A Note From Mom -- Tuesday afternoon
An update. Little Buddy was doing well this morning until about half and hour ago when he had an abnormal heart rhythm. They were very worried about it (even brought in a crash cart), but they gave him some meds and have stabilized his heart rhythm. They took an ekg and are going to do some tests to try to discover what caused the abnormal rhythm. He is now stable again, on only 35% oxygen, and his heart rate and pressures look good.We spoke to the doctor a few minutes ago. He said that Little Buddy is looking better today. He said that he now feels that Little Buddy has a good chance of making it through this, whereas yesterday he wasn't very optimistic. So that was good news to hear the doctor give a more positive report (especially considering what had just had just happened with his heart.

I'm so glad to hear the encouraging updates. You have been in my thoughts ALL day! It's hard to send hugs via the Internet, but that is what I want to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to update us on the blog. I look forward to more good news! :)
Lots of love!
Marianne (and family)

Oh Jana, thank you for letting us all know of what has happened. I love you and you precious family so much. Of course you are in everyone's prayers. I will be in the temple tomorrow and will be petitioning Heavenly Father on Ben's and his family's behalf. Love you! Marsha H.
ReplyDeleteOur little family sends our thoughts and prayers your way. The many hours of waiting and watching can be physically and emotionally draining. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help, even if it seems silly. So glad to hear that for now, things are looking a little better.

You don't know me, but I'm related to one of your cousins. Having been through something almost as scary with our own little buddy, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. No one will ever truly know what you are going through or what you have been through, but the love and support will sustain you!
ReplyDeleteWe are a year into treatment now, but reading your story brings back being in the worst of it. Thank you for sharing your story.
We were told of Ben's situation yesterday by my Sister, Cyndy. We have you in our thoughts and prayers. Our son, Taylor, was there at PCMC this past summer for neurosurgery treatment. You are in good hands. 3 Ne. 17:21-24.
