Freya Petker vs. The Sepsis Infection

Freya is fearless.  She is also funny, thoughtful, feisty, and kind. And right now she is very very sick. Freya has a strep infection in her blood, which is quite serious. We're looking to raise $7500 to help offset her parent's lost income and her medical bills. On Friday Nov. 15, it looked like it was a regular kid sickness. Her dad Kevin stayed home to take care of her.
On Sunday, it was clear this was Not a Regular Sickness, and her parents took her to the hospital. On Monday, her mom Danielle sat by her bedside  while Kevin took her big brother Seb to school. Then her parents traded off through out the day. All day. And all night. All week. Danielle has missed work, Kevin has missed work, and the tests and procedures keep coming:

Nov 17: "They have her sedated and on IV antibiotics; still some oddities they're investigating, but the support team seems positive."

Nov 18: "She's greatly improved, but there are still some things they team wants to investigate."

Nov 19: "Fever spike and elevated heart rate mean another blood panel and another night in ICU. She also took some kidney damage from the sepsis so they're monitoring that too. She's full of spite and fire though, so that's good."

Nov 20: "Rough night on the Freya front: they had to put her on oxygen for a bit as she seems to have a viral lung infection in addition to everything else. *sigh* Her spirit level: Fighty! Breakfast: Chocolate chip muffin."

Nov 21: "So, a fever presented when they took her off Tylenol so no PICC line, but a different IV. She's going to need to be on an antibiotic protocol for two weeks. Some concern about fluid retention in one leg. *sigh* She's super-brave."

Folks, Freya is a fighter, and right now she's fighting sepsis. Let's be the ones who help. Let's give the Petker family a little breathing room and let them focus on taking care of her and each other. Please donate, please share this page, and thank you.
