My Story…
Never in our lives did we ever think we would be a family nominated to Make a Wish. We never had a reason to. Then April 24, 2025 happened. Our healthy, active, 7 year old little boy suffered a cardiac arrest from a mysterious pulmonary embolism. Our world was flipped upside down. Lawson was without adequate oxygen for 35 minutes while he was connected to an ECMO machine. He now lives with a hypoxic brain injury, is in a wheelchair, tube fed, non verbal, and requires 24/7 care. We are so grateful he still has his beautiful smile and knows how loved he is. Although we haven’t chosen a wish for him yet, we are incredibly grateful for organizations like this, giving so many sweet children and families like mine beautiful memories to last a life time. We will forever participate and pay it forward everywhere we possibly can, with hopefully a crew of Lawson’s support behind us.
