Harper's Medical Journey

Harper Johnston was born on February 15th, 2018 with a rare genetic disorder called Trisomy 18. She was born with several heart defects that is requiring open heart surgery, which is being scheduled sometime after the first of the new year.  Recovery time in the hospital will be about two weeks. Since our home is about an hour away from the hospital, we have been asked by the cardiac surgeon to stay close to the hospital for an additional two weeks just in case anything were to happen. 

We have started this page to help with medical, travel, and living expenses. My husband, Dillon, will be taking a week off from work around surgery day. When he returns to work, he will continue to make the hour drive back to the hospital every day. We greatly appreciate any amount given and we thank you for your donation. 

Even though we know heart surgery will not "cure or fix" Harper, we will have a lifetime of doctor and therapy appointments and possibly more hospital admissions. This page will remain open to help with future expenses: medical bills, traveling to appointments, hospital stays, etc.

If you would like to learn more about Harper or stay up-to-date on her journey, follow her Facebook page. We also have a blog with more information.

Again, we greatly appreciate and thank you for your donation.
