Sweet Kayden's Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
Before Kayden Marie-Lee Grant made her grand entrance into this world on December 26, 2014, her beautiful mommy, Deja, found out through routine ultrasounds that Kayden had an extremely rare heart defect.  Her heart and other organs seemed to be flipped. Double right left inferior superior ventricle stenosis. They were told that she would need to have open heart surgery within months of her birth. Those months seemed to fly by, with Kayden becoming the absolute joy of everyone she meets!  On Tuesday, May 26, 2015, Kayden had her surgery. During the operation they found that things were a little worse than expected, but the surgery was a success. Doctors told Deja, Angie, and Liza that the next 24 hours were critical.  Everything seemed to be going well, and then Kayden’s heart stopped.  Doctors and nurses rushed everyone out of the room and began CPR immediately on this tiny baby. This was heart wrenching for them to watch, not knowing what the outcome would be. With the help of CPR they were able to get her heart going well enough to get her on a bypass machine.  Doctors have now discovered infections in her lungs and bloodstream and her lactic acid levels are through the roof, causing horrible swelling all over her body (Pseudomonas). She is currently unable to breathe on her own and remains on the bypass machine. Everyone is praying so hard for her!  However, the expenses for Kayden's family are adding up.  Her Mother and Grandmothers are trying to continue to work because, as we all know, the bills don't stop coming.  Parking alone at the hospital is 10 dollars a day, then eating out or in the hospital cafeteria every night (when they can find their appetite); gas to and from the hospital and taking unpaid leave from work.  They need any help you can offer. As much as any of would like we can’t fix this, but we can help ease the financial stress of this family, so that their focus can be only on the health and recovery of their sweet baby Kayden.  Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated.  I am doing this before I let Angie, Liza, and Deja know, because I know they would never ask for help.  They need all of #Kaydenskrusaders coming together for this family in their time of need!  Thank you so much!
