Orginal Post:
Since our start in 2004, HMW (HawaiiMilitaryWives.com) has come together several times, to help one of our own.
Curtis and Kelsey Popp welcomed a beautiful baby Boy, Christian Kenneth Popp on August 23rd, at 6:31am at Castle Medical Center in Kailua, Hawaii. He weighed 7lbs. 13oz. and 19 inches long. After a rushed and complicated delivery mom and baby were separated just minutes after being born.
Just hours later Christian was diagnosed with a congenital heart failure, and will need to be life flighted to Children's Hospital San Diego. Curtis and Kelsey will not be permitted to accompany their son on his first plane ride, at just six days old. They will both take a commercial flight to San Diego where they've been told to expect may be a 6 week stay.
In addition to his loving parents, Christian has two brothers Conner (4yrs), and Cohen (2yrs) and his infant cousin Ethan (6mo). Ethan's father is a hero at work in Afganistan and will remain in the Popps care until his father's return to the US. Conner, Cohen, and Ethan will remain here in Hawaii with their proud Grandpa Jay Kenneth, with whom Christian is named after.
The Popps are hoping to reunite the entire family in San Diego, after Christian is deemed stable following his much needed open heart surgery.Upon their arrival Curtis and Kelsey will take residence at the brand new Ronald McDonald House.
Once the entire Popp family makes it to San Diego new accomidations will be needed, as only four, including baby Christian can be housed at the RM House.

We have an extra bedroom in a kid friendly home that you are more than welcome to use during your stay in San Diego. Love to you all. Kathy (Shannon's mom)
25 years ago my son was taken to the Children s hospital in Denver Colorado. The people and the Doctors were loving and understanding and help us so much. Pray for Gods will to be done. and my family and I will pray every day. I will try to get my church to help and I will help in any way I can in prayer and money. Trust in God and don,t question His motives. We all suffer in so many ways and we should thank God for everyone of them. Trust in God with all your heart and He will bless your family. Stay focused on God at all times and ask for a wondrous act to happen for your child and for your family. After this is over your family will be so much stronger in your faith and in your love for each other. Please don,t be angry with God because He knows what he needs from you to pull trough this. Focus on God and send your prays with the power of love and mercy. God has blessed mu family and he will bless yours no matter what the outcome my be. Love you and So does God.
