Laura and Shane immediately made an appointment at Motts Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor .
On July 13th, 2017 their worst fears came true and the Aortic Coarction was confirmed after several tests .
An Aortic Coarction is a narrowing of the large blood vessel (aorta) that leads from the heart.
Ben is going to need surgery before the fall to correct this . He will be in the hospital for approximately 7 nights and will need several post op visits and about 6 weeks of rest/ recovery .
EDIT: Ben's surgery has been set for Thursday August 2nd, 2017.
The reason behind this Go Fund Me is this . No parent should have to choose between being with their child during surgery and recovery or Paying their bills .
Laura currently works through Beaumont . She does have FMLA which will protect her from loosing her job , however short term disability will only pay if SHE has surgery ...
Laura has ALWAYS been so generous and giving to everyone when help is needed . She's a great friend , daughter ,grand daughter , niece , co-worker ,a beautiful person all around and more importantly an excellent mother .I know this is the last thing she wants to do , but she needs our help . She needs to be with her son in his time of need .
