Hi everyone,
This isn’t something we’ve wanted to share But here we are, I am currently 7 months pregnant.
We always imagined announcing our third and final baby in a special way— with excitement, happy photos, and celebration when he’s born. We never imagined sharing this pregnancy through hospital visits, pain, fear, and asking for help.
During this pregnancy, I developed serious kidney complications caused by a kidney stone that doctors cannot safely remove until after I give birth & extremely complicated kidney infections Because of this, I’ve had to undergo multiple surgeries, 2 hospital stays that were 10 days and live with a nephrostomy tube while trying to continue being a mom to our two children and prepare for our last baby.
The physical pain has been overwhelming. There are days where the pressure and pain are so severe that it’s hard to sleep, walk, or even use the bathroom without crying. Between constant appointments, surgeries every 4 weeks, hospital stays, medications, and complications, life has completely changed for our family in ways we never expected. To top it all off our family car decided to break down on the way to the OB yesterday so we are also currently dealing with getting it diagnosed and fixed.
As parents, we always try to handle things on our own. Asking for help does not come easy to us. But this season has brought emotional, physical, and financial stress . As most of you know we moved to north carolina for david’s job in November therefore we don’t have any help here.
We are asking for support to help
•take relief off of david while he’s home with the kids while i’m in the hospital.
• Household bills during recovery
More than anything, we are trying to make it through this pregnancy safely and bring our baby into the world healthy while keeping our family afloat during such a difficult time.
If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your prayers would mean the world to us.
Thank you for supporting us during a chapter of life we never expected to face this way.
With love,
Courtney & Family
