Their story

Our 14yr old daughter Maylee has a condition called Pectus Excavatum. Basically her sternum has caved in on her heart and lungs causing decreased blood flow out of her heart and her lungs not to be able to expand properly. She will need surgery to place 2-3 bars between her heart and sternum to lift her sternum off of her heart and lungs. (Called the NUSS procedure) This is a very rough surgery, considered one of the toughest they do on a kid.  She will not be able to push, pull or lift anything or lay down flat for 3 months. 

We started this page to help us pay for our travel to Cincinnati Children’s Chest Wall Center in Ohio (we live in Indiana - 2 hours away) for testing and surgery and things she will need such as a motorized recliner. (She will not be allowed to put any weight on her hands or twist/turn or lay down making a smooth recliner a necessity) Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through this. Thank you!!
