Rochelle and Ethan went in for a regular OB visit at just 14 weeks pregnant when they found out that their baby had a rare form of gastroschisis. Gastroschisis is a birth defect in the abdominal wall, in which the baby's intestines can be found outside of the body. In months following, after many trips to Marshfield they were prepared for their baby to have surgery immediately after being born to correct her defect. Rochelle was scheduled to deliver sweet baby Scarlett early at 35 weeks.
Scarlett Lynn Bakalars was born on October 7, 2018 and was rushed to Marshfield to be cared for. Unfortunately, Scarlett's surgery did not go according to plan, meaning the surgery could not be completed. The doctors did not catch on her ultrasounds that her blood supply to her small intestine was compromised. This left Ethan and Rochelle with the extremely difficult decision to withdraw all medical care for baby Scarlett leaving Ethan, Rochelle, Arianah and family completely devastated. The doctor's educated Ethan and Rochelle on both scenarios, but never did they prepare them for the worst case scenario.
At this time, Ethan and Rochelle have spent every last moment they have with their baby girl until she passes away. Because they are both unable to work at this time, hotel expenses and bills have begun to accrue.
Donations of any amount will help Ethan and Rochelle to pay for their bills, hotel expenses, and unexpected funeral expenses for baby Scarlett. If you cannot donate, please share this beautiful families story and pray for their healing during this hard and trying time.
