Support Callum Conklin's Road to Recovery

Callum Conklin and his sweet family are in need of our help. Callum was admitted to Wolfson’s ICU on 4-9-24 with a Cerebral Cavernous Malformation.

(CCMs leak blood and lead to bleeding in the brain or spinal cord (hemorrhage). Brain hemorrhages can cause many signs and symptoms, such as seizures and stroke-like symptoms. Bleeding in the spinal cord can cause difficulty with movement or feeling in the legs and sometimes arms, as well as bowel and bladder symptoms.)

Callum was finally discharged from Wolfson ICU after a week to Brooks Rehabilitation for physical therapy.

Unfortunately, this experience is similar to one Callum experienced at just a little over 5 weeks old then again at 10 years old when he developed an Arteriovenous Fistula behind his right eye resulting in a brain surgery to place an Onyx implant to stop the brain bleed.

It is looking like Callum will need a Craniotomy/resection surgery once again to attempt to get his blood flowing properly. This serious surgery is scheduled for June 13th. After surgery, we expect him to be in the ICU for 3 to 5 days then Callum will need to retun to Brooks rehab once again for a long road ahead of learning to walk again among many other things.

Karolyn and Ken are obviously under a lot of stress about getting Callum happy, healed, and home. Let's ban together and help take some of their added financial worry away so they can concentrate on getting Callum better. Any amount helps.

Prayers are always appreciated too!

Thanks in advance for loving this family and your assistance in helping get them through this very difficult time for their family.
