Let me share a heartwarming story with you all

This is the story of baby Natalie. A beautiful little girl, born to none other than our very own fromxtor, also known as Josh, and his beautiful wife, Nicole. Little Natalie was born on April 13th, at 4:17am, weighing 7lbs 4oz. and was 19 3/4" long.

From the moment she was born, little Natalie was rushed into the NICU in critical condition. After a lot of consulting and talking with the Neurologist, they learned that precious little Natalie had severe brain damage to the hypothalamus.

Baby Natalie just born:


Daddy's Little Girl


Mommy's Little Angel


Little Natalie has had to have surgery to insert a G-tube @ PITT.



Baby Natalie Going into surgery:


This little girl and her family have had a very trying time, and now, this little girl can't even eat on her own. The formula she was on was $135 per box of 4, 14oz cans! Now, little baby Natalie is being fed through a stomach tube and has since been diagnosed with more illness..Cerebral Palsy.

The essential run down of Nat's illnesses:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy
http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic149.htm
http://www.incrediblehorizons.com/ba...20function.htm
^^This is the part of her brain that is damaged, it controls:
pituitary gland regulation
blood pressure regulation
hunger and salt cravings
feeding reflexes
thirst
body temperature regulation
hydration
heart rate
bladder function
water preservation
hormonal/neurotransmitter regulation
ovarian function
testicular function
mood & behavioral functions
wakefulness
metabolism
sleep cycles
energy levels

Miss Nat on a 24 hour a day EEG that is sitting under her little cap:



Nat as Princess Fiona:






Now, I know a lot of you are wondering WHY this thread is here. Why is this in the Chat section? Plain and simple, it is zilvia family. We are not asking that you contribute in any way, this is being done because Zilvia would like to see that this little girl gets a little head start in life. Nicole was active duty and was forced to separate early to care for baby Natalie. With the holidays coming up, they are pretty tight for cash with all of the hospital bills, and specialists needed to keep this little girl as healthy as she can be.

With that said, YES, there are hundreds of babies out there that are sick. This baby is here, and a part of our family and community. Someone that we all have dealt with at some point in our ventures through Zilvia. That is why we are choosing to try to help raise funds for this particular little angel.

If you would like to help baby Natalie and her family have a little easier time this Christmas, whether you believe in it or not, please send a little something to the family via paypal :Josam01@yahoo.com

This is strictly voluntary, but would be a great gesture, not to a fellow man, but to a little baby girl that would love to have a great holiday season with her family.


Thanks for reading.

Such a sad story, as soon as I have the ability to use paypal again, I am sending some money that way. I hope that she has a great holiday season, some of us don't really know what we have until you read something like this. My heart goes out to the family, and anyone else who has a sibling or knows someone that suffers like this.

If you want to donate, but can't use paypal, please PM fromxtor and see if he has a post office box or a mailing address.


I am so happy that you all are contributing to baby Natalie. Thank you all!!!! It truly warms my heart.


And more pics of baby Nat:



Oh snap, she knocked daddy out!

Princess Nat as Emma calls her:




Did Nat mention that her daddy passes out hella easy when she holds him?

Why would she want to get out of the military? Not trying to be an asshole. I know most of the staff at the NICU there on CP Lester.

Now, just a little military 411 for all of you.

If a service member's child is born in a military hospital, with a debilitating disease such as CP, the US govmt will cover the costs of LONG TERM medical care including any major operations and medicine FOR THE REST OF THE CHILD'S LIFE. What they will NOT cover is food and lodging (hence Lisa's request for donations).

Additionally, the parents now qualify for many state funded benefits and have access to places to stay like the Fisher house.

The parents still pay a lot out of pocket but the US govmt is covering much more of that cost.

With that being said, I have donated a bit I saved up for my turbo project to the aforementioned parents. I know what its like to have family issues come up while you serve (I'm ARMY btw). Money comes and goes folks, but some things are more important than cars, especially this time of year.

Thank you Lisa and Kevin for going out on a limb for a fellow military member. Thanks to all my fellow Zilvians for taking time to even just stop and read this, I want everyone to know that you DO NOT have to send money if you just want to send a card or something like that PM me and I'll give you my adress. I also understand that soem of you all don't make a bunch of money or are in collage and only work part time. So if you do decide to give, please do so within your means.

For those asking for more pics, I will be unleashing the fury here shortly.

Again thank you everyone for your kind words/thoughts and donations if you feel so inclined to do so. I hope to be able to give back in any way I can.

Natalie was born in the local hospital here in Goldsboro, NC, and had to be flown via helicopter that same day to Greenville. I felt really bad for Nicole having to spend the night in the hospital in recovery w/o being able to visit her daughter. We then continued to visit her at PCMH daily for 3 months while she was there.

We are currently trying to get into several state/gov't programs but they aren't as easy to get into as your would think.

There are other costs that the military is not covering right now. The father is active duty, and Nat needed someone to care for her 24/7. I know that the military and tricare only pay for parts of it. There is a lawsuit going on right now trying to get the govt to pay as you have stated(not with this family, another). It is a hard thing, and I know you weren't trying to be an ass. Just a lot of factors in it.


I know that Josh and his family appreciate just the thought and the time you all have given to just read this thread.
