Joseph A. Smith and JoAnna Longa

Joseph was born on March 20th and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz, JoAnna and Sam were excited to take home their baby boy. Unfortunately, things quickly took a turn, he started throwing up after every feeding and he dropped to just over 6 lb. After many visits to the pediatrician with no answers, they went to the hospital on March 31st. After many tests, doctors determined he had pyloric stenosis and needed surgery. He had the procedure on April 2nd to correct it and has had a slow recovery. He has continued to vomit, which has led to more painful testing and a longer stay at the hospital.

Teachers health insurance is not what it used to be and we know that the bills for all of Joseph's procedures will be significant. Anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated!
