Our family is growing, and we are expecting a little baby boy in November. We couldn’t be more excited!

As our 20 week ultrasound approached, the anticipation to learn the gender of our baby grew. Little did we know, that this appointment would bring us news that all parents fear. The news that there is something wrong with your baby.

We were told the baby had some abnormalities in his chest and were referred to a MFM (maternal fetal medicine) Doctor in Elmira. At this appointment, we were told our baby had a 1% chance to live. We were heartbroken.

This doctor referred us for a second opinion in NYC where we were told the same news, and referred to the Children’s Hosptial of Philadelphia (CHOP), where last week after many long days, tears, and even more doctor's appointments, we received a diagnosis of Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM).

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is the first hospital to give us hope and tell us our baby has a chance at life.

In the best interest of our baby and mom, we have temporarily relocated to Philadelphia to recieve care. Having to take time away from work, temporary housing, travel expenses, and medical bills are all costly items.

We are trusting God, and asking everyone to keep us in their prayers, and any financial donations would be deeply appreciated.
