Prayers for Shelby Byrd

Donation protected
Shelby is a 4 year old  A L L  Leukemia patient that has P R E S condition (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy  Syndrome)  which was caused by an adverse reaction to a chemo drug called  Asparagunase. The chemo drug used caused bleeding in the brain which led to red blood cells clogging the ports that go from the ventricles  to her spinal column, in which caused her ventricle to enlarge and cause white matter. All of those adverse reactions caused slight brain damage at that point in time and Shelby had to learn how to walk and talk all over again, but Shelby has performed  quicker than the Dr's could ever have imagined, but her inter cranial pressure has been exceeding each day. She has been battling this battle for almost 2 years now. She now goes to USA Women and Children's Hospital, and to the USS hope once a month. Here recently she's had quite a battle. Her pressures have been extremely high so we have to travel to Birmingham to have some test done and we've always just ask for prayers and that was all we ever wanted, but it's getting to the point where it is getting very costly right now. I have enough in medical bills from 1 month of treatment to buy 2 new cars or low end house from when the insurance company dropped her because we missed a review while we were on a trip with make a wish for Shelby. As soon as we found out we took care of it, but during that time the medical costs started piling up. If anyone can help, even if it is only a dollar anything helps, and I know it's Christmas time and I have never asked for a handout or for any help because I work six or seven days a week pretty much every week. It has gotten to the point where it's just overwhelming so please if you can give what you can that would be amazing and greatly appreciated even if it you can only spare a dollar every penny helps, but if not that's fine too we will just love prayers and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holidays. Please keep praying and thank you all.
Sincerely,
Scot Byrd (Shelby's dad)
