Josiah Angel Escobar Funeral

Donation protected


Josiah Angel Escobar had to be delivered May 2, 2015 at only 31 week because both him and his mother caught preclamsyia. Josiah was also born with a desease that every 1,400 babies get in the world where he retained fluid throughout his entire body. At only 3 pounds Josiah was born a fighter! Day three he started to grow a tumor that became the size of a tennis ball that bulged out his back causeing all of his organs to be pushed up into his rib cage causing breathing problems for our angel. Day 5 he was rushed to Rush Medical University to undergo his first surgery. He had a colostomy bag placed to help him urinate and release bowls. He stood strong and did amazing after surgery fluids that were retained drained immidiately. Day 11 he started to retain fluids again causing his kidneys to fail, that is when he was sent to undergo another surgery to place tubes in both of his kidneys. Due to the tumor growing in speed one kidney was unable to be accessed. At this point he was full of tubes in both front and back. This blessing fought like a champ through all this giving us hope. His smile was amazing his eyes glowed life to us seemed endless but that all change on his 17th day of life...... Josiah Angel Ecobar went into his major surgery to remove the tumor that was causing his little body extreme stress. The tumor was called Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) Due to the tumor putting pressure on his vains and artery blood flow to his heart was limited. His vains became cloged causing his heart to stop during surgery. He was relived and surgery was stopped, he then was taken back to his room with mom and dad to rest but within the next 15 minutes his heart rate began to drop and the team of doctors were unable to save him.........WE PRAYED SO HARD AND AT ONLY 17 DAYS JOSIAH STOLE ALL OF OUR HEARTS! Please help my family. Jose is the father and he works a minimum wage job to support his family. Right now they are struggling to make ends meet and now they have to plan a funeral. Its a huge expense on the family and any little count please help us get our family  through this horrible moment.........
