Baby Baker's Medical Bills
Donation protected
Baker has had a tough couple first months of life, and we'd like to raise money to help Brock and Taryn cover medical bills while their little guy is fighting. Anything you can give is so, so appreciated! Below is an update from Taryn.
“Around 3 weeks old we noticed Baker struggling to gain weight. Over the last month we have spent 12 nights in the hospital and traveled back and forth to Fargo to be seen by pediatric specialists. He was temporarily put on an NG feeding tube to help supplement his feeds to help him gain weight. We found out that due to underdeveloped stomach and esophagus muscles he is unable to keep large volumes of food in his stomach. Because of this, doctors determined it was not safe or sustainable for him to feed from a bottle. On October 27th he underwent a surgery to put a more permanent feeding tube, a G-tube, directly into his stomach. This will help feed him smaller amounts continuously throughout the day. On October 31st, he stopped breathing for a much longer amount of time ever before and we once again have returned to the hospital.”
