As MamaBakers we help one another when we can. Sometimes we have Mamas who are in great need and we put out requests for help for Mamas in that area to assist.
Here is a MamaBake SOS for Melbourne MamaBakers (Preston):
"My sister and her husband,Tirion and Dan, had a baby boy on the 7th November. He had a heart attack at birth. He has undergone 2 rounds of ECMO (bypass) the 2nd was open heart. Since then he has gone into cardiac arrest several times.
Every aspect of this little baby works perfectly except for his heart. Doctors are now trying to "regrow" his heart muscle with no known outcome...his condition has never been seen before. Keeping him alive is extremely difficult, he has had several severe lung infections and is fully ventilated. He is having a tracheostomy this week to give him the best shot at growing and will hopefully allow my sister to hold him. She was due to return to her contract with the Victorian opera as a costumier when he was 12 weeks old. Doctors have said if he can pull through this it's at least 18 months to 2 years in the hospital.
Our family has been flying in and out of Melbourne as much as feasibly possible with work and babies and financial commitments. Tirion and Dan have agreed it is time to pack up their house in Melbourne to try eliminate debt and stay afloat. They live at Ronald McDonald house by the hospital as they have had to make emergency trips to his bedside through the night and it's likely that will continue. We need help from anyone that might be willing to volunteer some time over the weekend to help pack their house into boxes and move to a storage unit. The house is in Preston, Melbourne. We are thinking the weekend of 8th and 9th feb will be when we need to do it as they have given notice to the real estate. People can contact me on 0410630585 or racecoursecafe@gmail.com to discuss how they can help...any help will be appreciated so greatly.
