HELP FOR ALEX
Alex is my nephew and he is ten years old. He was born with a tumor on his brain stem.
In the past six weeks he has been through two surgeries and is currently back at Primary Children’s Hospital for treatment and monitoring.
The Doctors are trying different kinds of medicine to help reduce the pain he is experiencing as well as the nauseau and constant ringing he is hearing. From what I can tell its going to take time for his body to adjust to the shunt while it calibrates. The most difficult thing to watch is his inability to eat. Like I said he is ten years old, but only weighs about 50 pounds.
In the mean time, his mother (Jennifer, my sister) has been faithfully by his side tending to his every need and tenderly watching over him with very little rest.
I am starting this GoFundMe campaign to help her out with the inevetable medical bills and to help with the basic needs of her family while they face this difficult time together.
