Baby Alex's Medical Bills Need Your Support
Donation protected
My name is Brittany. I am a mom of 3, wife, and volunteer firefighter. In November of 2023, we were surprised to find out I was expecting our third child. There were complications during pregnancy that put me at an increased risk of preeclampsia.
On July 11, 2024, I was admitted to the hospital with a pulse rate of 48 and a blood pressure of 190/80. I was immediately induced, and Alexander Aurelius was born on July 12, 2024. After a seemingly healthy discharge from the hospital, 12 hours later, Alex was admitted to the NICU with sepsis/meningitis. During treatment, Alex also suffered from an SVT episode where his heart rate peaked at 300 beats per minute.
Alex was not insured during this time, and we have incurred the expense. Anything will help with these medical bills.
Alex Update: Alex is now a healthy 6-month-old baby who loves to smile at everyone he meets.
