Let me introduce our little warrior Skylar Harrison. On my 20 week anatomy scan it revealed that he had an encephelocel on his head. It's a bulge/opening in the skull in which brain matter can seep into. Thankfully his has remained fairly small and so far based on scans shows that not much important brain matter made it in there.
However shortly after finding out this news we also found out he has a heart defect and only one kidney. That was tough news to take since this is our only boy. My fiance and I together between the two of us have 7 wonderful girls but this is our boy.
After this news we had to shut down our business to the covid-19. Now that things are opening back up it's time for our son to come into this world.
I will be having a c-section to lesson the pressure on his head. He will be taken quickly to NICU and surgery will be done that day or the following day depending on his condition. The hospital is over an hour and a half away. At home will be our youngest daughter only 20 months old. She will be in the greatest of care by her other older sisters however before this she has never left mom or dads side. So dividing time and resources between both of our children is going to be so hard. Only Mom and Dad are allowed in NICU at this time. Also the Ronald mcdonald house is not open also due to covid. So we will have to pay for lodging as well. Another financial hit we cant really afford.
So I'm making this asking for help just enough so we can be with and take proper care of both of children during this hard time. It's going to take time to get back on our feet from all this but I believe in God. He is guiding me this whole time giving me faith that our little man is truly a fighter. If you didnt know it, the sky is the limit. Never stop believing. Thank you so much for all your kindness.
