Extensive medical bills to be paid (2nd try)...

I am a wife, mommy and elementary teacher. You can read our story at [ link ] Over the past four years we have incurred very extensive medical bills (doctor, hospital, surgical, pharmacy) for both of our daughters. We have been unable to find doctors who can agree on their diagnosis or treatment. We have had a lot of difficulty juggling things money-wise and need the heavy financial weight lifted. We were scheduled to have a second surgery for my four year old in November, but had to cancel it for financial reasons. This is my second "wish" attempt. We chose the amount of only one hospital bill, for cystic fibrosis testing and extensive blood work, instead of the full amount of all our medical bills together like we did the first time.

We are a newly married couple who trying to get on our feet with a small family. I surprisingly became pregnant last fall. Unfortunatly, my pregnancy was very comlicated with a blood imcompatibility problem which required me to have to have extensive medical care including our son having a need to have blood transfusions in utero. During the last transfusion he had was so sick and anemic that his heart began to fail and he was delivered by emergency cessarian on March 6 at 26 weeks gestation. He is currently in the NICU of a Children's hospital where he will be for at least 3 months. He is very sick and so small! He is on oxyen, breathing support machines, IV's and tons of medicines. Yesterday we were told that he may soon need to have open heart surgery for his Patent ductus artery that did not close at birth. I am not able to work anymore as we also have 5 year old twin girls at home, and I am trying to be at the hospital with the baby and take care of the family at the same time. I also ended up in the hospital again last week for an infection aquired during the baby's delivery so I am not well and so worried about our situation. We have mounting expenses for travel to and from the hospital as the hospital is 45 minutes away, as well as all of the unpaid medical and co-pays. We are very much in need of a second reliable vehicle that could fit three car seats. My husband is originally from Peru and works very hard, but he does not make much money to support all of us on his own. I am afraid we will loose our house in all of this and not have a safe clean place to bring this sick baby home to. Please help us! We really are in need of some miracles! I beg of all of you to think of us, and please send prayers for our little boy.
Thank you for your consideration.

I'm a mommy of a 2 and 4 year old and we're about to add a 3rd addition to our family in April. I recently got out my old breastpump and discovered that it was broken. Bummer. It was a gift and I used it well with my 2nd child. My husband works very hard to provide for us but I just don't know if I can justify spending that much money right before the baby is born. I was planning on going back to school full time and was hoping to have a reliable breast pump to be able to continue nursing the baby. Thank you for reading this!
