Kae's Medical Fund
Donation protected
Kasey is the most incredible young lady I have ever met. I do not say this because I am her mother. She truly blesses everyone she meets. She is a miracle.
Kae was born with a genetic defect called Noonans Syndrome. This syndrome affects multiple organs and systems in the body, even stature. Kae has overcome such things as organ omegally, failure to thrive, respiratory & gastrointestinal issues, a compromised immune system and other issues that have required several hospitalizations and procedures over the 16 years of her life.
Recently, Kae had a specialized CAT scan, with dye, of her heart. When we spoke to her Cardiologist, he stated that Kae must have open heart surgery. The findings show that Kae has a partial anomalous pulmonary venous return & left inferior pulmonary vein stenosis. It means that Kae must undergo open heart surgery with a cardio pulmonary bypass.
So, what does all this mean? It means that Kae's veins that come from her left lung into her heart are not functioning correctly & are located on the wrong side of her heart. The surgeon will have to go in and detach the veins and put them where they belong while she is on bypass equipment. Kae also has a stenosis(a narrowing) in one of the veins that allows blood to pump from her lung into her heart.
At this point, Kae's lungs & heart are in perfect shape. So the next question is, Why do this surgery now? If Kae doesn't have this procedure now, she will have irreversible damage to her left lung & heart. If this happens, she will die.
We are asking for everyone to pray for our precious child. We are setting up this gofundme account to ask for financial support for Kae's medical & living expenses. The recovery time is 3-6 months. Due to Kae's needs, one or both of us are going to be out of work while she recovers.
Please join our family in celebrating Kasey & her life. Kae has asked that everyone share a "GO GET IT!" attitude with her. #gogetitkasey
Thank you everyone! God is in control!
