Need milk for MIRACLE baby southeast of Columbus Empty Need milk for MIRACLE baby southeast of Columbus

I don't want to make this long so I'll try to be brief - we have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl (we are adopting) who has proved doctors wrong time and time again since the day of her birth.
Precious has congenital hydrocephalus which caused her to develop no brain tissue on one side of her head - instead she had a huge fluid-filled cyst which was then smashing the left side of her brain against her skull.
We were encouraged to NOT take "heroic" measures to save this child who would be of "no value".
Hence her name Precious which means VALUABLE!!
God created this darling baby who has been a testimony to what Christ can do in a life - if just given the opportunity!!
Precious is now 10 weeks old (born February 19th) and has only been home for two weeks - she had feeding issues from the moment they started her on standard baby formula - I pleaded for donor breastmilk (they wouldn't discuss it!) - then asked for at least a trial of hypoallergenic formula (NO WAY) - they just were determined to force "standard fare" .
She's had 4 surgeries - but can miraculously drink from a bottle despite her neurological issues- she does have a g-tube because she can't take enough to sustain her by mouth.
Now that we're home (and have a holistic pediatrician) we have switched to hypoallergenic formula - she's doing MUCH better. Our doctor is supportive of donated breastmilk and my heart's desire would be to feed breastmilk exclusively - but at this point, the thought is that we would have to use it as a supplement because she needs much higher calories per ounce than breastmilk can provide.

Because of her medical issues we would love to give her the benefits of some breastmilk but it is of UTMOST importance that we are getting milk from a healthy person - so I wiill need documentation of suggested blood tests (per milk bank standards) and would prefer to have sufficient info about the lifestyle of our donor.

I appreciate so much what you donors go through to give our babies the blessing of human milk.

Please contact me if you think you can help our special daughter - I would prefer someone local so shipping wouldn't be necessary - we live one hour southeast of Columbus - but I do have several appts in the Columbus area so I could easily pick up anywhere between here and there.

Thank you so much for considering donating to Precious.

Prayerfully,
Susan
