I Carry You with Me Leah Mitchener 58 • June 2017
Love is an incredible & powerful force. It tests your courage, strength, dedication, patience, kindness, perseverance, and a million other little things. The people we shower with our affections will put that love through a lot — sometimes by their actions, or sometimes by their circumstances. But of all the different people you love, the love for your child is perhaps one of the purest and strongest. When they hurt, you hurt, and you’d give anything to make them better — even give a part of yourself. That is precisely the decision Matt and Ashley Dykman made when they learned that their beloved son would be born in need of a kidney transplant. When Ashley was 17 weeks pregnant, she and her husband Matt made the trip to the doctor that everyone looks forward to when they are expecting: the one where they would learn the sex of their baby-to-be. Unfortunately, along with that, came news no new parent hopes to hear — that their son was suffering from a rare birth defect called Eagle-Barrett, better-known as “Prune-Belly Syndrome”. His abdominal wall was not forming correctly and affected the development of his organs, particularly his kidneys. When he was born, Sawyer’s kidneys did not function at all and his parents were forced to put him on dialysis. Many surgeries were performed to help him with different issues that commonly arise with his type of syndrome. Seeing the stress that the Dykmans were going through, their hometown community of Florence banded together and held several fundraisers to help ease the financial burden of hospital bills for the family.
