Hello All~ I just got home a received this link to the prayers for my Nathan, Thank you Ines. You have been a rock for me. I want to express to you all my appreciation for your thoughts and prayers. It all still seems like a bad dream that we will wake up from.
Since I talked to Ines last, Nathan's heart rate went back up and they had to hit him with even more atavan and it has caused him to have great difficulty breathing. He has been off his autism meds since being in the hospital and they had great difficulty putting a mask on him so he has been put on a vent. It's breathing for him, and my son has said that his little arms are tied down. They are having to keep him asleep so they can keep his heart rate down and so he doesn't wake up and freak about the vent hose. His heart is enlarged and one side is very weak. The autism is showing itself very strongly without his meds and he doesn't understand what is happening.
My son called a few minutes ago and said they have taken him for an arteriogram .That is where we are now. It breaks my heart to not be there with them now. Not just anyone can care for his lil' brother Tony, he is autistic also and it is more pronounced in him. So I learn and pray by phone many times a day. Seems like they are a thousand miles away.
Thank you again Ines, for being the caring person you are and for all of you lifting up my baby. Your posts have me all misty but in a good way. God has brought my family THRU so much and I know it will happen again. Sorry so long, just wanted all to know that your prayers mean so much and I have faith will not be in vain. ~Denise |
