Blaire’s Story:

8-year-old Blaire Helstad of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, was airlifted from Marshfield Clinic Rice Lake to Marshfield Clinic Children’s Hospital on 3/11/24 after experiencing multiple witnessed seizures. After a short stay there, Blaire was flown to UW-Madison Children’s Hospital and put into two medically induced comas to try to stop her seizure activity. Doctors are unsure of what is going on with Blaire’s condition but have labeled her with FIRES (Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome) along with SRSE (Super Refractory Status Epilepticus). Blaire has been in the hospital since this all started and is continuing to undergo so many different challenges in addition to her new Epileptic Syndrome. Nick and Jen, Blaire's parents, are active in the Rice Lake Community and school district and have two other children at home waiting for their sister to get well so they can all be together again, playing sports, attending church, and doing what they love together. Please join us in helping the Helstad family!
