Help while our son is in the hospital

Hello, my name is Anneliesse and I am the mom of a strong and amazing three month old boy named Elliott. Elliott was diagnosed with a complicated cardiac diagnosis at only 22 weeks gestation. His diagnosis being Pulmonary Atresia with MAPCAS and a VSD. Simply stated his body didn’t create the correct vessels to take blood to his lungs. This meaning Elliott will eventually need two surgeries to correct this diagnosis, if not more. Elliott did amazing when he was born with saturations in the high 90s, but within only a few short months we have ended up in the hospital barely maintaining oxygen saturations in the 60s when he eats, cries, and plays. At this point we will be in the hospital to be monitored until Elliott is able to receive his corrective surgeries since he is not stable enough to be sent home on oxygen. This fundraiser is to help keep our family afloat so we are able to be with our some over his next few months in the Pediatric ICU. We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the support we have received over the last few months, and continue to receive through these hard times.

Update:

Just want to update everyone. On Tuesday our son went into his first open heart surgery. The doctors came back and told us the operation went well that there wasn’t any hiccups or issues and that he was doing well and on his way to recovery. Tuesday night about 8:30 our son let out a cry and immediately went into cardiac arrest. The doctors are uncertain what caused it but they suspect that the surgery was just to much on his little body. He went 13 minutes receiving CPR before they finally were able to get a stable heart beat back. He’s currently on a ventilator and still has a chest tube at this time. For now he’s again stable but the next coming days will be tough on him. I ask that everyone continue sending their prayers to my son and my family as we deal with this. This little boy is the strongest I’ve ever seen and we’re standing by him through thick and thin.
