It takes a village!! The Aughenbaugh family needs our help! After 4 years of prayer and waiting for the right time, Lily will undergo surgery to reconstruct her spine. She was born with severe scoliosis, missing ribs which exposes vital organs and compromises her lung capacity. She has miraculously made it this far without intervention (except supplemental oxygen) however she needs this next step. The plan so far is Lily will have a surgery on her tethered spinal cord, at the same time they will bolt to her head and back to a lengthening device. 6 bolts. Then 4- 5 weeks for adding lengthening . Then the big surgery of placing Harrington Rods. Estimated time is around 6 weeks. Felice and baby will have to be in Salt Lake City with Lily while dad works and grandpa cares for and homeschools the boys. This involves missing a LOT of work, travel expenses…so many things I can imagine adding up. Any burden we can help make lighter for this family would be greatly appreciated!!
