Johnse's NICU Stay :Part 2

Donation protected



        Dave, Shari and Family are so happy baby Johnse is here! Unfortunately the little guy got a rough start getting pneumonia right after birth. This has made it hard for him to breathe and eat on his own. He has been in the NICU at Maine Medical Center for the past 20 days. He has oxygen and feeding tubes to help his tiny lungs and heart breathe at a normal rate. He is small but tough! Getting lots of love from Mom and Dad and antibiotics, his pneumonia is gone! However he may have a more complicated lung condition than anticipated and his hospital stay and recovery may be even longer than expected.  
       This GoFundMe is to help Dave, Shari & Johnse with their monthly expenses and give Dave & Shari as much time with Johnse as possible. They had planned for 3 weeks maternity leave at home as a family, but their 3 weeks are up and Johnse is not ready to go home and needs some extra support. Dave and Shari have been by Johnse's side day and night and were able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House next to Maine Med. for 2 weeks but are now commuting from home (Poland, Me) everyday. 
       Dave & Shari are two of the most genuine, kind and deserving people I know. They would do anything to help friends and family, but would never ask for help themselves. To have a child in the hospital is hard enough, they shouldn't have to stress about money for necessities. They love being with Johnse every second that they can and need our help to be there to give him the extra love, snuggles and support he needs. I am asking for any help you can give their new family. Any amount will help Dave, Shari & Johnse get through this hard time and will be greatly appreciated. Dave and Shari are so thankful for all the Love, Well Wishes, Prayers, Dinner Deliveries and Support they have been receiving while caring for Johnse. We will keep you updated on Johnse's condition and recovery, Thank You All So Much.
