Support Randall's Lifesaving Transplant Journey

Have you ever met a real-life superhero...? Let me introduce you to one!

Our sweet son, 13-year-old Randall, our warrior boy! Born with a rare lifelong genetic immune deficiency (X-linked agammaglobulinemia) that requires ongoing lifelong immunoglobulin infusions monthly. Randall has been through more in his 13 years of life than most will ever experience in a lifetime.

On Jan 14, 2021, at 9 years old, we noticed something was going on and requested his doctor to run additional tests beyond his normal check-ups. Those results came back abnormal, and unknown to us at the time, we began this journey. For 4 years, he endured the unimaginable for a child: constant extended hospitalizations, a multitude of tests, and procedures for years. All to end up with the same scenario—no answers, groups of doctors giving it their all to figure out what was wrong with our boy with no success.

Fast forward to June 6, 2024, we met Dr. S, a hepatologist in Orlando, FL, hours from home. From day one, she was our angel this side of heaven! We were finally getting somewhere with answers! On July 16, 2024, Randall was given a diagnosis of advanced stage liver disease, portal hypertension, and major splenomegaly, with a transplant expected in the future. We left with a heavy weight yet relieved for an answer and thought we had time before progression. July to early December 2024 continued with hospital stays, added blood transfusions, and extremely complicated healing of incisions from procedures. Late December, things progressed quickly, and he was believed to have progressed into liver failure. At that time, Dr. S had moved further south, and we made the decision to follow her. Randall was emergently transported to Miami to continue care with Dr. S. We met the rest of his new team, who words cannot begin to explain how phenomenal they all are! Although it is hours from home, it is one of only two transplant centers for his needs in the state. And without a doubt, we made the right choice! Early January, he began evaluation for a liver transplant, and his case was presented to the selection board, resulting in a deferral pending more testing. Fast track to current (March 2025), the second go at selection has been put on hold. We have learned of our next angel this side of heaven, Dr. K. We now move forward with further evaluation for a possible viral infection that comes with extreme complications for immune-compromised patients. On the contrary to liver failure, this could be mimicking liver failure and instead be the cause of everything. Pending results of testing, we are faced with two possibilities for sure: either a bone marrow transplant or a liver transplant.

With either one, it will require being done hours from home and family, accompanied by an extensively prolonged stay of several months in the immediate area of the transplant hospital. Due to Randall being extremely fragile, more than a common transplant would be normally, he is not an ideal candidate for hospital-provided housing. So, we are required to take this on ourselves. In addition to the everyday cost of necessities, this requirement comes with major expenses that are not covered by insurance.

Please join us in our efforts to raise funds that will help support Randall, our warrior boy, as we venture through this journey of liver or bone marrow transplant and the extended road of recovery following.

No amount is too little. If you are able to donate to Randall's transplant journey, we sincerely thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts! If you cannot, that is okay too! We will take all prayers we can for success!
