Update: A Massive Victory and an Urgent New Reality

Jun 02, 2026

We have some incredible news, but also a sober reminder of how fragile every single day has become.
Thanks to relentless advocacy and a miracle of timing, our insurance has agreed to make an exception for the University of Utah!
This is a massive victory for our family. Instead of facing a terrifying, dangerous 18-hour journey for specialized care, our travel time has been cut down to 4 hours. Being closer to the medical team who can manage Ambrosia’s severe Stage 4 Bronchiolitis Obliterans and protect our baby girl, Aurora, brings us a level of relief we can’t fully put into words.
But the reality of our daily battle remains right in front of us.
While 4 hours is infinitely better than 18, even this shorter drive has now become incredibly difficult for Ambrosia. Her lungs are working harder than ever, and the physical toll of traveling—even for a few hours—strains her oxygen levels and exhausts her body.
We are stable, but we are operating on the narrowest of margins. Ambrosia is fighting for every breath to keep Aurora safe until delivery, and every mile we travel takes something out of her.
Because we are now traveling to Utah for this critical care, our financial needs have shifted, but they haven't stopped. We still face the immense costs of medical travel, temporary housing near the hospital, and the basic day-to-day survival needs that allow Jasen to stay by Ambrosia's side without the crushing weight of financial panic.
You helped us get this far. Your prayers, shares, and donations gave us the strength to fight for this insurance exception. Now, we need your help to sustain us through this next, most critical phase.
Please continue to share our story, keep us in your thoughts, and donate if you are able. You are quite literally helping Ambrosia breathe, helping Aurora grow, and keeping our family together.
With all our love and endless gratitude,
Ambrosia, Jasen, and Aurora ♥️
