I know we see many of these fund raising websites on a regular basis and I know that Brianna and Travis will be embarrassed by this, but... I want to help! This is the best way I know to do that. We know firsthand what they will be facing. Those expenses add up fast. Deacon has been diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation as well as some boney anomalies including a broken vertebra. He is going in for surgery on the 16th of April where they will drill 2 holes into his skull and break away a portion of his skull to create more room for his brain. They will also remove his top vertebra and will be fusing his spine together with pins, screws, and portions of his own ribs. They expect to have him stay in the hospital for 4 to 5 days after the surgery. Brianna, Travis, and Deacon will then stay in a hotel for another week after his surgery so they can be close to the hospital in Salt Lake in case anything happens. This will be an expensive surgery. The expense that comes from being away from home, will be more than their little family can handle. Travis will not be paid for the time he will be away from work. Brianna babysits full time, sells makeup, coaches tennis for the highschool, rebuilds old furniture to sell, and fills in at Chadwick Sports Grille as needed. She will also not be able to work during this time, as well as the 12 weeks to follow while Deacon is recovering. Please donate anything you can. The smallest amount will help. If you cannot make a donation, please share this page. We are so grateful for the love and support they have received along with all of the thoughts and prayers.
