In times of crisis, hope and support are crucial lifelines. James is bravely fighting for his health after undergoing emergency surgery for a VP shunt while on vacation in Tennessee. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he has faced multiple challenges, including two serious CSF infections. His battle is long and ongoing, with 16 surgeries already and now two more brain infections to contend with. James remains in the hospital, facing not only a physically arduous road to recovery but also the mounting financial burden of medical bills. The costs from Tennessee are arriving, and with no work due to James' hospitalization, the strain of keeping up with everyday expenses from home is becoming overwhelming. Your compassion can make a significant difference. Each donation will provide critical support, enabling focus on what truly matters—James' healing journey. Your generosity will alleviate the stress of financial worries, allowing more energy and resources to be directed to James' recovery. We humbly ask for your prayers for James' health and, if your heart leads you, any financial assistance you can offer during this incredibly trying time. Your kindness and support mean the world to us. Thank you for standing by James and our family in this moment of need.

James is back in the hospital. Finally someone listened and did an MRI. The findings are not what I wanted to hear. His brain is swelling and he has so many cysts in his brain. I was told to worry about quality of life now.
He is back on high doses of steriods and lots of medicines to try and control the neurostorming.
Please continue to pray for James! I want a miracle and the cysts to resolve.
I appreciate all your love and support!

James was hospitalized again but is out now. He keeps neurostorming. He gets uncomfortable and it sets it off. The past 2 nights have been rough.
He got a new car seat not too long ago but it still doesn't work for him. I think the Special Tomato Booster seat would work better for him and it is around $1000.
I am trying to get him the Cubby be. All 3 Insurances denied it already and so did IRC. I have started the process again. I pray it works this time. I will have to pay for the upgraded mattress and that is $1265 before tax for the mattress and protective cover. The protective cover is important when you have a child in diapers because they leak.
Thank you all for your love and support!

James is being admitted again for IV antibiotics for the skin infection. There are no oral antibiotics to treat it. Please keep praying for James! The past 8 months have been really rough. I am grateful to the doctors that do listen and help me get James the proper care. I am grateful for my mama intuition that leads me down the right path to get James the right care.
I appreciate all your donations. I could not pay my bills without your help because I only worked 4.5 months last year and this is the 3rd admission this year.

James is still having a hard time. He has spent a week this month inpatient. He has a skin infection from the steriod wean. We are holding on the wean at the moment.
Thank you all for your prayers and support! Things are still rough and running around cost alot. We both appreciate everyone!

James has come a long way. He finally got his second shunt placed on Thursday. Now medicines need to be changed to gtube. They need to do another MRI to make sure his brain is not swelling after the change. We are getting closer to being home.
He will be on long term antibiotics and steriods. This is new for us but I am praying James does well. He is getting closer to getting to go home.
James will have lots of follow up appointments and many new specialists after discharge.
Bills are becoming due again. I haven't worked in a long while. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. I hate to even ask but don't want to lose our home or car. I appreciate each and everyone for all your prayers and financial support. You all have kept us afloat during this very difficult time.
Please continue to pray for us! James still needs prayers.
