Brave Bri’s Journey

Briyelah Jamie Sue Root was born on May 11th and was only 3lbs & 15 ounces when she was born.

Shortly after her arrival, she was placed on oxygen as her levels began to drop and she went through a barrage of tests to determine the cause. The doctors found underdeveloped lungs and chronic respiratory failure.

During her stay in the NICU, the medical staff also discovered that she has several severe issues with her heart, mouth, hearing and more.

Currently she is back in the critical care unit NICU at American Children’s Family Hospital in Madison, WI.

You can read her story & find out about her journey on her Caring Bridge website.

The family has also started a GoFundMe account to help cover the costs of their rising medical bills.
