The Woods Family

Blessings Everyone,

Let me introduce you to our little bundle of Joy , our Pisces Princess.

~Zy'Anna Phoenix Grace~

 "HEART OF LIGHT" thats what my name Zy'Anna means. My big sister chose my name, mommy fell in love with the meaning; however, she wasn't aware of the true depth and inspiration my name would have for my family and I.

You see, while I was growing in my mommy's tummy, getting strong and healthy for her she started getting really sick. The doctors made her stay in the hospital for 4 days before I came out her tummy. I was born on March 15th, 2023 and I weighed 3lbs and 13oz. Yes, I know that sounds Itty bitty but don't let my size fool you. I am strong and I am a fighter. **I AM THE HEART OF LIGHT**.

&& I NEED YOUR HELP FRIENDS!! Although I'm all of those things, plus fiesty and sassy whatever that means  its what the nurses from my NICU family told mommy about me; guys I need you to help my family while I'm getting even stronger for them. I don't know everything as I am still just a baby, so I will let you guys meet my mom. It was nice to meet all of you and thanks for being here.

Hi everyone, I am Deunna, that little angel above mommy. She is right at the beginning of my third trimester I started exhibiting symptoms of Gestational Hypertension that later led to Preeclampsia with Severe Symptoms. I was having terrible headaches and my blood pressures reached as high as 160s over 100s. My due date was April 28th, 2023 but Zy'Anna was born 7 weeks early on March 15th, 2023.

I never imagined not being able to hold my baby, let along bring her home. She is indeed my heart of light. As a single mom of 4, I had been pushing myself at work and with my college classes online. Still working through my condition because I knew I wouldn't get PTO or Maternity Leave pay. With having Zy'Anna early and not being able to save properly im in need of help with her NICU stay @ the Bismarck Sanford Medical Center (which is 1 hour in a half from the city I live in) until she is added to my medicaid, household bills like rent, light, car insurance and gas to get back and forth from the hospital. She still also needs items for home to help her continue to get stronger once she comes home such as things like diapers, wipes, formula, humidifier. We don't have much support here in North Dakota as we are originally from Florida.

I do plan to go back to work as soon as I can but would like to have more time with Zy'anna to get her settled when she is able to come home. However, at this moment, although I was discharged I am still having blood pressure issues and have been placed on blood pressure pills plus my liver test are still elevated so it may be sometime before I am released to work.  

So please if you can please help out our family but most of all support &&& ***STAY HUMBLE FOR OUR ZY'ANNA BUNDLE***

Thank you all so very much.

Prayers, Emotional Support a d just simply sharing her story is deeply encouraged and appreciated as well
