Hi! My name is Chelsey and I am baby Taytum’s non biological aunt since Lexey is like my little sister. At 9 days old on Oct 13th- Taytum spiked a fever and was admitted to UPMC Childrens hospital in Pittsburgh. They eliminated bacterial infections and confirmed that she contracted the rhinovirus. On Saturday they discovered the virus had attacked her heart and she was taken to the NICU for treatment. Taytum has a long road ahead for recovery.

Unfortunately, Weirton is too close for Lexey and Blake to qualify for the Ronald McDonald House- and therefore will be making the drive daily until she gets to come home (which is unknown at this time) this gofundme is being set up to help with the gas expenses, medical expenses, and any other expenses that may arise over the next few weeks. We thank you so much!
