Hello we are the Kane Family,
Our son, Thomas Jr., was diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)While babies with a Trisomy 21 diagnosis often have congenital heart defects, HLHS is a rare and critical congenital heart condition that is fatal if not treated immediately. Baby Thomas will need three staged operations to help provide his heart with the best function. His first open-heart surgery will be shortly after birth, a second operation around 4-6months and the last around 18months-3 years.
Our baby Boy is a fighter, defying odds and expectations since we confirmed his arrival, received the news he would be born with an extra chromosome and discovered the gravity of his heart defect. We long prayed for another baby, after experiencing infertility, and are blessed to be expecting our son.
We are asking for you help in supporting our medical journey to travel to North Carolina for his delivery, surgeries and on-going medical care. Any contribution is greatly appreciated and will go towards his complex medical care and our travel and housing expenses.
We are a family that walks by faith. Our pregnancy has been difficult, filled with lots of unknowns and fear. We believe in the power of prayer and in community. Please please pray for our son, our family and his medical team. We believe in God and the power of prayer.
Thank you,
Felicia & Thomas Kane
