My little 2 1/2 year old boy has been in ICU since fri.....
We brought him in to Childerens with hopes that he needed more O2,due to a chest infection,
15min later he had a double cardiac arrest from very high pulmonary pressures
they massaged his chest, and got him back in minutes but his heart has taken a hit and we are hopefull that a recovery will be made,
He is still in ICU and in fragile but stable condition the docs are great but ultimately he is in God's hands

Thnks

Yikes! Hope all turns out well. Children are very resilient, and recover fully from some things that adults pretty much can't. Keep us updated!

prayers (many of them)
i have a kid the same age, it hurts to think what you might be going thru. but my wife is a nurse at the local children's hospital here in denver, and i assure you he is in the best of care. at least you were at the right place at the right time.

I have a soft spot for kids you have my prayers

Our family has him in our prayers!

Kid's bounce back quick!

Kids should NEVER have to get sick. EVER.

Every parent's worst fear. Prayer machine switched on to "high" for your son and your entire family Steve.

your boy and family are in my prayers...

I cringed when I read the title of your post. Best of all things to you and yours.

don't know what to say except I hope he gets well ASAP...cute little guy

he and his family are definitely in my thoughts.

whoa! keep your chin up Steve.

He will be in our thoughts and prayers

in my prayers

Another prayer for your son, you and family. Hope the doc's get him well. Peace be with you.

This is never the type of thing you want to hear, much less go through. We have Easton and your family on our prayer list.

We will take an extra minute tonight and say a prayer for all of you.

Our best wishes and prayers are with you and your family. We pray for a speedy recovery.

Steve, Easton will be in our thoughts and prayers. with all the above, children bouce back faster than we think.

Take care,

Jen

I can only imagine what you and your family are going through. I can't even think of this happening to my Son (almost 3).

All of our hopes and good wishes are with him, please keep us updated!

He is in our thoughts and prayers.

Every parents worst nightmare, I hope the little guy makes a full recovery. We have been there and there is nothing more disturbing then having your child in ICU.

HIEDI

Added to my list.

i'm at a loss for words...but not positive thoughts and wishes.

k

Ah, man, that hurts. Hoping for the best... Hang in there man.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Well if that is Childrens in Seattle, he is in great hands. Lots of miracles happen there. I will think positive thoughts. Eddy

I am all hope here. In the world of medicine, miracles happen every moment, every day.

Keep us updated, and lean here.. as you need to..

Trial, tribulation, and triumph.. it's going to be fine.


Miles

Many prayers go out to him!

our thoughts and prayers are with you. keep us updated, there are a lot of thoughtful and concerned people here.
-Rob

consider our families prayers sent.

He is in our thoughts and prayers. best wishes.

Our little man is still in critical condition today eight days later, He is stable but does not have a lot of reserve, Sher and I will continue to fight for him as best we can ...the Doctors are great but cannot predicte the outcome, whether the heart will heal, The right side is enlarged and not pumpiing properly due to the pulmonary hypertension, which is now beeing treated. We have hopes that this will improve.... I really wish he was back at home.....
steve
Sher and I thank alll of you for your prayers and support

Praying for ya....

Many positive thoughts and prayers headed your way.

I'll have Hunter return the favor from the many positive thoughts and prayers sent his way from my friends here on the Club.

Keep us posted and don't give up.

Pay attention to what the doctors say and do. Remember you are Easton's health advocate when he is unable to tell you how he feels. And... there are times when the parents know best, not the doctors. Trust your instincts.

Hugs and kisses.

Karl
(Hunter's Dad)

As a parent who's been there, I know there's little any of us can do to lift your burden of fear and concern. We listen, share your anguish and pass along our prayers but none of this will touch what you're feeling.

Do your best. Be there for him. Be a Dad.

Good luck.

Carl

bump for well wishes and prayers!

Steve,

Been thinking about your little boy all weekend. We had many prayers for his recovery. God Bless you and family throughout this ordeal.

Tom

Any news? Has the praying been helping? It really hurts to see small children going through something like this. I hope all is well soon.

Steve,

I"m an RN on a cardiac unit and have two little ones,I still can't imagine what you are going through. Kids being sick brings out the most painful emotions. You have my and my family's prayers. Dion

Steve, I too work in the cardiac unit...sometimes at Children's Hospital in Orange, Ca (the cardiac cath lab) Was your little one born with a congenital condition in regard to his pulmonary hypertension?
If I can be of any resource to you...don't even hesitate...I have lots of contacts for information.
Also in my prayers! God speed for a quick recovery for your little man


Lisa

he is included in my prayers, and we will include him and your family tonight when my children say their prayers.

Easton and your family are in my prayers.

I can only imagine what you are going through. This weekend I was able to babysit my 17-month-old grandson. He is such a joy! When he was born my daughter had to go through an emergency C-section because of stress on the umbilical cord - I've never felt so helpless, sick and scared in my whole life. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what you are feeling. The thought of something like this happening to my Nate is just devistating.

In our prayers. All the best.

Best Wishes... Hope all is Well
