Help Jaxton’s Family With Travel Expenses During His Stay

This is Jaxton, he was born premature at 33 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and HELLPS syndrome and had a 33 day nicu stay. He came home at the end of February and just recently caught a cold from his siblings. What we know as of now is that he has Rhinovirus and Metapneumovirus. Yesterday we took him to urgent care for his cough and becuae he was so groggy he wouldn’t stay awake long enough to drink even half of an ounce of milk and didn’t even want his binky. His temp there was 88 degrees and they sent us to the hospital. When we got into the hospital waiting room his lips and eyelids were turning blue and he was pale. They got him into triage and his oxygen was at 44% and it had just been 100% at the urgent care. The nurses took him and ran into a room and started hooking him up to everything and getting oxygen in him. They tried a cpap but he was still having many episodes of bradycardia. (Forgetting to take breaths) the longest one we heard them count was 8 seconds of not breathing. The Chambersburg hospital said he needs a much higher level of care and needed to be life flighted to Hershey children’s hospital. Once they landed at Hershey the doctors called and said he's still not breathing enough and they needed to intubate. Our little guy has been through the wringer since the womb. The reason we are creating a go fund me is because I still haven’t been able to get back to work since having him and my husband has an interview for a new job that isn’t for another week or so. We have bills coming up on top of the travel expenses going back and forth from Hershey as we have three other children and only two of them are able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house with us. So we have to get them to and from sitters and switch the kids that way one of them aren’t away from us longer than the others. We also have animals at our house that we have to go home and feed/take out to the bathroom while he’s up here. His doctors have no clue how long they want him to be in there but told us to plan for a little while at least. The goal is only 1500 bc I was just putting a random number. We are not expecting anyone to donate that much money to us by any means. We appreciate anything anyone can help with. Thank you in advance!

UPDATE!

As of this past Tuesday Jaxton was discharged from Hershey and has been doing great. He still will have many follow up appointments due to his weight. His next one is in Hershey on may 6th. We appreciate everyone so much for all the help you’ve given us to get back and forth while he was admitted. We are still currently looking for an owlet or oxygen sock monitor for him to keep an eye on him when he’s asleep if anyone may have one or know someone that does!
