Getting close to Christmas having a sick wee boy has been financially crippling on our young family we are in need of some urgent support.
Otago
The last 12 months have been very tough on our family physically, mentally and emotionally. On the 3rd of December 2018 our then 23 month old son Connor was rushed to Starship Hospital with a serious heart condition requiring a pacemaker to be installed then 10 days later rushed back up with complications. While I was in Auckland , my wife Sarah was at home in Dunedin with our newborn baby Cooper who at day 4 stopped breathing and was admitted into NICU. The next 11 months has ticked along nicely like a busy family does. Fast Forward to 28 November 2019 and Cooper again starts having events of stopped breathing and losing consciousness and is admitted in Dunedin Hospital, the last 2 weeks have been hell on our family . The latest 2 episodes have been the worse with the length of events being between 2-2 1/2 minutes. Heart tracing have shown his heart is slowing to 40 beats a minute and turns blue and most likely ending up flying to Starship Hospital in the coming days.
Funds will be used to assistant us in any shortfall for flights for second parent to get to Auckland, loss of wages as we both have had to take time off work without pay, any other costs involved in being away from our home town for a period of time.
Surgery day has come 20 May 2020
Cooper had surgery for his pacemaker on 19 May 2020 and came through it ok, a couple of post op issues but appears fine now. The money raised had made a huge impact to being able to support ourselves being so far away from home.
