Wyatt Jared- NEVER BACK DOWN-The legacy lives on
Donation protected
My name is Wyatt Jared Smith. My parents are Cassandra and Steven. I was recently diagnosed with left sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia aka CDH aka Hero baby. My diaphragm didn't finish closing at around 10 weeks old and my stomach and part of my liver is in my chest which can restrict lung development so I can only be born at a hospital that has the equipment (ECMO) to protect me and help me breathe when I'm born. I will need to have surgery. My Mommy and Daddy found me a good surgeon (Dr. Kays) who will fix my diaphragm but he works in Florida. God willing, we will be able to have my surgery done by Dr. Kays.
I am a Hero baby carrying the legacy of Wyatt Slanina's motto "Never Back Down". I have the heart of a Marine like my Uncle Jared. My parents named me before I was diagnosed....but sometimes even Hero's need help.
And.....In comes Nani-Grandma Tanya . We are starting a Go Fund Me for the kids as Cassandra, Steven and I will be having to do a lot of traveling during this time and the kids will need help with their bills including travel expenses, meals that may not be covered by insurance. We are still awaiting approval on FL but regardless we are looking at Cassandra having to be taken to a hospital equipped for Hero/CDH babies 4 weeks before her due date and we have been told to expect a 3 month stay. We are reaching out to friends and family and fellow Christians as we begin our journey for Wyatt.
