  • Olivia Rae update

    Ms Olivia and her parents met with the cardio team and the surgical staff to discuss her upcoming heart surgery. The doctor are pleased with her progress and bottle feedings and have scheduled surgery Jan. 7, 2025. Olivia will be 6 months old and stronger to undergo surgery. With that said, her mom (my daughter) will not be able to return to work after the school winter break. More importantly her insurance deductible starts over January 1st. Please continue to pray for Olivia's progress and if you feel led, please consider a donation to help with their family expenses. She has another cardio appt this month. The doctors continue to monitor her oxygen levels and scans. Obviously if her health changes the doctors will re-evaluate her surgery timeline. Thank you all for your prayers, keep them coming! Feel free to share the fundraiser page.

About this fundraiser

Today, July 3rd, we celebrate Olivia's FIRST birthday! One year ago Breanna and James Collins were expecting their 2nd baby with lots of unknowns. Olivia Rae was diagnosed with heart defect and a hole in her heart. She required  open heart surgery when she was 6 mos old (January 2025) to repair the hole and expand an artery. She had an amazing  team of doctors and nursing staff at Houston's Texas Children's Hospital who took great care of her in NICU for 58 days! Funds are needed to pay for current on ongoing scans, ultrasounds & doctors fees and hospital bills. Breanna is a teacher at GCISD with a toddler at home. She will be able to return to teaching this August 2025, but for now she is enjoying all the snuggles and baby milestones that Olivia is reaching. We are in awe of the strength this family has demonstrated this past year when facing some hard decisions for Olivia's health.  The family greatly appreciates all your donations and prayers! God bless and thank you for your prayers.
