Support Baby Braxton's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
Hey everyone, this is Joey and Cait’s older brother. I want to start this off by saying Baby Braxton and his family are going to be just fine! But we have a long road to recovery.
Braxton was born on 7/25/2025; at a beautiful 6lbs and 10oz, 20” tall.
Once Braxton joined our world, the Doctors found that Braxton’s esophagus is under developed and attached to his trachea. Meaning that anything Braxton will eat or drink will go directly into his lungs.
Braxton had his first helicopter ride and was brought to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where they continued more comprehensive testing and discovered a few other complications. He is undergoing emergency surgery, and has a very very long road to recovery ahead of him. Braxton is anticipated to have a full recovery.
We are asking for help to ease the financial strain placed on the family. For things like hospital bills, childcare for their two daughters at home, travel expenses, physical therapy and rehab for Baby Braxton, and not being able to work for an undetermined extended period of time.
They are so incredibly grateful for anything you can give. Even if it isn’t monetary. Thoughts and prayers are so appreciated.
