Dylan Bartlett is a very active 13 year old who is a lifelong resident of Hinckley-Big Rock. He loves American Ninja Warrior, Fortnite, all things video games and even has his own YouTube channel showing off his gaming skills. Outside his passion for video games, he likes spending time with his friends, cousins, and baby brother. He excels at school, won the middle school spelling bee this past year, and his talents extend into the band classroom as a percussionist.
You may not know it to look at Dylan but this soon-to-be 8th grader has already had 2 open heart surgeries and he is preparing to undergo another open heart surgery this summer. His 1st surgery was at 6 weeks old to fix his transposition of the great arteries, a ventricular septal defect, an atrial septal defect, his coarctation of the aortic arch, and the patent ductus arteriosus. At his 2nd surgery at 9 months old he had a mechanical aortic valve placed. His upcoming surgery is going to replace the mechanical aortic valve, replace his aortic root, and enlarge the left pulmonary artery.
Dylan will be having these procedures done at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Friends and family are trying to help defray medical costs, living expenses, and loss of wages.
Just to give you an idea:
$15 for 24 hour parking at the hospital
$5 per person for breakfast, $7 per person for lunch,
$7 per person for dinner for parents to order food to the room
$25 estimated gas for 1 round trip
$3 estimated tolls for 1 round trip
Total for both parents (1 car) for 1 day = $81
Total for both parents (1 car) for 1 week = $567
Total for both parents (1 car) for 1 month (estimated time at hospital) = $2,268
This does NOT include the actual medical expenses.
This also does NOT include other day-to-day expenses like rent, gas bill, water bill, garbage bill, electric bill, loss of time from work for both parents, care for his baby brother, etc.
