Issac is a friend/neighbor. Isaac was is in ICU at the University of Vet Medicine in Gainesville Florida.
He was admitted on Wed April 21st was diagnosed with a serious stricture in his lower esophagus, the "Sphincter".
This stricture is smaller then a small coffee straw, and about 1/2 inch long.
This causes him substancial difficulty & discomfort in swallowing.
Due to this, Isaac is on a liquid diet & has
a hard time getting the proper nutrition his littel growing body needs.
The only option avialable to fix this problem, is a "Ballooning Procedure" which involves slowly stretching the affected area of the esophagus.
It is also a very tidius & expensive procedure.
Isaac's Medical Expenses were $4100 at his Previous discharge.
The cost of the procedure alone that he needs is between approx $3600-$3900.
Upon recieving several emails from concerned people suggesting that I should set up some type of account for Isaac...that offers people the option to help with his Medical Expenses..
I did just that!

Isaac has been home for 3 weeks now, and has been holding his own fairly well....for the most part.
He has to go for follow up visits every 2 weeks until we can afford his procedure.
He is on several perscriptions to help keep him comfortable until that time.
As of today (5-25-10)
Isaac has begun to decline again.
He is struggling to eat, even liquids.
We are crying for help!
No amount is to small!
No prayer goes unheard!
