This is where I have been everyday for a week. Most days twice a day. I am so grateful that I only live 10 minutes so that I can go back and forth. I was thinking..what would I do if I lived in another town and he had to be here...that would be so hard, and I know so many people do it everyday. I have been so grateful from everyone's love and support that has been pouring into us. It has meant so much to me, and is carrying me through this time. This has been the hardest week of my life, hands down.
He is so sick. Today, his heart rate was so high, they would only let me touch his hand and talk to him, I couldn't even rub his head. It was so hard...I just wanted to scoop him up in my arms, and give him lots of kisses...to let him know I love him.
He has a tube breathing for him.
Look at what all he is hooked up on. He is so sick. He is stable, but they are having to constantly give him stuff, monitoring his vitals, adjusting everything, to keep him stable. He had emergency surgery yesterday and removed 1/2 liter of fluid from his belly. The still can't figure out what is wrong with him. I am very worried that his whole body is just shutting down. 
The clear blow up bubble at his feet is to keep him warm. They can't keep his temp up where it needs to be. It is so hard not being able to be there with him all the time, especially now. I am waiting now for the doc to call with results from his ultrasound today. Please, Lord, heal this baby, please let the doctors figure out what is wrong with him.
Dear Maury,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Sending up prayers that his body will be healed. I can't imagine how hard it is not to be with him.
Big huge hug,
Lisa
