As many of you know, my sister Hanna Terill and her husband Chris Terrill had a beautiful girl on July 17th: Finley Reese Terrill. Some may not know that after one week of life, Finley was beginning to have breathing and eating problems. On August 2nd 2008, she stopped breathing and was life flighted to primary childrens hospital in Salt Lake City. She had to be fed through tubes in order to eat, and put on oxygen to breathe.
Things have slowly been improving: Finley can now eat, but cannot get off the oxygen without having major problems. They have been running tests all week but are still unsure as to what virus is causing these problems. She has pneumonia and a very bad case of reflux It is so severe that once she is able to breathe on her own, she will still need to take medication for the first year of her life up to her entire life, depending on how much improvement is made.
At this time our family and friends are reaching out to the community to help the Terrill's in their time of need. We are holding a potato bar for the community and invite all to come out and support this wonderful family.
