Salem's Surgeries
Donation protected
Salem was born in 2011. Though full term and a whopping 9 pounds, he was admitted to NICU just two days after birth with feeding issues, metabolic acidosis, bilateral cataracts, brain bleed, and hypotonia.
He has since been in and out of the hospital several times with unexplained acidosis and has had numerous operations and procedures. He also has an unexplained cognitive and speech disorder as well.



Salem has remained a "medical mystery" to the doctors since birth and will be undergoing his second round of genetics testing at Emory in July. We are praying for answers so we can connect all the dots in order to provide the best therapies and care for our little guy.



Salem just had oral surgery two weeks ago followed by an eye surgery on June 14. He will have eye surgery again July 12,. As mentioned, he will also be having the WES Genetics Test right after his second surgery, on July 17. He may also need muscle surgery before the end of the year.



Though we have insurance, the costs of these upcoming surgeries as well as past surgeries and medical bills is really putting a strain on our family. With three other precious children at home as well, one who will also be having two surgeries before the end of the year, our finances are stretched thin.



We are reaching out for your help and especially your prayers in the days and months ahead. We are so thankful for each of you! Thank you for loving our Salem almost as much as we do. ;)
