I have a friend named Bobbie and she has 8 children (including 2 step children). We met on another board for homeschoolers over a two years ago.
Her youngest Baby Johnathan was born 4 months early in September of last year, He has been in the hospital since his birth. He has a hole in his heart and is need of a liver transplant. He has a cardiac catherazation done early May and the surgeon said that he is was a good canidate for the heart surgery. He cannot get a liver transplant unless the hole in his heart is repaired and he gains weight.
This little baby has been through so much. It was explained to her that without either surgery her infant son will not survive.
I got this update today:
