Mending Baby Bella's Heart
Donation protected
Sweet little Bella was born on 12/06/2016 weighing in at 5lbs 13oz. She was born with this beaming smile that can bring a smile to your face in a instant. Little Bella was born a instant heartbreaker but she was also born with a broken heart.
Bella was born with a congenital heart defect called tetralogy of the fallot. Tetralogy of the fallot is a rare, complex heart defect that occurs in about 5 out of every 10,000 babies. It affects boys and girls equally. It involves four heart defects...
-a large ventricular septal defect
-pulmonary stenosis
-right ventricular hypertrophy
-an overriding aorta
Together, these four defects mean that not enough blood is able to reach the lungs to get oxygen, and oxygen-poor blood flows out to the body.
Baby Bella underwent a scary 13 hour surgery to repair her tiny heart. It included 3 rounds of bypass and 3 blood transfusions. This little lady has the fight of a lion in her and has come out fighting and has just been released from the hospital after 3 weeks to come home and continue her journey of healing.
We are hoping to raise money to help with medical bills that will be coming in, help with regular bills so Matt and Laura do not have to stress so much about whether or not the will be able to make ends meet while she is recovering. It would be nice to relieve at least some of the stress from them so they can focus on giving this beautiful little girl the attention and love she needs to heal. Every baby is a gift to the world and When you see Bella's smile you know we are truly blessed to have her as a part of this world. Thank you in advance for any donation you can make big or small.
