Baby born with serious medical problems in a Portland children’s hospital
A Vancouver family is raising money to help offset medical and travel costs as their 7-month-old battles for her life in a Portland hospital.
Baby Ariella Rain was born at 30 weeks, weighing 1 pound, 5 ounces. She has a heart condition as well as pulmonary vein stenosis. In late October, she was diagnosed with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and bronchitis.
Today, she is a patient at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland.
Mya Walker, Ariella’s mother, is staying at the hospital while Ariella’s father takes care of their 5-year-old child and travels back and forth from their Vancouver home. The family is hoping to raise $5,000 to help with Ariella’s medical costs, bills because Mya is not working right now, and food and gas as the family deals with the emergency.
