Help for Baby Kailyn

Donation protected




My name is Kailyn Tiffany. I weight 1 lb. 8 oz. and I am 11" long. I came into this world very early. My mommy, Katie, was only 20 weeks pregnant when her water broke. They kept me inside for about 3 weeks then they life flighted us to Boise Idaho and thought they could keep me inside for a while longer. She got a horrible infection and the doctors said if I wasn't born, my mommy could die. I was born January 19th at 11:00 am. My mommy had a traumatic experience just in delivering me, and after an emergency C section and a blood transfusion, she is doing better today. My Daddy has been going back and forth between holding my hand and mommy's hand. The doctors told my family not to get their hopes up, but I am a real trooper and I have a great desire to live. I am only 2 days old and they have already taken me off of oxygen and I'm breathing on my own. I opened my eyes to see my mommy when she touched me through the incubator. The nurses say that is very unusual for a baby as tiny as I am. I know it is a miracle that I am even alive and my family thanks our Heavenly Father for that.
I am the 4th child coming to a family of 3 boys. They told everyone about me as a Christmas gift. Guess a little girl coming into a family of boys is pretty exciting news. My parents have been through a lot of trials this year but they are the most wonderful caring people in the world.
My daddy started a new business and things have been really slow since November. My mommy is a nurse at the hospital but won't be able to work for a long time. They think I will be in the hospital at least 2 months. My family live 140 miles from the hospital and travel for my daddy to come and see me is going to cost a lot.
Since my mommy can't work and my daddy's work is slow, our family really needs your help. My bills will be in the hundreds of thousands. Yes, my parents have insurance, but it only covers 80% and with my daddy's work slow and my mommy not working, I am not sure how they can even pay the rent. This is going to be a tough few months, but with your help, it will really ease our financial burdens during this stressful time.
I was hoping my mommy could stay at the Ronald McDonald house close by, but if we don't get help, she may have to go back to work 140 miles away and I will be left alone. That makes me very sad to think about.
Please, if you could help my family with a donation and your prayers, that would be so wonderful. Thank you, thank you!
