Help for Leland

Donation protected
Our sweet, smart little boy has been battling illness for 3 weeks now. The doctors have confirmed meningitis but are still waiting on culture and test results to know which kind. Leland is so strong and has been so brave. It pains me so much to see my baby like this. I'm crying as I type. He has been at children's hospital for 6 days now. He has several teams of multiple doctors working with him and treating him. He's on 10 different medications and they all have terrible side effects. He's soiled himself a few times from the medication as well. He has had bad headaches, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and now his eyes are crossed and he can't focus on anything without his eyes moving and seeing double. The thing we ask for most is prayers for fast healing, smart doctors, less pain, and no long term effects. We do have insurance but there will be our deductible to pay and plus whatever bill we get from the hospital that insurance didn't cover. Plus eating and buying new underwear and special diet foods for Leland have added up. Plus all the costs before we got here with paying for tests out of pocket and emergency room copays and medications. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for our boy. So many of you have offered to help and we are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends. I know we are far from everyone since we are in Atlanta so I thought this might be an easy way for those of you who want to, to help. I have no idea what costs we will accrue but this page will me a good starting point. Please share and pray and let others know that sometimes cases aren't straight forward. I'm glad I decided to go ahead and bring him to Egleston! Thank you everyone and we love you all!
