Support Essence in her Jounery against JAUNDICE

Hello, my name is Essence Wilson. I am the daughter of Tishana Moore and Shawntest Wilson. At just 4 months old, I am experiencing liver failure. When I was born, I was diagnosed with Jaundice and was sent home to do sunlight therapy. My parents noticed my condition getting worse, so they took me to my pediatrician who told them I no longer had Jaundice and wouldn't check my levels even though you could see the yellow in my eyes. My parents never gave up pushing the issue and seeking other options. By then, I got worse. My poop changed from a mustard color to white as paper. They immediately took me to Children's Hospital where I was airlifted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, TN. Here, we learned that there are two different types of Jaundice and the one I have causes liver failure.

My parents are so strong, dealing with all this new news at once. They started me on eight different medications to get my levels low enough for me to go home. I was there for a week before being discharged. My mom noticed I still wasn't being my happy self and took me to my new pediatrician who sent us back to Vanderbilt immediately because my levels jumped back up. My liver has worsened and is now Cirrhosis. I've been in the hospital for over a month with my parents by my side. We are asking for help to take care of the medicine my insurance won't cover and trips to the doctor that I'll have to see for the rest of my life.

I'm asking for prayers while I wait on the transplant list for a smooth operation and a speedy recovery. I'm Essence Wilson, welcome to the journey against Jaundice.
