Support Locklynn's Fight for Life

Hello everyone, my name is Bethany and I am the aunt of Locklynn. I’m creating this GoFundMe with permission from Locklynn’s parents, Haley and Brad.

Locklynn is 4 years old, a strong-willed, feisty little girl with so much life in her. She’s always so happy and lovable, and everything has to be her way. Locklynn tested positive for flu A on Friday the 21st, and on the morning of Monday, February 24, the unthinkable happened. Locklynn collapsed getting up to use the restroom around 4 am and went unresponsive. Her mom did CPR with the help of Brad's sister while her dad rushed her to the hospital. Upon entering the hospital in Chillicothe, Locklynn had coded and went into cardiac arrest, a parent's worst fear hearing a flat line on the hospital’s machines. The hospital worked on her and finally got her heart beating after a couple of minutes, which felt like a lifetime to Haley and Brad. Adena got her on a vent and immediately called for life flight, where she was then life-flighted to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.

Due to the results of all this, Locklynn is in a coma fighting for her life on life support. At this time, we have no answers yet, and she still has a long road of recovery ahead of her.

We are asking for prayers and any type of donations possible to help ease the mind of Haley and Brad with bills while out of work and at the hospital away from home and their other children while focused on their baby girl, Locklynn.

Locklynn is so loved by so many, and she has an army behind her. Let’s support Haley and Brad in this time so they have less to worry about and have more time to be bedside with their daughter.

Hi everyone I wanted to share an update on locklynns condition. Yesterday on Thursday February 27, 2025 we received horrible news,

Locklynns MRI results have come back, unfortunately due to the cardiac arrest, when she stopped breathing her Brain stopped receiving oxygen and due to this locklynn has a severe deep brain injury that will affect her for the rest of her life. We where told she would never walk again , she would never be able to eat on her own again, never be able to talk again never be able to play again with her sisters, Brother or cousins, that the locklynn we once knew is no longer, that we would have to adapt to new things and new ways for her.

she still has a long road of recovery to be able to get stable to even be able to leave the hospital and come home.

We have updated the goal so Haley and Brad can have extra funds to make their house wheelchair accessible, and also be able to get a wheelchair accessible vehicle, along with other medical equipment that’s going to be needed.

Again we are still asking for prayers and any donations possible to help ease the mind of Haley and Brad durning this difficult time.

She is still awake but with many struggles ahead of her to a full road of recovery, we still have no expected discharge date as of now. We continue to thank the community who has rallied together for locklynn and her parents. Again any prayers and donations are appreciated while Brad and Haley figure out the new way of life for their now disabled daughter. While they prepare their home to be wheelchair accessible and figure out how to get a wheel chair accessible van .

Unfortunately last night didn’t go as planned and locklynn was struggling to breathe on her own so the vent was placed back in. 

Please continue to pray for locklynn and her family as we was hopeful she could remain off the vent, but that is just not possible right now.
