Medical & Living Expenses for Steven
Hi, I am Jennifer a mother of 3 beautiful kids. My middle child who is Steven Anthony has battle this life since birth. He has had 36 surgeries along with one major triple organ transplant. The liver, small bowel, and his pancreas. His spleen was removed along with portion of his stomach and colon. Since his transplant which was in 2010, he has not had any complications. He has had minor set backs but nothing major like this before. He is in the PICU and has been since 8/26/17. During hurricane Harvey. His liver is very inlarged and his belly is distended. He has alot of lesions on his liver. The doctors are saying it can be lymphoma. Now they are in the process of doing a CT scan of his brain to make sure no lesions are there. His transplant team has requested to have him transported out to Omaha Nebraska due to the horrific storm and low staff at the hospital. And as you all know our city is under water. But I am asking for all my family and friends to help out. No matter how much. Anything will be enough. We need help to cover his medical expenses and for the trip we are about to make. He doesn't receive medicaid so most of this will be coming out of my pocket. And now with my son in the hospital. I don't know how income will be rolling in. I promise I will forever be thankful for the small help you can do to help us. I don't ever ask for anything but I am in desperate need. I thank you all for reading my story of my son and for helping. God bless you all
Update on Steven. 8/31/17
Steven is in the ICU in Nebraska now. He is sedated. I've been told he has numerous of tumors in his liver. He has fluid in and around his lungs and major organs. He was in surgery for chest tubes to drain the fluid out. They weren't left in. They have also placed a dialysis tube line for dialysis. He is having liver and kidney failure. He has a what they think is a clog and hoping not a tumor on his heart. The days are passing and he is getting sicker. I'm praying for a miracle. He will start chemotherapy after they get him feeling better. Again. I thank you all for the little you can for my son. God bless you all. You all are my special angels.
We still don't know how long we will be here. All I know is that it will be for months
