Support for Parker Lyon & Family!

Donation protected

In February 2019, Parker was diagnosed with a severe case of HSP. Essentially, all the small blood vessels in his body were so inflamed that they began to burst. They leaked into his joints, causing arthritis, and shut down his entire GI system for over 2 weeks. There is no known treatment or cure, and when aggressive pain management and anti inflammatories weren’t successful, he was put on a long-term, high dose steroid treatment. He improved but still endured pain and inflammation for months.

Parker relapsed in September and the HSP came back with a vengeance. He was admitted to Children’s all over once again in excruciating pain in more of his body, so he immediately began an even more aggressive steroid treatment than before that lasted for 4 months. He responded extremely well to the steroids, but his kidneys are struggling and are leaking blood into his urine, and this past week, test results also showed protein in his urine. This is a hard blow after all his recent progress, but the family is staying positive and prayerful, and Parker’s amazing strength and resilience through this all is such a bright spot! ☀️ Children’s nephrology is treating him and monitoring him closely and he is under excellent care, which the Lyons are extremely thankful for.  

However the family has incurred significant medical expenses over the past year, so we’ve setup this site if you’d like to contribute financially to them. Their anticipated need is around $7,200. For this family who has blessed all of us, now is our time to help them on their difficult journey. Thank you SO much for all who’ve supported and donated and prayed for them thus far! You are appreciated beyond words!!
