Baby Dodger Medical Bills and Funeral Expense

Donation protected
Saturday night (October 13, 2018) my grandson, Dodger William, who was born September 17, 2018, started to have none stop seizures and running a temperature. He was taken to the hospital where the diagnosis was meningitis. Unable to stop the seizures he (and Mom) were life flighted to St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings, MT with Dad following in their vehicle.  On Sunday the hospital there finally, after trying different medications, got the seizures everything but stopped but he was on oxygen and still had a temperature. Yesterday we thought we were almost out of the woods as they did an EEG and it showed no signs of seizures and/or any brain damage and his temperature was down to 98.7° and he was breathing a little better.  Last night the seizures started again, he was put back on oxygen after his numbers dropped and he quit breathing and his temperature has now dropped below normal. WHY? We do not know as of yet today. The hospital is doing another spinal tap as I write this and they also drew more blood to start, as the Dr. said, "run every test we know to figure it out" as they are now not 100% sure that it is meningitis. The hospital has said that transferring Dodger to Salt Lake City, UT is a possibility. On top of this, some time between 1:00 am and 7:00 am Monday morning their vehicle which, was parked in the hospital parking lot, was broken into and trashed and tore up on the inside adding more immediate expense. As of right now, we have no idea how long Dodger is going to be in Billings or if he will be sent to Salt Lake City, UT. Funds are very low and almost next to none. Dad wants to stay at the hospital with his son but also needs to get home and get back to work.  My daughter  has made arrangements to stay right there at the hospital with Dodget but there are still expenses involved plus, there are 2 other siblings in the home who need to be cared for. Any donation amount to help them thru this would be so very much appreciated. Thank you so much!
