Hi there! My name is India Sluder, I’m Raimee and Dusty’s sister in law.

On February 28th they gave birth to the most perfect beautiful baby girl, Palmer Lynn Lyons.

Since 20 weeks Raimee and Dusty have known they would not be having a typical birth. Palmer was diagnosed with a type 2 sacrococcygeal teratoma. A 1 in 40,000 tumor located at the base of the spine.

Palmer was placed in the care of the NICU team at OHSU/Dorenbecher Children’s hospital. At 2 days old she was taken to the OR to have major surgery to remove the mass. She is now on a long road to recovery but she is doing so good already!

I am putting this Gofund me together to hopefully lessen the financial stress for Raimee and Dusty. They will both be staying full time to be with their little one to help her grow and develop until they are able to take her home. Please keep baby Palmer in your thoughts and prayers.
