My little fighter Tysons health journey

Given by 20 generous donors in over a year

My 3 year old son has underlying health conditions that requires ongoing medical care.

West Coast

My son is 3 nearly 4 and we have had ongoing health issues since he was 3 days old we have had 12 operations so far he has lung problems and respiratory problems . Tyson is on nebulized inhaled antibiotics but hates it. he has been on antibiotics his hole life threw oral and picc line.We have just had a portacath instilled in December It's very stressful because his treatment is usually based in Christchurch hospital and we have to travel frequently over there to his appointments and procedures from greymouth. Were trailing treatment starting in greymouth hospital shortly.I also have a 7 year old daughter who dosnt get to come all the time so I have to support her and us while living in 2 places when I go over. This is ongoing and is becoming more regular my son has 3 different types of bacteria in his lungs and has been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Tyson will be on iv antibiotics every 3 months for 2 weeks at a time hopefully this can now be done in greymouth hospital with some luck. I am struggling with everything for myself and my son and it's taking everything I have to offer him out of me. I'm exhausted and just want things to be normal again. My son has developed a huge fear for hospital's and is very traumatized of treatment rooms. We struggle to get anything oral into him. The money used from this fundraiser would go towards all our required costs such as fuel to help with his care and support. To support my daughter at home while we're away in any hospital and to get my son a treat that he can enjoy and treasure to brighten up his day. This is one of the hardest things I have ever done by setting up this page. Please read my story. I am also unable to return to my full time employment due to a car accident in 2018 and tysons health problems. I can't afford to pull my daughter out of school either and when we have to go we usually have to up and leave pretty quick. It has been a very hard experience that I've had to travel threw. If tysons portacath moves or stops working hes straight back to theater.Any help would be really appreciated to lighten my load abit. Thankyou for reading our story
