Mackenzie’s Recovery

This beautiful little girl was recently diagnosed with Hydrocephalus and Chiari Type 2

Hydrocephalus or Congenital Hydrocephalus often referred to as “water in the brain”, is in fact an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid.The most common treatment for Hydrocephalus is placement of a shunt in the brain.However, blockage/obstruction caused by metabolic waste, is a frequent problem associated with the Cerebral Shunt in the correction of Congenital Hydrocephalus. As a result, pediatric patients go through several reversal of shunt procedures and repetitive surgeries during their lifetime. This pain and suffering is accompanied with immense physical and emotional trauma, high risks for infections and heavy financial burdens at each such procedure.

This little girl was my beautiful flower girl in my wedding. She has had 3 surgeries on her brain in the last 5 days. She is fighting so hard to recover and heal. Recovery time will be a minimum of 12 weeks. We are trying to raise money to cover her families needs/ meals for the next 12-16 weeks as they also have 5 other kids at home to take care of.

Please consider donating to help her family and Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
