St Christopher Fund is currently helping a family who’s child was born critically ill. Her father is a professional driver who has had to come off the road to be near his baby girl. Below is their story.
Ava is our 1st child. She’s two months 14 days old. She was born full term, very sick. It was unexpected. We are holding up. We are not home from the hospital. Our Ronald McDonald stay is up so we are back to our commute, 90 milis a day to see Ava. She’s at Blythedale Children’s Hospital for rehabilitation, working with her muscular tone and bottle feeding. She has a g-tube but is taking the bottle slowly. Ava’s next surgery is in July which is for the craniosynostos. Her skull fused too early and it’s putting pressure on her brain. Since her last surgery was rough, the doctors are prepping us for the worst. There is talk of getting Ava home in a week or two to enjoy a few weeks at home before the surgery, Ava is great today. She is starting to move her head more and more. We have faith in God.
Doug is looking for work but is having a hard time finding something flexible. Doug is trying to stay local to find a job. You guys helped out with our rent. We are working out June rent, and all the other bills.
It’s hard but we have faith and it’s the best to get through this. Thank you for looking out for us. Thank you for the prayers. Thank you for everything. #teamavastrong
