Support for Baby Harper and the Siess Family

Donation protected

Baby Harper has had a rough entrance into this world. Here is a post Darby made summarizing Harper’s condition:

Asking for lots and lots of prayers for our sweet baby girl. She’s had such a rough 2.5 days of life and she doesn’t deserve it

Long story short, we were transferred to Mercy STL NICU on Thursday night because Harper was having seizure like activity... after having an MRI yesterday and speaking with the neonatal neurologist Harper has been diagnosed with bilateral strokes in her brain caused from being stuck in the birth canal during delivery- her shoulders got stuck for 45 seconds causing lack of blood flow to her brain. The stroke is causing seizures- we’ve had several now the longest lasting 40 minutes (the longest 40 minutes of our lives). We can’t hold her right now, we can only apply light pressure to her extremities (we don’t want too much stimulation) and of course talk to her and tell her how much we love her.
Please, please just pray for our baby girl. We feel so helpless at this point and just want to take this all away from her.

I have had a lot of people reach out and ask how they can help or what they can do. This is going to be a long journey for Darby and Todd and I think one thing we can do is take away the far off thought of any kind of financial burden. I know this by no means takes away the burden of Harper’s diagnosis, but it is something. 


We believe in a God who is powerful enough to do anything and we know He will work this out for the good, no matter if we can see what that looks like or not. We are all praying Harper will recover and show little to no deficit. Kids are so resilient. 


Thank you for any and all support ❤️
