Help with Autumn's unexpected hospital stay
On August 12th Autumn had her open heart surgery. Everything went really well but not long after it became clear that something was wrong. Unfortunately Autumn has caught a staff infection and her surgical site needed to be reopened, cleaned out and new wires put in to hold her sternum shut again. She is recovering nicely but we will need to be on intravenous antibiotics every six hours for a month. We were hoping we could go home but that won't be happening. She will need to stay at children's hospital until the beginning of October. Financially we were completely unprepared for an extended stay in the hospital. I am asking for your help to get us through this difficult time. Anything helps, even the smallest amount will make a difference to us right now and would be really appreciated.
