{Junior}



There is an {incredibly} sweet little boy named, Junior.





He is pretty sick right now and his family could use support in any manner
{Prayer}
{Monetary donations}
{Cards of encouragement}
{Anything, anything}


This is Junior's story.

{Junior is 17 months old and in October was diagnosed with Scimitar
Syndrome, lung, and heart problems. He underwent open heart surgery in mid November.
He is currently at The Children’s Hospital receiving the best care in the nation, and is
expected to be there for an extended period of time. All proceeds will go to the Wright
Family to help with expenses.}

Since his surgery, Junior has been keep sedated. He's been intubated and on a ventilator. The doctors determined that he has a narrowing in his esophagus above the vocal cords and when they tried to extubate him his oxygen rate dropped drastically. The problem with his esophagus is possibly from the extended time he has been intubated. Therefore, they felt it was in Junior's best interest to have a tracheotomy. It is not know at this time how long he will need the tracheotomy. He is a tough little cookie, but still in pretty serious condition.

Please pray for him. And if you are able, please support his family with a donation.
