Medical Expenses for Emory Himes and family

Donation protected
Hello everyone. We are the Himes family. Our son Emory (7) was recently diagnosed with chiari malformation type 1 (brain tissue being pushed out through his spinal canal) and a syrnx (excess spinal fluid, cyst like) in his spinal cord that extends down to his thoracic vertebrae which is going to require surgery. He will be having a portion of his skull removed and a portion of his c1 vertebrae as well. Recovery time from this surgery will be roughly a month before he will be able to return to school with limitations. His mother and I will also have to take time from work (lost wages) to care for him and get his sister (5) to and from school and activities. His Neurosurgeon is in Pittsburgh which is 2 1/2 hours away and its easier for us to travel and stay the day before due to our work schedules. We will be having a few more appointments before surgery and obviously follow ups afterwards. The past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least with each Monday being spent in Pittsburgh for sedated MRIS ,catscans , and our first appointment with the neuro and it's starting to take its toll financially. We hate to ask for help but unfortunately this is our current situation. Any help would be appreciated.

God Bless,
