Medical expenses for Elias Dortch
Donation protected



If you've been following my sister-in-law and her husband's journey through this you know of the loss of their sweet baby girl, Eden Rose, and their miscarriages after. She has shared so much of her heart with us and been so open and raw about the pain of losing a child, and the struggles of pregnancy after a loss. This little man means so much to them, and to our family.
After his birth Elias experienced unusually high bilirubin levels, he received light therapy and Leah was only able to hold him for very short periods of time to nurse. For a mother who has waited so long, and been through so much to bring a baby into this world, this has been heartbreaking for us all to watch. They were able to bring him home for a short period of time but his bilirubin levels rose this past week, and he has been hospitalized again. They have diagnosed him with hemolytic disease of the newborn or HDN, he is currently receiving transfusions and phototherapy. For more details about his condition you can see Leah's posts. They are in NWA and may be there for some time.
Leah and Steele would never ask anyone for anything, but I would like to ask for help on their behalf.
If you love these two, like I know so many of you do, you would probably jump at the chance to ease their burden in some way, they will have hospital, food, and hotel expenses. If you can help at all, I know it would mean the world to them. Thank you to everyone who has already reached out and shown love, you are so appreciated.
