Emma Porter has been diagnosed with a rare disease called Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy (ANE), which caused an autoimmune over-response. Effectively, her body launched an attack on her brain, causing severe swelling. She is currently in the ICU at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Join us in praying for Emma’s complete healing 🙏 and supporting the Porters every step of the way.
This page will serve as a central location for updates, go fund me, meal train (not active yet per Taylor), and other needs will be requested here as they arise too. Please feel free to leave encouraging messages, prayers, scripture, photos. —— Chris and Taylor are deeply encouraged by the outpouring of love and support from their community. At this time, their greatest need is prayer for complete and miraculous healing for sweet Emma. If you feel led to do more, there is an option to give Visa gift cards, which will help cover meals, groceries, and other needs while Emma is in the hospital. Additionally, a GoFundMe has been set up to assist with medical expenses. We will continue to share updates here periodically and add specific care needs as they arise.
