Wyatts story
Wyatt was born with HLHS a congenital heart defect the required many surgeries to keep him alive. He recievied 2 of the 3 surgeries to fix the HLHS but got sick and had complications making him ineligible for the final surgery. He then required a heart transplant he received his heart June 4th, 2014 at the age of 3. He is now 12 and is in stage 4 kidney failure he was recently relisted on the transplant list. We are hopfull he will receive a kidney soon!
While we are in the waiting period for this transplant we are trying to prepare for this big transition. After the transplant Wyatt will need to stay in Seattle for 3 months to closely monitor his recovery and possible rejection. He has a virus called BK that could be potentially dangerous for his new kidney. We also worry about this surgery complicating his CRPS which is a rare pain disorder that he has been managing with minor relief.
Our hope with this is to possibly raise enough to allow the parents to be able to be with Wyatt and not have to worry about missing work and focus on getting Wyatt as healthy as possible.
Anything raised is going to paying medical needs, food and potentially any bills needed from missing work to support Wyatt.
This is going to be a very stresseful time for our family figuring out how to make everything work and anything from this will help lessen that stress.
