I'm praying and have asked some friends to pray also.Shari

 

  " this week has been probably the most difficult so far. his doctors sat me down yesterday and told me his right lung has not improved at all. they feel we're getting close to the point where we're doing things " to him " and not " for him " . the switch to the different ventilator is kind of like a hail mary. this has to work, his right lung has to show some type of improvement by this coming monday. they'll do a ct scan and if there's been no change, they will more than likely take him off bypass and the chances for him off bypass are poor at best.

i'm writing this but i can't let myself absorb any of it. i sobbed most of yesterday, breaking down in front of my family last night. i'm trying my best to stay strong, and i believe in my son... the kind of terror i feel right now just can't be explained. evin is every dream, wish on a star, prayer and penny thrown in a fountain come true. if you know of any prayer list he's not already on, please put him on it. i can't lose my son. i can't lose my son and i will never let go or stop fighting. "

This is an excerpt from an email I received earlier this evening written by a mom in our local Down syndrome association.  The mom who wrote this email is talking about her only child who is 7 months old.  He had his AVSD repaired in December and all seemed well.  He got sick with I believe pneumonia a few weeks ago and was put into Levine Children's Hospital here in Charlotte, NC.  I know he is on ECMO and has had many other procedures done to try to improve his condition but it doesn't sound like anything is making a huge difference.   Please pray for both of them!  Please ask anyone you know to pray!

We'll pray for them and put out a prayer request, would you be willing to share just their first names, if you don't mind. I think the little boy's name is Evin, correct?

 

Thank you,

Ruby,

You tell Pamela to keep you updated. The more frequently we hear their names

mentioned, the more the prayers will be offered. Keep asking! That's very

hopeful news.

Marsha,I am constantly checking email for updates :-) Kind of like being on pins and needles just waiting for some good news. Unfortunatley, she has limited access to a computer so the updates directly from Pamela don't come very often. So we have to wait for the people who go visit to send out an email update. She is also no longer able to use her cell phone for updates due to the new machine in Evin's room. I will keep the updates rolling in as I hear them and thank you to everyone praying!RubyRuby,You tell Pamela to keep you updated. The more frequently we hear their names mentioned, the more the prayers will be offered. Keep asking! That's very hopeful news.
