Josiah's Warriors
Donation protected
Josiah John Salazar was born December 21, 2016 in Christus Spohn Hospital in Alice, Tx at 3:39pm to Amanda and John Salazar. Shortly after his birth, the medical staff noticed an odd sound to his cry and that his breathing was labored. He was taken to a recovery nursery for testing when they discovered a white haze in his right lung via xray. He was immediately prepared and taken by life flight to Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Tx. Mommy is unable to see him until she is discharged from her hospital (likely 12/22). Daddy is waiting by Josiah's side in the NICU for an unforseable amount of time. It is being determined what medical Avenue to take for him. He is still having difficulty breathing and feeding. I wanted to set this up for updates, photos, and to help alleviate the financial stress of food expenses, medical bills, accommodations, and gas for the already exhausted parents of this little fighter.
