Omari
Joel Buchanan was born on Monday, December 31, 2012 in Silver Spring,
Maryland. As much as he is an added blessing to our lives, we are
faced with the heartache and challenges associated with raising a child
with critical medical needs. Omari was diagnosed at 3 months of life
with a rare genetic disease, Zellweger
Spectrum Disorder (ZSD), where the prognosis is terminal. Upon
diagnosis we were given a life expectancy of 6 months to a year of
life. God has blessed us. Omari is now 4 1/2 years old.
As a
result of being diagnosed with ZSD, Omari is faced with many
challenges. Some of Omari's obstacles include but are not limited to
chronic respiratory issues that resulted in a tracheostomy, seizures,
hypotonia, renal insufficiencies, multiple neurological deficiencies,
intellectual and cognitive delays, and visual and hearing impairment.
With
a terminal and incurable disorder, doctors can only treat the
symptoms and not the disease. Recently we read the story of a young girl
that suffered severe brain damage from drowning in February of 2016.
Scientists were able to reverse the damages sustained using Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). After hearing the story we contacted the
treating physician and, through that office, we were directed to
facilities in the Washington Metropolitan area where Omari resides.
However, these facilities could not accommodate him and a recommendation
was made to contact a facility in Tucson, Arizona. It is our hope that
with this therapy Omari can continue his journey to a better quality of
life. The trip is scheduled for September 10, 2017.
Considering the fact insurance does not cover HBOT, we are estimating the cost of this trip to be $15,000.00 to include treatment (roughly $120-$160/session), a portable oxygen concentrator, transportation, a Register Nurse, and room and board for two to three weeks.
This is our story. This is our life. If you can find it in your heart to help us help Omari, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!
Warmest Regards,
Omar and Jasmine Buchanan
(Omari's Parents)
