Donation protected
Hello, My name is Austin Dunn, I have 2 kids as of now about a week ago, My Fiancé Ashley Marie and I are parents to a 1year 7month old named Brayden! Aswell as of now our one week old little one, Welcome Brantley Dwayne Dunn into this world. First & For most , We’d like you to know all help and money will be going towards Brantley’s Surgery Bills / Hospital Bills & Ashley’s Emergency Surgery Bills / Hospital bills & medical bills. Second off Ashley and I literally hate having to do this and ask anyone for money or anything period so please no bad response or disrespect. If you can help that’s fantastic you don’t know how much you are helping us, if not please no negative comments! Share for us please if you can’t Donate & wouldn’t mind helping or even if you can Donate Share! Please! Either way we’re greatly thankful for either you can do. A lot of you know & a lot of you don’t, They discovered some type of complication with Brantley during ultrasound they call it Gastroschisis, it’s where a hole developed In the abdominal wall cause some body parts & such expose outside the body. Luckily with our miracle baby we only had his intestines out meaning just his “bowel”. Ashley & I Went to Duke women’s prenatal clinic where they seen something abnormal during her 2nd trimester it was our 4th appointment if Not mistaking at the Duke Women’s Clinic that’s when they sent us to Duke Prenatal Consultation for more observation on the baby, they had us come to Durham NC twice a week for something called a “NST” Non-Stress Test I think’s the meaning. Our appointments there the nurses agreed with them about the Gastroschisis, so they diagnosed him with that. Baby Brantley was in stomach doing good moving great kicking away , we went to bed one night woke up next day, Ashley works on a LLama farm only from 3:30 to 4:30. She told her boss she hadn’t felt Brantley kick since last night she made her call the hospital they told us to go straight to Duke University Hospital where they checked with some type of test on a point scale of (0-10), based on fluid around baby, big movement, small movement ,etc.. After the test our son Brantley got 2points out of 10, & them 2 points was only for the fluids around him was still good. Ashley is 36weeks at the time we are in hospital room, after that 2/10 emergency c-section the same night, had to have him 4 weeks early, Ashley had to have the c-section, our son was taken straight from us to nicu couldn’t even see him at first, they saying they going to have to do definite surgery on him to get the intestines & bowel back in costing around $12,870.  I know it’s a lot that’s the only reason I’m having to ask , it’s no way we can come up with that so any help is greatly appreciated please share share share if anyone could help & share and get people to help, you all would really save us from family debt, stressed, these expensive medical bills. Please everyone anything helps! Please help us reach or get close to goal. I have no other hope we know we can’t come up with that kind of money. We would be glad to try to get people their money back slowly over time when work starts back up for me. Thanks to everyone took time out to read and for all the support.
