JoJo's Journey

Donation protected
Hello!

My name is Heather I am JoJo's aunt and I have received permission from his mom Heather to make a go fund me account to update everybody on his health and this journey they are going through now with all the ups and downs they face not only in the medical side but the financial side as well.

A little back story JoJo was born at 24 weeks and spent the majority of his first year and more in the PICU, with being a micro premie baby his body wasn't developed like ours and his lungs have had complications along with other things as he's growing. He's now 8 and now has two little brothers that look up to him and are currently at home with the help of the people in there lives as Heather Jos mom is a single mom and isn't able to work as she's currently at his bedside in the PICU. She is an extraordinary person and an even better mom. I can't imagine the financial stress this has caused especially since Christmas is right around the corner. So I have made this in hopes to enliten the fiance stress and also show that she's not alone and they have a village behind them!
All proceeds will go directly to them!

A few days ago Jo was on his way to get a shunt revision and the surgery took a few hours and it was a successful surgery but afterwards his airways started to close(lifetime complications of being a PICU baby) he was sedated and was put on the ventilator unable to breathe on his own. Throughout the next few days he had issues with his temperature and they had to wrap him in blankets to keep him warm, his blood pressure spiking and all the tests coming back normal leaving them at square one with zero answers. He finally opened his eyes and squeezed his mom hand yesterday and they had him on the ventilator where he would take a breath and the machine would take one for him. Things took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon though and he was unable to breathe on his own again and once again he's on the ventilator sedated. The doctors have taken him off all pain meds in hopes that he was just too tired to be able to breathe on his own since they have been there he's been on fentanyl so he's now going through the withdrawals of that.

I will continue to post updates and continue to ask for prayers and if you would like to help this amazing mom and this rock star kid out please share pray or donate

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks again
