Tatiana Barboza Jarrell hasn't added a story.
Our Baby Boy Troy was born prematurely on August 17, 2012 at 29 weeks & weighed only 2lbs 6oz.
At just 2 weeks, Troy became very sick & developed a blood infection. Because of this he had to go back on the ventilator and had multiple blood and platelet transfusions. At his one month head ultrasound we found out our baby had Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) a brain injury characterized by the death of the white matter of the brain.
Troy spent 51 days in the NICU before we were finally able to take him home on October 7, 2012.
At about 7 months he started physical & occupational therapy as well as vision therapy. Currently our little man keeps busy with 14 therapies a week. Troy also battles infantile spasms (a specific type of seizure), cortical visual impairment, feeding issues, reflux and more.
Most recently Troy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegia on January 7th, 2014.
Troy has severe gross motor delays and will require extensive therapy. Troy also requires adaptive equipment such as wheelchair and stander etc. Troy will need longtime specialized care & assistance.
We are asking for everyone's support on Troy's Journey to ensure he is given every opportunity available for him to succeed. Any donations recieved will go towards medical fees, special formula, equipment and therapy.
*Please note that we are not a 501c non-profit organization. So unfortunately your donations cannot be used as tax write offs.
