At 32 weeks pregnant on August 29, 2017, I realized I hadn't felt any fetal movement since the night before.  After a trip to the ER, I was rushed to Labor & Delivery. An emergency C-section delivered baby Dalton at 3:07 am on August 30, 2017.  He was suffering from respiratory failure, a brain injury (due to loss of oxygen), and a clot in his right kidney.  He has had a rough start in life and it's going to be a long road to recovery.  He is still in critical condition at 3 weeks old; however, he is stable.  He suffers from a grade 4 brain bleed aka IVH-Intraventricular Hemorrhage.  This is the worst level of IVH and may require a shunt placement to relieve fluid on his brain and a high risk for Cerebral Pasley.  He is 100% dependent on an oscillating ventilator receiving oxygen and nitric oxide.  His settings

 have been weaned a little since he is stable; however, his left lung has collapsed several times.  He still has a clot in his right kidney. Today he opened both eyes for the first time which gives us more hope.  Please consider blessing us with a monetary donation that will help offset me not being able to work so I can be at the hospital with our son and/or possibly extend my medical leave so I can take care of my family.  We are a family of 6 now living on one income and we have fallen behind drastically.  We love all of you and thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
