please keep him in your thoughts

[andrewsmom]

ohh you guys. Andrew is so sick. He has pneumonia and has been in the ICU for almost 2 weeks now. He is on a ventilator because he is still unable to breathe on his own. His o2 levels dropped to the 60's and he turned blue and was gasping for air when they had to put him on the vent. They said he was just too tired to fight anymore and had just given up.

They have been trying to wean the vent but every time they bring something down all his stats drop and he can not manage to keep them above 90.

They did manage to get him off the drugs that paralyze him and now he is just heavily sadated. Because of all these drugs and the length of time he has been on them, they are telling us he may need to learn to walk all over again.

I am just beside myself and would like to ask you all to keep him in your thoughts. He really needs your help.

Thank you
-Trisha

Sympathy and best wishes for a good and speedy recovery, though I'm sure 2 weeks in ICU has already been forever. I know that it's tough wishing you could breathe for your child. Stay strong. -- Bob
