Walking With Walt

4/15/2021 Update:
The Russell’s have now been in Boston for 1 month. Walt’s case was unique because he had acongenital stricture that they had to cut out. He is currently undergoing Foker 1, and after a second procedure is under partial external and internal traction. He will be sedated and paralyzed until the repair which could be a couple of weeks.

They expect to be in Boston 8-12 more weeks.Thank you for all of your continued support and prayers!

Walton Joseph Russell was born to Maycee and Bolton Russell on February 7, 2021 at 36 weeks and 4 days. He weighed in at 5 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches. Walt was born with Long Gap Esophageal Atresia (LGEA) which is a gap between two esophagus pieces, preventing food from passing to the stomach. Bolton and Maycee are working to get Walt transferred to Boston Children’s Esophageal and Airway Treatment Center for him to receive the best care possible. 

Donations will be used towards food and gas while we are going back and forth to NICU, as well as costs associated with getting to and being in Boston. They are unsure how many months we could be up there. 

If you feel called, donations will ease this process for the parents of precious Walton!
