Nothing in this world prepares you for the heartbreak of leaving the hospital with empty arms, leaving your newborn baby behind. The emotional toll of the last few days has completely shattered us.
Our sweet baby boy, Lincoln, was born via a scheduled C-section at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension. He immediately suffered severe breathing complications from pulmonary hypertension and had to be CareFlighted to Children’s Medical Center Dallas. While he is currently stable, his condition changes by the hour, anything can happen however I remain hopeful his little self is fighting for a full recovery.
We live 38 miles away from the hospital. I am freshly postpartum with zero income, and Lincoln’s dad’s income barely covers our basic rent. We are already facing severe financial hardships just trying to stay by our son's side. We have less than $60 to our name, no emergency fund, and our family car is on the cusp of repossession.
Because Lincoln's condition changes hourly, his dad is facing severe limitations to his work schedule in the coming days, weeks, and potentially months. He cannot work his normal hours while helping our family navigate this crisis, meaning the tiny income we did rely on is now drastically cut.
Being close to Lincoln means everything to us right now. He needs his mother’s touch, his mother's voice, and all the support by his side. I refuse to let our financial crisis keep us from being the parents he desperately needs during the hardest fight of his life.
On top of staying by Lincoln's bedside, it is incredibly important to me that I still provide for and be there for my 7-year-old son the best I can during this time. This is a terrifying experience for him too, and trying to balance the needs of my newborn in the NICU while ensuring my older son feels safe, supported, and loved has stretched our family to the absolute limit.
If you have been a NICU parent, or if you can find it in your heart to help my family in this severe crisis, please consider donating $5 or $10 to help us save our car, keep rent paid, continue to provide for my 7 year old during these arrangements and cover basic lodging/food so we don't have to leave his bedside. Even just sharing our link means the world to us. Thank you so much.
