Support Rylan's Journey Through Heart Surgery
Donation protected
Rylan came into the world on March 22nd, 2024. Early in Amanda’s pregnancy, they discovered that Rylan has Down Syndrome and a complete AV canal defect. Throughout the pregnancy, Amanda had numerous appointments to ensure the best care for Rylan. He arrived a little early at 36 weeks and was immediately taken to the NICU for an echocardiogram, which confirmed the heart condition seen during pregnancy.
Rylan spent 28 days in the NICU due to a bowel infection, bradycardia, and feeding difficulties. During his stay, he underwent surgery to place a G-tube, which he now relies on entirely for nutrition. At home he is doing well and thriving despite the medical challenges he is facing.
Looking ahead, Rylan faces open-heart surgery on July 25th at Medical City-Dallas. While the family’s insurance covers most medical costs, they will still face significant expenses.
If you feel moved to help financially, it would mean the world to them. Your prayers and support are deeply appreciated during this time. Thank you for standing with them.
