Support for Baby Warren & the Olivares Family!

Warren Matthew Olivares was born on 7/6/2022 at Carson Tahoe hospital. He was born at 35 weeks 6 days after Tess (mom) had been on bed rest after going into premature labor at 23 weeks. Warren did great on his first day of life. It was filled with lots of love and snuggles. Shortly after birth, he was experiencing glucose problems, so he was started on an IV and was stabilized. Unfortunately, 24 hours after birth, Warren stopped breathing in Matt’s (dad) hands while doing routine blood work. He was rushed to the newborn nursery and resuscitated twice. It was at this point the decision was made to transfer him to Renown Regional medical center. For the next 26 days of Warrens life, the Neonatal intensive care unit at Renown was his home. He underwent all kinds of tests: head ultrasounds, MRIs, EEGs, x-rays, and echos. During this extensive testing, it was found that he had two brain bleeds. One being a little worse than the other. As a result of these bleeds, he was also experiencing seizures. Medications were given, and he was watched like a hawk by the caring nurses and doctors of the NICU. With their help and the constant support of his parents, he started making progress. Eventually passing all of his NICU milestones, he could finally come home on August 2nd, 2022. During this time in the NICU, Matt was unable to work as he was spending all of his time at Warren’s side. Tess has been unable to work since she was put on bed rest in April. Although they have insurance that helped cover the costs of this lengthy NICU stay, they are receiving bills in the tens of thousands. Warren will require specialty appointments with neurology and cardiology for the foreseeable future. These doctors are located at UC Davis. If you can, please donate what you can to help offset some of these costs during this troubling time and the medical bills that will come in the future. Thank you.
