Help support baby Owen
Donation protected
My family is asking for some support in a very difficult time. My cousins baby boy was born on October 4th at Rome Memorial Hospital weighing in at 7 pounds. Everything seemed to be ok with his health until the next morning. His oxygen levels started to drop and he was transferred to Upstate hospital right to the Nicu. Upon further testing the doctors diagnosed baby Owen with TGA, (transposition of the great arteries). It is a heart defect in which his arteries are backwards. He will be transferred sometime within the next week out to Rochester to undergo a surgery to correct his heart. We are not sure how long he will have to be in Rochester after his surgery for recovery, but the doctors are guessing a few weeks. Anyone that can help make a donation to his parents will be greatly appreciated as they will have traveling expenses, childcare expenses for their other two children, and they will both be out of work for a while.
