Milo Baker needs a miracle!

Hi! My name is Amanda Jane Jones—I'm fundraising for Milo Baker (Brennon and Hillaree Baker are his parents) because he is very sick and his family needs our help. When our family was in need, Milo’s parents helped and sacrificed for us in so many ways. They would never ask for this, but I know that collectively, if we all pitch in a little, it can go a long way. 

 

In normal life, Milo is exceptionally active. He does backflips, bikes, skis, plays soccer and is a wonderful help at home and is so kind.

 

In the last week of March, Milo had a fever that lasted for a week. He was diagnosed with the Mono Virus. For 5 weeks, Milo was exhausted and had trouble finding the energy to carry on with regular activity. On Friday, April 29th, Milo began exhibiting extreme weakness- like drifting from side to side and nearly collapsing as he walked.

 

On Sunday, May 1st, Milo was taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC). He was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) and was taken to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where he has been ever since. During this time at the hospital, Milo has lost nearly all mobility and his speech. He can now only communicate by moving his eyes to indicate yes or no.

 

FROM MILO’S PARENTS: “It breaks our hearts to see him in this state. We are prayerful and hopeful that he will begin showing signs of improvement soon. Milo will be released from the hospital once he can perform basic functions on his own. It is expected that this will take weeks if not months to get to this point. We are not sure what the future looks like, but the odds are in Milo's favor that he can make a full recovery at some point...”

 

The recovery after the pediatric hospital (whenever they make it there) can take years and years, so Milo has a long road ahead of him. Milo has to see many specialists; some aren’t covered on his insurance. These many days in the hospital have taken a toll on their family.  This family needs a miracle, and I’d love to help them out. If you can spare even $5- please do! We have set up a go fund me link in my profile.

 

Our goal is $30k! If you can spare even $3, I know from experience it adds up so fast for a family in need! Thank you for considering!
