Support Baby Eli's NICU Journey

Our little warrior, Baby Eli, made an early entrance into the world on September 8th, 2024, arriving 13 weeks ahead of schedule. Born at just 27 weeks, Baby Eli’s journey has already been filled with resilience and strength as he remains in the NICU, growing and fighting each day.

My pregnancy was marked by complications early on. At 26 weeks, I was classified as high-risk due to a history of preeclampsia in my previous pregnancies. After my blood pressure spiked, I was admitted to the hospital, where doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to stabilize my condition. Despite medications and IVs, my symptoms persisted, including frequent vomiting, and I underwent various tests to monitor for protein levels and other risk factors.

At 27 weeks, my blood pressure reached dangerously high levels that couldn’t be controlled by medications or IVs. I was airlifted to a specialized hospital in Phoenix, where the incredible medical team did everything possible to manage my condition. Unfortunately, my health continued to decline, leading to an emergency C-section to ensure Baby Eli’s and my safety.

Since Baby Eli’s birth, friends and family have reached out, asking how they can help our family of five. After much thought, we felt it would be best to share our story here. The emotional and financial challenges of traveling back and forth. As well as the expenses of food, gas, and medical care for our family have added to the burden during this critical time. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support we’ve already received, and any assistance would be a tremendous help as we focus on Baby Eli’s journey to health.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us. May God bless you for your kindness and generosity.
