A young couple from Summerville was expecting a delivery of
their baby daughter with all indications she was healthy and a good size
estimated to be about nine pounds. For
some unknown reason the baby went into cardiac arrest and wasn’t breathing as
she delivered. The doctors and nurses
performed CPR on the baby to revive her.
They also cooled the baby’s body to help prevent organ damage. Unfortunately she went into cardiac arrest
for a second time and thankfully was successfully resuscitated again. However, as a result of the CPR she had a
fractured rib and it punctured an internal organ. She has been in NICU at MUSC since her birth
over a week ago. The family has been driving
back and forth from Summerville to MUSC and putting quite a few miles on the vehicles. Change for a Dollar provided $100 in gas gift
cards to help with the travel expenses. An
organization that the father volunteers with heard of the Change for a Dollar $100
donation and they also chipped in for additional gas cards to help as well. While the family is optimistic and prognosis
is good please pray for the family and the rapid recovery of the baby girl.
Gas cards - $100.00
