Baby Edman’s Medical Fund

MY SON, EDMAN LUCAS WAS BORN PREMATURE LAST OCTOBER 6, 2017 THROUGH C-SECTION DURING ON MY 30TH WEEK AND WEIGHS ONLY 1.2KG.

HE WAS TAKEN OUT EARLY BECAUSE HIS BRAIN MIGHT SHUT DOWN ANYTIME DUE TO NOT ENOUGH BLOOD SUPPLY IN MY UMBILICAL ARTERY THAT CONNECTS TO THE BRAIN OF MY BABY. WHEN I WAS JUST STILL ON THE 4TH MONTH OF MY PREGNANCY, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CHRONIC HYPERTENSION WHICH TRIGGERED MY CONDITION TO GET WORSE AND CAUSED MY SEVERE ASTHMA TO ATTACK. MY DOCTORS TAGGED MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY AS A RISKY ONE.

NOW, LUCAS... MY LITTLE ANGEL UNDERWENT SEVERAL BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, PLASMA AND RBC TREATMENTS JUST TO HELP HIM SURVIVE BECAUSE THERE'S A BLEEDING INSIDE HIS TUMMY AND FOR A MOTHER WHO IS SEEING ALL THE SUFFERINGS OF HER CHILD I FEEL SO GUILTY FOR BEING SO HELPLESS, AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS TO PRAY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MY SON'S CONDITION. THE PEDIA INFORMED US, THAT IN ORDER TO INCREASE HIS CHANCES OF SURVIVAL HE MIGHT STAY IN THE INCUBATOR/NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT UNTIL DECEMBER 14, 2017 (WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY MY DUE DATE).

HAVING A PREMATURE BABY IS VERY HARD AND EXPENSIVE. EVERYDAY WE MUST ATLEAST PROVIDE 5,000 PESOS ($100) TO PAY FOR HIS RENTALS (ISOLLETE, INFUSION PUMP, SUCTION, OXYGEN ETC.) AND MEDICATIONS/TREATMENT.
WE ARE HOPING AND PRAYING TO GOD THAT THROUGH THIS POST WE CAN RAISE MONEY TO HELP US IN OUR HOSPITAL BILLS AND MEDICATIONS.

NOW, OUR RUNNING BILL IS ALREADY MORE THAN 70, 000 PESOS ($ 1,373) IN JUST 2WEEKS. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE AROUND $6, 000 OR ABOUT 300,000 PESOS FOR THE HOSPITAL BILLS AND MEDICATIONS.

MY SON IS A FIGHTER AND SO ARE WE, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE, HOPE THAT THROUGH THIS WE CAN REACH OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE WITH A BIG HEART TO HUMBLY HELP US RAISE THE SAID AMOUNT.

YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
