I am Brayton's mom and asked Serenity to write this for me so all information was correct

My name is Serenity I want to thank you for reading my unborn daughter's story. I’m 22 weeks pregnant currently, and our precious, miracle baby needs specialized care.

We are expecting baby #5, Brayleigh. We just spent the last few nights at St. Vincent Women’s High-Risk Unit. Brayleigh's right atrium of her heart is enlarged due to part of her tricuspid valve being stuck open. This causes her blood to go the wrong way, causing not enough blood to get to her lungs and not enough oxygenated blood getting to the rest of her body. I also have what they call placenta previa, which is where the placenta is covering the cervix, causing it to be high risk.

Brayleigh will need to be delivered early. We aren’t sure how early just yet. Her delivery will happen either at Indy women’s center/ Peyton manning or Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She will end up having a long NICU stay once she’s here, at least a month. Along with that, I will have a hysterectomy as soon as I give birth.

This is going to take both Brayton and I.

Currently, Brayton is laid off from his construction job, and it will not be safe for me to work during the pregnancy. We need to be available for our little girl, whom we feel blessed to even have. I was not supposed to be able to conceive again, but we are thrilled to be welcoming Brayleigh into this world.

We also have four other kids at home -Ages 2,3, 4 and 5 that have needs, as well as monthly expenses. We will need to drive to Indianapolis twice a week for appointments.

I will be hospitalized in 5 weeks at which time Brayleigh will be delivered by caesarean, three months early. If certain problems arise I may be hospitalized again before the five weeks. Brayleigh will have to have surgery to correct the flap on her heart.

We also are not sure how long we may need to stay after she is here.

Our family is asking for financial help so that we can focus on keeping all appointments and be a part of planning for the next few crucial months. We are dedicated to do whatever we need to help our baby girl arrive and become healthy so she can live the life she deserves, along with her sisters and brothers. She is already loved by us and our families. We just need a little help along the way.

Again, I thank you for taking the time to read my daughter's story. Any help we receive will be used for gas, food, monthly bills, and items that may be needed for her care once she comes home. We appreciate any financial help but also prayers, sharing her story, positive vibes, and energy. Mostly, I just want to be able to know Brayleigh and I are safe and healthy. For that to happen, we have to take these steps.
