Lexi and Mila are two tiny twins who stop breathing daily and need life changing surgery on 20 December.
Canterbury
Lexi and Mila were born prematurely in April 2017. Since their birth they have suffered immensely from reflux. After several Doctors visits, medications and changes, it has never subsided. On October 20th Lexi choked on her reflux which caused her to stop breathing. Paramedics were called, and we are very blessed she is still here with us today. Since that incident, both Lexi and Mila have been having daily reoccurring episodes were their breathing is jeopardised. It’s a very stressful and anxious time for everyone. Both Lexi and Mila are under a Specialist and were undergoing surgery on the 20th December to insure this never happens again. They both will have a 3 hour surgery each, and willl most likely still be in hospital over the Christmas period.
Today Megan (Lexi and Mila’s Mum) found out that insurance have declined this claim leaving them with a $35,000 bill to pay or cancel the operation and join the public waiting list, which could take months. As you can imagine, this is extremely heartbreaking, stressful and life threatening. Please help us raise money to insure that the twins can have this surgery as planned and that they can have an amazing and safe first Christmas - and many more to follow.
