Dexter, Missouri - It's never easy becoming a parent, but knowing your child will be born with medical issues it can be very stressful. Kyle Stearns, graduate of Dexter High School, and his wife Taylor, are expecting their first child.  Baby Emmett should make his appearance April 3, 2017; however he will require immediate surgery.

Emmett has developed a large bowel blockage and will require surgery when born and have at least a two month hospital stay at Children's Hospital in St. Louis. Also, he will come home with a colostomy and no immune system and will require special care and services until his body repairs itself.

They are looking at the possibility of two or more surgeries the first year of his precious life. All prayers are appreciated for both family and Emmett! 

So to help with some of the medical bills, Sho-Me Butts BBQ is currently taking orders for smoked whole butts $30 and Ribs $18. You can check out their Facebook page by clicking HERE for more questions or you can contact Carrie (Stearns) Mosbey at (940) 577-9037 to place an order.  Orders will be picked up March 4th.  You can also contact Angela Tanner on Facebook.

Also there is a donation account set up at First Missouri Bank in Dexter for Kyle and Taylor Stearns and Baby Emmett if anyone would want to help out monetarily this way. All proceeds go towards medical bills, lodging, loss of wages, and travel for this young family.
