Jaidyn Foley & Family Support Funds
Donation protected
Thank you for stopping by this gofundme page. Madison and Jerrod are friends of ours who have a precious baby girl named Jaidyn. We are wanting to help out as much as possible and would greatly appreciate any donation. This family has a long road ahead of them. We would like to help out by providing funds for gas, food, medical bills, etc. if you cannot make a donation it is completely understandable. Just keep this sweet family and baby in your thoughts and prayers.
Recently at Jaidyn’s 2 month old check up doctors, had found what to believe was a heart murmur. After immediately following up with a cardiologist the news became much worse and very unexpected.
Madison had posted the following:
We’ve been bad about responding to and updating everyone concerning Jaidyn’s current health issues since this week has been such a whirlwind of bad news followed by more bad news, so I figured it would be necessary to make a post to inform everyone. We visited a cardiologist after a heart murmur was detected at Jaidyn’s 2 month checkup. We expected to get the news that it’s a common heart defect that a lot of children are born with and will simply grow out of it. Instead, we were hit the the news that our baby’s heart is very very sick in more ways than we can even wrap our head around. She has congenital heart disease consisting of SIX separate heart defects. The right side of her heart is incredibly too large undergoing severe pressure, while the left side is much too small and hardly functioning. She has a hole in the top chamber of her heart and a hole in the bottom chamber of her heart. All of the vessels and valves within her heart are too small for blood to flow through easily, causing blood to escape into her lungs. Her aortic arch is also extremely narrow in certain spots which is causing the right side of her heart to work even harder and literally putting her at the brink of heart failure at any given moment. There are several other abnormalities within her heart aside from these as well, which makes treating her condition very risky. Her chances of developing a heart condition as such were literally one in a million. We were admitted immediately to the UK PICU to stabilize her and we have been here ever since. Cincinnati children’s hospital and UK have been working together to determine the right game plan to tackle her condition, but it has been difficult since she is so young, tiny, and in such critical condition. Our doctors decided on a step by step process rather than trying to solve all problems at once, so she is going to have her first heart surgery tomorrow afternoon. This past week has been a complete nightmare for Jerrod and I. To say I feel like I’m drowning is an understatement because all I want is for my baby to be healthy and seeing her like this rips us to shreds. But Jaidyn is the toughest little babe I’ve ever known so her daddy and I are confident that she is going to get through it! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she begins this journey and thank you to everyone for all the love and support we have received this week
