Donate to Leia's Recovery and Specialized Care

Hello Everyone. My name is Devin and I'm the father of this beautiful little girl named Leia. Poor Leia has had quite the first two weeks of life. It all started when my wife woke me up 9 months pregnant and covered in blood. You see, he placenta detached and we now had to rush to Children's hospital ER.

Luckily we got there in time that everyone was safe. A bit worse for ware but we pulled through. Upon taking Leia home and introducing our new 5 lb 11oz baby to her older sister, we began noticing some issues.

Leia wasn't hungry as often as she should be and when we fed her, it was a struggle. She also was throwing up yellow and green stomach bile. Not to mention the endless liquid diarrhea.

We took her to her primary to discover she lost weight and were advised to take her to the ER. Weighing her at the ER, she had dropped all the way to 5 lbs and 5 oz!!!

They had to buy an IV in her and with her being so dehydrated it took 4 staff members almost 2 hours to run an IV. They stabbed her more than 20 times, leaving bruises all over her body.

We've been in the hospital for over a week now and I'll spare you a lot of the scary and gruesome details, like needing to put multiple IVs in her skull or the catheters and feeding tubes, but we are finally getting discharged. They believe they found the issues in our little girl and we have an attack plan.

Part of that plan involves an extremely specialized formula that will run us over 1,000 a month to supply and that's at her current feed amount of 3oz. When she eats more in the near future that number will go up.

We seeking a little help not only to pay for part of the very large medical bill were receiving for her life saving treatments but also some assistance in paying for her formula while we get back on our feet and recover from this financial, emotionally and physically.

Thank you to all who support and my family blesses you.

What a rough first two weeks of life.
