Baby Tripp

Tripp was born on Sept 25 with spina bifida, a level 2 chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, and club feet. So far in his short life, he has had 2 surgeries, one to close the back where the spine split and one to implant a vp shunt to drain fluid off his brain and in to his abdominal cavity. He spent the first 15 days of his life in Children's hospital between the NICU and ICC (a step down unit for critical care infants.) He will have weekly appointments that will bringthem to children''s and then to the spina bifida clinic for at least the first 6 months. He will be seeing no less than 3 doctors at each visit, sometimes more, that include his pediatric neurosurgeon, uroligst, and spina bifida specialist. He will also be seeing an orthopedist most of these visits. With the mounting doctor bills, please consider buying a shirt and donating to this wonderful family.
