Hi everyone, Im Kay Freeman Lavelle, and I’m asking for my nephews family.Their name is Matt and Holly Freeman, they had a newborn Lucas, November 27, 2023. On his first week check up He was diagnosed with SMA, Spinal muscular Atrophy at UVA. So they where making plans to treat him.
But Christmas Eve Lucas stop breathing they done CPR and sent him to Abingdon hospital. Where they later sent him to UVA Med flight. Where they found out he has RSV. They put him on a Cpap but had to change to breathing tubes today.
They have 2 other sons, and trying to stay with Lukas at UVA. So he will have to stay in hospital for up to a month or more. Matt is the only one working, so they need help with trying to stay at UVA with Lucas as long as they can. They will be coming home and back to UVA. This family of 5 really need some help! If you can help we appreciate all you can do. God bless you all.
Update:::
Baby Lucas is now on breathing tubes. He was not getting enough oxygen. Today December 30, they’re starting to treat him for MSA. They had to put it off till he felt better. But the doctor wanted to get him started now! He has been a sick boy! The family travels from Saltville Va to UVA. Matt is going back to work, with their other 2 boys. But Holly is staying with Lucas. Thanks for your kindness!
