Jalyn's Cheer Team Updates

WE LOVE TODAY!!!

Jalyn got to ditch all but two of her remaining “accessories” today! The only thing she has left is one IV access for just-in-case purposes and the pulse oximeter. We got to move from the PICU to a regular room (with our very own bathroom!!)

She had some pretty impressive swelling that showed up near her right temple tonight that sent mom into a panic. Neurology doesn’t seem too concerned as her CT this morning looked stable and all of her vitals and neurological responses are within reason. For now we will continue to monitor all of the above and hope that we see nothing but a decrease in swelling come tomorrow. She frequently flashes us the smile we waited so long to see and reminds us that everything is going to be alright.

Thank you all for the continued support, love, and prayers!

There is a Venmo account set up for donations for Jalyns medical expenses- @prayersforJalyn
An account has been set up at First National Bank in Woonsocket. You may choose to drop off a donation at the bank, or mail a check to FNBO c/o Jalyn Bender Benefit, PO Box 98, Woonsocket SD 57385, or use this link https://square.link/u/tR2OegSH
to give a donation via credit/debit credit card that will flow directly into the account. To give a donation through Venmo, use @prayersforJalyn (code 1962) and this will also flow into the benefit account. If you would like to send a donation and/or a card directly to the Benders, mailing address is 22495 408TH AVE FORESTBURG, SD 57314.  The Modern Woodmen of America Woonsocket Chapter will provide matching funds up to $1250 for this benefit.
