Help Saylor, Emily, and Baby Charlie in this critical time

Saylor and Emily recently welcomed their precious baby boy, Charlie Elliot, into the world. His arrival has been a blessing, but Charlie’s journey has been marked by profound and unexpected challenges.

Charlie’s Story

During the third trimester of pregnancy, Saylor and Emily received heartbreaking news: Charlie was diagnosed with multiple abnormalities that would require specialized care.

Charlie was born with a cleft palate and pulmonary atresia, a severe congenital heart defect that affects blood flow from the heart to the lungs. He also has brain abnormalities, including Dandy-Walker malformation, which impacts the development of the cerebellum, and a recessed jaw, making it difficult for him to swallow and breathe. Since birth, Charlie has been in the NICU, receiving the dedicated care he needs to survive and grow.

Initially, doctors believed Charlie might need surgery within the next 4–6 months. Tragically, they now fear surgery may not be possible. Determined to explore every option for their son, Saylor and Emily have sought a second opinion, which is scheduled for next week. While the future remains uncertain, they are holding on to hope and focusing on providing the best care possible for Charlie.
