On April 20th, Kaylen Campbell was born to Lenny and Amanda Campbell of Grant City. When she was born, she had some breathing issues which led them to Children’s Mercy Hospital, where they currently remain. She was diagnosed with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, which means when she sleeps, her brain forgets to tell her to breathe.
On May 28th, Kaylen had a tracheotomy; however, she was then diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s Disease, which is common in CCHS children. She had another surgery on June 21st and recovered well. She now has an ostomy bag, which she will need for 3-6 months before another surgery.
A fundraiser is being held to pay for the family’s medical expenses. To donate, visit the website https://team-kaylen.company.site/ or contact April Healy. Shirts are being sold, and the order deadline is July 31st. Orders will be shipped or available for pickup beginning August 16th.
