2/27/2021 UPDATE***
USA Children and women’s hospital in mobile, AL and UAB in Birmingham have done all they can for Josie the last option is to get her to the children’s hospital in Cincinnati Ohio, please help us raise enough money to get her there!!! They specialize in children with rare motility disorders, she needs this opportunity!
Josie was born on June 18, 2020. Since then she has been unable to gain weight. She has been on an NG tube, which did not work, and now a G tube. She is only 7lbs 6oz as of 12/4/2020. She has had 2 surgeries so far and has 3 more scheduled. 2 in December alone. She has many anatomical issues with her organs. Her stomach is attached to her liver and about 1/3 the size it should be, she has 2 kidneys, but her right one will not drain, and we found out she also was born with no spleen. She is undergoing genetic testing because she is so unique. But the main concern right now is her failure to thrive and malnutrition!! Because of this, her dad is only able to work part time, and since coding multiple times after her most recent surgery I have been trying to be there as well. We are STRUGGLING to provide Josie with the care she needs and maintain our household with 2 older children. We do have insurance, but the 20% we are responsible for is still outrageous! Plus the medical equipment we have to lease just to have her home. PLEASE ANY AND ALL HELP IS A GIFT FROM GOD!!! Every $1 counts!!!
