Some of you may know of or may have endured the pain chelsea and I did as parents on the night of 1-5-17. We lost our son , before our eyes , we did everything as parents to keep him alive, and he was still unresponsive, purple, and limp. My husband did CPR and resuscitated him back to life as the paramedics were rushing in the house . Seeing my son , lifeless , in my husbands arms for approximately 5 minutes all whilst screaming at the 911 operator to hurry , just waiting for a scream , waiting for a cry , waiting for any sign of life at all , tore me down , broke me apart , within seconds . Two watch our 4 year old run to the neighbors screaming " my brother is dead" while the world is spinning around you and you don't know what your supposed to do because your infant is being rushed by ambulance and people are running past you , asking you questions while everything is a blur , I hope this day never comes to any of you , nor to ourselves ever again. However, after visiting his PCP for a check up today , we have found out that what we thought was acid reflux symptoms everyday , for weeks and months was actually seizures , everyday for the last 3-4 months , we have determined they are miniature seizures, caused by his cerebral palsy , there are damages to his brain due to a traumatic birth , this will now be life long disability. We need help , we cannot leave our son in the care of just anyone which makes it to where we cannot and will not be able to work for the time being , his doctor has now advised us that everytime there is a seizure we need to bypass Salem hospital and go straight to doernbechers or Randall's children's hospital , because of the lack of attention and care they gave my son during his accident last night. Due to the financial burden of not being able to leave our son for hours at a time , we were forced to sell our car during a hardship back in November . Ultimately , we have to prepare ourselves to be able and ready at any given time to drive to Portland during a seizure, when this is an everyday to every other day occurrence, we do not have the resources to buy a car let alone a reliable car . We did not have the finances to make a car payment until now , but we certainly don't have the credit nor the amount of money required to put on a down payment to get us a car that would be able to drive from Salem to Portland multiple times a week not only for his seizures but also his endless testing & upcoming appointments . We are asking for anything to help us get out of this financial bind so we can make sure our son is where he needs to be as soon as possible . If you know of anyone who can help us emotionally , financially , we are open to tons of options . Please understand , we don't mind asking friends for rides , but no one is going to be able to help us all day everyday and be on call for any given time and we do not have the resources within our close in radius family to not have to worry about a ride . Please help us get the word out , and I promise to pay back every dollar loaned to us , in 2x the amount. Thank you everyone .
