Support the Quezada Family
Donation protected
Hey people,
As some of you know and as none of you know - Lauren was being monitored for a heart condition prior to deliverying new baby Alma. She was considered a high risk pregnancy and was carefully walked through her pregnancy and delivery with a fantastic midwife and obgyn team. She successfully delivered baby girl Alma Birgitta on Sept 24th and appeared to doing really well. She was discharged from the hospital two days post birth. The following morning Lauren experienced heaviness in her chest and difficulty breathing. The new fam headed back to emerge (thank goodness) and it was confirmed that her accending aorta was dissecting (very bad and what she had been monitored for).
Lauren is currently in surgery at Vancouver General Hospital where she is undergoing a procedure where they will hopefully spare her valve and replace a section of her aorta with an artificial tube. This will be a 6-12 hour procedure and she will require multiple blood transfusions throughout. This is scary and a lot... But will hopefully go smoothly. Please pray.
Now - if you know Lauren and Josue, you know two people who give generously, love fiercely and support others without a second thought. This procedure is a huge setback when it comes to acclimatizing to life as a new family as Lauren will be hospitalized for an extended period of time and unable breastfeed or lift anything. Josue will be juggling supporting her, caring for Alma and managing life things. Emotionally, physically, mentally... This will be tough. They need support. They are surrounded by family and friends but a huge way we can shroud them in love is to take some financial strain off of these two marvellous individuals. Please consider donating - I have not set a limit to this fund as anything is appreciated (limit may be set later).
Monetary donations will go towards:
Formula (Lauren can no longer breastfeed)
Ordering food
Groceries
Hospital Parking
Transport
Living expenses
Survival expenses that I haven’t thought of
I will be updating this page as I receive more information - please share like it’s hot - share, share, share.
Much love,
Logan
