Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to share that I’m fundraising for my brother Skyler, his baby Ezra (my nephew), and his girlfriend Estephanie. Ezra was born a month early on Monday, September 2nd, at 5:24 PM. Shortly after his birth, he was taken to the NICU because his lungs and heart were not functioning correctly and his blood was not receiving enough oxygen. Skyler was hopeful when he was told that the next day things would improve, and he would finally be able to hold his baby for the first time—Ezra just needed a little extra help. Tragically, things took a turn for the worse. The oxygen and machines that were supporting him could no longer stabilize his vitals. Last night, Ezra was transferred by helicopter to Boston Children’s Hospital for immediate medical treatment. The team there is doing everything in their power to determine the cause of his condition and why his lungs and heart are not functioning as they should. Ezra has been placed on an ECMO machine to oxygenate his blood, which is a form of life support. However, an CT-scan revealed bleeding in his brain, and in order to continue using the ECMO, he needs to be on blood thinners, which complicates his treatment. Additionally, the doctors had to perform another procedure due to elevated ammonia levels in his blood. The medical team at Boston Children’s Hospital is very concerned and is actively working with specialists to explore whether this may be a genetic issue. Our family’s hearts are breaking right now; no one ever prepares for or expects such a tragedy. We are asking for your prayers for baby Ezra, and any donations you can make would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Your donations will ensure that they can remain in Boston and be close to Ezra while he is under medical care in the ICU cardiac wing.
