JAXON GIVES BACK TO KIDS AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Donation protected
Please join us again this year for our 4th Annual “Jaxon Gives Back” to children that are patients in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at Phoenix Children's Hospital. In past years, with your help, we've been able to touch the lives of so many families who are currently spending their Christmas in the hospital – and we want to do that again this year!
Our Story:
In July of 2016, at our 20-week ultrasound, we learned that our baby had a heart condition called transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and a large hole (VSD) between his left and right ventricle. In other words, our baby's pulmonary valve and aorta were switched. Jaxon was born on December 4, 2016. He underwent a complicated yet successful open-heart surgery on December 14, 2016 and was discharged from the hospital on December 23, 2016.
December 14, 2018 will mark three years since our 10-day-old newborn son had open-heart surgery. As we reflect, the impact this event had on our lives is no less breathtaking today, as it was then. Every day, we thank God for our beautiful and spirited son, Jaxon. We are thankful to our surgeon and fetal cardiologist that guided us during a very difficult time. We are thankful to all of the nurses that held our hands through our journey of adversity. We are still overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support received from our families and the community. Our experience has changed what this time of year means to our family. We are overwhelmed with a sense of "paying it forward" to the families stuck in hospitals during Christmas with children that suffer from congenital heart conditions. Please join us in trying to bring a little Christmas Spirit to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at Phoenix Children's Hospital again this year.
