Help us get back on our feet
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you all about a very strong and brave 12 year old by the name of Kieran Stanley.
Kieran starting getting stomach pains at the beginning of Febuary so his mother Amanda took him to see his pediatrician who ordered
blood work and an x-ray both of which came back normal, a few days later Kieran was not showing any signs of improvment so Amanda
took him to the emergency at the Children's Hospital at which time they said he was severely constipated, they treated Kieran told Amanda the signs
to watch for and if there was no improvement to bring him back. Well things just went from bad to worse in just a few days. Kieran has now
been at the Children's Hospital since Febuary 16th and have not been given a date to go home yet.
Amanda is a single woman and a mother to three amazing boys who works two jobs and has not been able to work or care for her other two boys.
Their father has had the other two boys full time as Amanda has been by Kierans side 24/7. She has had some chances to go home to shower and
grab things needed for Kieran and herself and has had the chance to get away for a night by Kieran's father coming to spend the night with his boy.
Kieran has had a double scope to see what is going on which showed nothing, after having the procedure done he had problems
keeping his oxygen levels up at whice time the found fluid on his lungs and around his heart. Kieran also for years has had a limited
diet due to other issues he is dealing with so they have had to insert a feeding tube in his stomach though his nose.
Last week Kieran's team of Dr's have finally found the issue, turns out Kieran has Intestinal Malrotation. For more information on intestinal malrotation you can follow this link, http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/digestive/malrotation.html.
While the surgeon is repairing Kierans bowels she is going to place a permanent feeding tube in his stomach so he wont have to live his life
with a tube in his nose.
Kieran and Amanda have finally been given a surgery Date of March 13 2014.
And to top off all that has been going on Amanda's only means to transportion, (her mother's car) died.
Kieran will have weeks of recovery ahead of him and Amanda at this point does not know when she will be able to return to work.
So we are asking for donations of any amount to help support Amanda and her three kids at this time where she has been unable to work.
Thank you for your time any any donations made.
