s about to turn seven months! He’s growing big and strong and hitting all of his milestones despite the rough start to life. It means more than anything to have our baby boy still in our arms.

What is midgut volvulus?

-Midgut volvulus happens when the intestines malrotate and the intestines become come twisted/blocked from them not rotating correctly. Food can not be digested properly and dehydration occurs. It’s a surgical emergency.

If you type it in on google you can get more info this is just a short to the point explanation.

The doctor also informed us that there is no known cause as to why this happens therefore it could not be prevented sadly. We pray for any other little ones had to go through this. As a parent it is the hardest thing in the world to see your child declining and in pain and not knowing if you’ll ever hold them again.

We are very grateful for the doctors, nurses, support, all of the prayers, and God. Dalton is the strongest most happy little baby. Thank you for taking the time to read this. And if you choose to donate towards his medical bills to help us alleviate some financial stress we thank you and greatly appreciate you.

Sincerely,

Kelly-ann, Preston, and Dalton❤️
