Speaker 2: Right, Hey, Austin, So we did this for you. So

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: we work with Austin at Mercy Hospital in the ed

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, Austin and his wife t welcome

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: their son, Ezra, who's born with Down syndrome. In twenty

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: twenty two, Austin was diagnosed with kidney cancer, requiring multiple

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: surgeries in time off of work. His wife t was

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: also diagnosed of tuitary tumor in twenty twenty four, which

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: affects her vision and is untreatable. Austin and Tierra welcome

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: their baby girl, Amelia on September fifteenth, about six weeks premature,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: weighing only four pounds eight ounces, Emelie was born with

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This involves the left side of

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: the heart being underdeveloped, preventing the heart from pumpkin blood effectively,

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: which was requiring one to three surgeries. Austin did not

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: want to start his paternity leave or take time off

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: of work until Milia came home from the hospital. Because

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: of this, he continued to work after Amelli was born

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: and in the neiceo. He continued to come to work

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: with a smile, never complaining. Amelia was finally big enough

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: on November nineteenth for open heart surgery. Her chest was

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: closed up on November twenty fifth. Amelia then developed sepsis. Unfortunately,

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Amelia went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December tenth.

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: Austin has remained strong in his face and continued to

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: stay positive. You would never know he was having any

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: hardships because he comes to work every day and cares

70
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: for his patience without any hesitation. Austin his family are

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: so very deserving of this Christmas wish.

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Austin, I'm so sorry about the loss of your little

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: girl just a couple of weeks ago, not even two

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, little Amelia. I'm so sorry about that. You

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: have been challenged by your diagnosis and buy your wife's diagnosis,

76
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: and little Ezra. Little Ezra is four years old, right, yeah,

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: We're here to make your Christmas just a little bit

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: brighter and show you some love and support from your

79
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: family and your community and your co workers over at

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Mercy with what we call a Christmas wish, And we

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: wish we could just wave our hands and make everything better,

82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: but instead we're going to do something just to hopefully

83
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: put a smile on your face and let you know

84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: that you're loved and supported, which I'm going to guess

85
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: you probably feel that all like the five of your

86
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: co workers came in this morning and to show you

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: their support with Christmas wish, it is things and experiences,

88
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: because that's our form of showing you love and support.

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: So let's start off. Ezra is how old? Four years old?

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: We have some things for Ezra, just some things to

91
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: put under the tree, a bunch of toys and things

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: like that if things are a little bit tight this year.

93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know your financial situation, and it doesn't

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: really matter, but these are things from us and your

95
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: co workers. We've got squish mellows because kids are into

96
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,920

97
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: with a slide. Your living room is going to be

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: full of things that Ezra has scattered all over the place.

99
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: Hot wheels, monster trucks with a racetrack. You think Ezra's

100
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: into hot wheels. I sure, hope, So I'm sure it

101
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,680

Speaker 1: I hope the family enjoys this karaoke machine. That'll be

104
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,080

00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: horrible and noisy, but you can always take the batteries out.

107
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: But no, this is all just fun stuff for Ezra.
