Please take a moment to read through this.
We joined a December due date group when we were pregnant last year, and in the process, got to know an amazing mama named Katie St. Marie. At 20 weeks gestation, her baby girl, Rowan, was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which basically means that the left side of her heart didn't develop the way it should.
Her second heart surgery was on Friday, 1 June, and ended up being a 15 hour surgery as she lost a lot of blood. Since then, she has been in and out of surgery to try and get her little body and heart to work. She is currently on life support, and if the doctors do not see any improvement, her poor family, and us ladies who have grown to see them as family, will have to say goodbye.
We are appealing for prayers and well wishes, but would also like to try to ease the financial strain on the family if possible. Katie had to quit her job to take care of Rowan, and her and her husband, Ryan, can no longer afford their house. We can only imagine what the medical bills look like!
This poor family has enough to worry about, without having the added stress of wondering how much longer they will have a roof over their head. They also have a beautiful little boy, Jake, who needs the security of knowing his family is okay.
We are trying to make Rowan's story known and provide all the support we can for this very deserving family. Pass this note to your friends, post it on the Walls or celebrities, tell you co workers and friends to help us get Rowans story out there and try to get them the help and support they need. Also is you do pray please say a prayer for Rowan and her family.
