Support Elizabeth Cazier's Birth Journey

My name is Elizabeth Cazier and my baby boy, Elio Joseph, came into the world on November 11th at 6:54 am at 4 lbs 10 oz and 18 inches long via emergency cesarean section. He was 2 months early. He is so strong and steadfast and I feel blessed to be his momma.

I had HELLP syndrome and was in mortal danger if he stayed inside me. https://www.preeclampsia.org/hellp-syndrome

On top of being premature, he has a serious heart defect. His heart valves are flipped, so he has was working on life support and many medications to keep oxygen in his blood.

We will be staying at UCSF Mission Bay for the next few months at least. We have gone into open heart surgery today to resolve his d-TGA and VSD.

Please consider donating so I can stay with him as long as possible as we both heal. I need to focus solely on Elio to allow us to fight/heal together.

If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Nicole Keenan.

With heartfelt gratitude, Elizabeth Cazier
