Little Luka Loschiavo
Donation protected
Little Luka was born January 12th with unexpected TEF - E/A. Tracheoesophogeal Fistula - Esophageal Atresia. He had his first
TEF surgery January 13th at just one day old. He was in and out of the PICU for blue spells and his current stay at the PICU he was diagnosed with Tracheomalacia and possibly also has Laryngomalacia. On March 5th he almost went into cardiac arrest so they gave him a trach and g tube and currently he's been in the hospital for a month now. They also found a blood vessel wrapped around his esophagus that will most likely send him to Cincinnati Children's Hospital to repair.
The family will have to buy a new car big enough to hold three car seats and a wagon to transport his breathing machine and equipment every time he leaves the home. They will also have to move apartments so they will be on the first floor and not have to attempt to navigate stairs. This little family also has two other small children under the age of three. With the high cost of daycare and skilled care Luka will require it is simply not feasible for Mom to work outside of the home. Dad works two jobs in order to support the family but is currently on unpaid leave helping take care of his two other children while Mom takes training at hospital to learn how to provide care for little Luka. The parents currently take turns with the little ones at home and staying at the hospital. This sweet family has a long road ahead. Any donation small or large would be greatly appreciated and if are unable to donate this please keep this family in your prayers.
