Lindsey Bronkhorst hasn't added a story.
I have created a donations page to help my sister and her
family through this very difficult time. She gave birth to a beautiful
baby girl April 4th 2014 at 3:15pm. Unfortunately things did not go as
well as we had all prayed and hoped it would and there were major
complications with the birth. She was in labor for an exhausting 3
days starting since that wed morning. When the baby was finally born
she was not breathing and the Drs tell us that we were literally
seconds away from losing her. She had aspirated a large amount of
Whitney's blood into her lungs causing what is like a chemical burn. I
thank the lord every second for the Medstar employees from the
ambulance that were there to save my wonderful niece with an
intubation tube and a ventilator. She was rushed over to Deaconess
NICU where they have been taking amazing care of her. She is still
currently in critical condition at this point but is progressing at a
beautiful rate. The Drs state they are amazed at what a fighter she is
cause she was considered that 2nd sickest baby in the ICU when she was
admitted. Already today they are talking about starting to ween her
off of the ventilator and meds that are helping her survive. They are
hoping to only have to keep her in the ICU for around 7 days, but
states it may take up to a couple weeks for her to build her stamina
up enough to completely take her off of the IVs and respirators.
The reason I created this page was mainly to help keep all
family and friends informed and continuously updated on her condition.
Also my sister Whitney has unfortunately ran into some financial
issues previous to this and now her and Tony (the father) have been
out of work this whole week and will continue to stay at their
daughters side at the ICU to give her the continued support she needs
until she is healthy enough to come home. We are hoping by reaching
out to our family and friends that we may be able to raise enough
money to help her at least meet the requirements to pay her bills for
this month. Any and all help received would be greatly appreciated and
we thank you for your support and words of hope and encouragement
during this time when it matters most. We will continue to keep you
updated on this site on how she is progressing. Please feel free to
share this story with any of your loved ones!
Because of the exhausting and overwhelming situation for both
Whitney and Tony they are not currently excepting calls or texts at
this time. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please
contact her sister Lindsey or leave a comment on this site. Thank you.
