Please help get a family through this tough time as they struggle to understand what's wrong with there new born baby boy ihaka

Wellington

Hello

My names Ihaka. I was born on late thursday night well Friday morning. I was born breach and by ciscerean I didn't come out as easily as I should of and have suffered oxygen shortage to my brain."I swallowed quite a bit of maconium and been on antibiotics for that" while i was being born i had no oxygen for a decent amount of time and went a little blue and needed help to breath...i am now breathing on my own but there maybe damage to my brain which is why i am still here in nicu being monitored and tested: I havnt been diagnosed with any illness or condition although something is clearly wrong. me and my family are hopeing for is a little help so that we can pay the rent and power etc as my dad is a contractor and unfortunately doesn't have a nest egg my two older brothers (3 nd 4) love kindy and want to stick to there routein while my mum stays at the ronal mcdonald house so shes close to me and can provide milk for me were praying that this is only temporary and only want to get by while we have no idea what's going on.
