Baby Liam's Hospital Stay

Hey Guys!

As some may know, Kelsey Hall is my sister-in-law, and Mark Payne is my step-brother. They have the most adorable, loving, precious kids, Mark(11), Addie(9), Nat-Nat(5), Liam(3), and the newest addition Alexander(4wks).

Over the holiday weekend, Kelsey and Mark noticed something was wrong/off with Liam and immediately took him to PRMC; from there, they determined the cause of his eye twitching and rolling back was absent seizures. PRMC started him on anti-seizure meds and did an emergency MRI, and from there, they received the most devastating news any parent could bear to hear. "We found a tumor in the frontal lobe of Liam's brain; we are life-flighting him to Children's Hospital in Washington DC for further treatment." Kelsey, Mark and the rest of the family were in utter shock that just two days ago, her perfectly healthy, happy, thriving three-year-old baby boy was now being flown by helicopter 2 hours away from her, hooked up to heart monitors, oxygen, has IV's in his little arms, now has to be sedated and have an emergency brain biopsy where they will cut a flap into his skull on Friday 09/09/2022 to see what even we are dealing with. The world of unknowns is a terrifying place, especially for their other four kids, who aren't old enough to understand what all is happening with their baby brother, as well as Kelsey and Mark, who had a baby born sleeping last year, so it's hitting them a little harder than the average person, to know there is something wrong with their sweet love bug, and there is nothing Mommy or Daddy can do, other than place trust in some of the best doctors in the United States. Thankfully Mark is able to go and stay with Liam at Children's, but now, all financial responsibility is back onto Kelsey, who has been out of work due to her Emergency C-section 4 weeks ago with baby Alex. They are on the brink of losing everything(sane minds included). Now, with the extended hospital stay and no car, so no way Mark can come to relieve Kelsey or vice versa. Kelsey is home with the other four siblings, who are extremely upset about missing their dad and baby brother and her inability to work because of baby Alex. She is still recovering from her recent hospital stay.

Liam will have a long road to recovery; we will find out more about how long the road will be on Friday. Most likely, doctors appointments, procedures, and hospital stays (2 hours away from home), we won't know until Friday.

As of now, we don't know what, and we will never know why, but what we do know is we can pull together as a community for this family.

I'm asking if you would help lessen the burden so Kelsey and Mark can focus on Liam and his recovery rather than bills piling up with no other way to pay them. If you're unable to donate, please say a prayer for Liam.
