Noa's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
Sweet Baby Noa was just born on March 8, 2016 and has already had quite a few medical setbacks. From birth, Noa had a hard time keeping anything down after eating and the doctors said it was normal. As the days went by, the vomiting increased and became projectile. After days of not being able to hold anything down after eating, she was admitted to Children's Hospital. After numerous tests and scans, they found a blockage from her stomach to her small intestine. The blockage caused her to be severely dehydrated and she lost 17% of her birth weight. Along with being put on an IV and feeding tube, she also had to be under blue light therapy for her not-so-steady blood work.
At 13 days old, she went in for surgery and they found more issues. On top of fixing the blockage from her stomach to small intestine, they had to correct the malrotation of her bowels and intestine and they removed her appendix.
Noa is looking at a 4+ week hospital stay. That, plus the ER visit, all of the tests and scans done, all of the IVs and the feeding tube, and the surgery is going to add up to a hefty hospital bill.
I'm asking for help for my family. Anything helps. Whether is just $1 or a prayer, everything is greatly appreciated.
