Bonus Podcast: Jonah's Journey, A Reason to be Thankful

<p>If we are lucky, we will live a healthy and full life. But for some, the start can be a little rough. Jonah is one of them.</p> <p>Jonah was born in January of 2021. When he came home from the hospital, he was a little jaundiced, and his parents, Danielle and Sean Moore weren't overly concerned. But when it did not get better, more tests were done and Jonah was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia.</p> <p>The diagnosis would change their world. Jonah, at only a few months old, needed a liver transplant. Danielle was a perfect donor. Meanwhile, Sean, a firefighter with Anne Arundel County needed to hold it all together while caring for their other son.</p> <p>For sure, theirs is a story of love, commitment, and tenacity. But it is a story of thankfulness. For each other, for the fire department community, for friends and relatives, for strangers, and for family. And also, thankfulness for Jonah who is a fighter at 10-months of age, but with the help of those that love him, go on to do great things!<br /> <br /> This is a lifelong health concern for Jonah and his parents have set up a fund (to only be used for Jonah's costs to treat the BA)through the Children's Organ Transplant Association to handle some of his costs in the future--who knows what medicine will cost in 20 or 30 years? And through community donations and fundraisers, it is off to a great start!<br /> <br /> Have a listen first.</p> <p>And then read up, learn, and help if you can!<br /> <br /> <strong>LINKS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jonahsbajourney">Jonah's Biliary Atresia Journey</a> (Facebook Page)</li> <li><a href= "https://cota.org/campaigns/COTAforJonahsBAJourney?fbclid=IwAR2XwWmYwBKSfprqGDBxgK5SZY8NG3kWvUObiPonJVicuW_o0MfmD5NlNC0"> COTA For Jonah's Biliary Atresia Journey</a> (Contribute)</li> </ul>
