Aww, will put the little one in my prayers!

Donna (^_^)

Sending special thoughts for this little one.

another child endangered in an er...it's just not right! thank goodness the family dr was alert! little kids are great survivors...good thoughts to everyone!

Susan-It was the same doctor that saw him in the ER! I think he rode in the ambulance just to cover his butt.In the ER he never even mentioned doing an X-ray or anything.It was an ulcer in the intestine that ruptured.Maybe if he had done an X-ray the night before they may have found it before it ruptured or at least would have gotten to it sooner.
The doctor that told them not to give up on him also told them that the brain in babies that young can rejuvenate to some degree.
Thanks for the prayers.They will appreciate it.

This is just so darned sad. I'm sending huge caring thoughts and prayers his way, and to the family.

Sending good vibes. I hate to hear about a sick child. Hope he recovers fully. Little guys are so resilient.

Such a tough time for him and his family! Add my good thoughts.

Saying many prayers for this poor child and his entire family. Hope all will be fine.

You got my prayers!!!
Last Thursday night at church, a young couple talked about how their baby was born very very early. The doctors told them about how the child would be brain damaged if it lived, etc. When the chief resident told the couple to quit hoping for a good outcome, the mom looked him in the eye and said, "I'm going over your head." *wink*

Their prayers were answered, and that kid is healthy as a horse now!

Oh gosh, I know how scary that is.
Sending my absolute best to the little guy and many prayers for a good outcome!

Sending hugs and prayers for the poor child.

How sad. Will say a prayer for the baby and family.

Sending prayers up for the little guy! This is so sad,hope he has a good outcome.What's his name Lillie? Poor little guy...

Heartfelt prayers for that little tyke. Hugs to the family!

My prayers are with him and family.
Never, ever give up on hope, after all there are miracles to be had. I will keep him in my thoughts.

Thanks everyone.
CR his name is Alex.Talked to my friend today and she said his grandpa was talking to him today as he slept and he opened one eye as if to say "Don't bother me,I'm sleeping"!
Friend lost her dad about 3 months ago and her daughter's husband was diagnosed with throat cancer a couple of weeks after that.He went through several weeks of chemo and is now doing radiation treatments.Friend and her DH are carrying the extra load of helping DD pay bills and house payment and are just about tapped out.Plus helping with the kids.They are all having a hard time of it.SIL's job will be terminated Wed. so he will no longer have insurance. When it rains it pours!

Poor little guy. Sending positive thoughts for him. Keep us informed.

I just talked to my friend and things don't look good for little Alex.He has had a breathing tube in since the surgery(I just found that out)but he has been breathing on his on over it so they were going to take it out today.They decided to do another CT scan first and there is no activity in the cortex.They said if he lives he will be a vegetable and require round the clock nursing care for the rest of his life.He has been on anti-seizure meds (for brain seizures) ever since the surgery and has been sleeping all this time so nobody knows what his condition might be without them.We are still praying for a miracle but if it isn't in God's plan to heal him physically the family still needs our prayers.Thanks everyone.

Sending up prayers for all.

How very sad, the family will be in my prayers.

Poor little man. Will pray for his healing and for his family. I am hoping for miracles for this little angel.

poor little lad, this is heartbreaking

Just wanted to give everyone an update.They took the breathing tube out today and he is breathing on his own.Don't know any more about the brain activity because they didn't do another scan today.He has had feeding tube in his nose but they are going to implant one in his stomach in a few days.His mom and dad had decided last night that if he didn't breathe on his own when they took out the tube they would not request that it be put back in.That it would be a sign it was time for him to go.I guess God isn't finished with the little guy yet! So many people,doctors and others have encouraged them that his brain can regenerate.Thanks again for all the prayers.Keep them going!

Good thoughts and prayers for Alex and the various others in the family that need them.

ole joyful

lillipad - saw your "miracle" post. Any update on Alex? Prayere are still being sent.

I talked to Great Grandma just this evening.She said Grandpa called a few nights ago while they were doing Alex's physical therapy and he was not a happy camper.He was making fussing noises and Grandpa let her listen.He has opened his eyes several times and looked at his mom and dad and they say he is moving his arms and legs more.One day during therapy they put him on his stomach and he was moving his arms and legs like he was trying to crawl.We are hopeful that his little brain is regenerating,as one of the doctors said it could.
This is going to be long but I feel like I have to tell what happened the day they flew him to Cooks for the surgery.About 5 minutes out his heart stopped and they started working on him.When his grandparents walked into the hospital about 20 minutes later they directed them immediately to the area where they were working on him,telling them that they were doing compressions and that things didn't look good.Just as they walked in the door the doctor said to get the Chaplain,that there was nothing else they could do and they were stopping compressions.Grandpa said he heard a voice say,"Don't stop" so he told them to please not stop.He was standing at the end of the bed and he said it was like he felt a thump on the back of his head as if someone was giving him a shove and the voice said,"Talk to him,talk to him",and before he realized it he was standing at the head of the bed.He said he doesn't remember his feet moving but there he was,10 feet from where he was originally standing! When he started talking to Alex the heart monitor started "blipping".Grandpa told his daddy to talk to him and when he did the blip got stronger.As they kept talking to him it got stronger and stronger and has been beating strong ever since! I don't know if anyone else believes that God can speak to us in a audible voice (and even thump us on the head if we need it) but I surely believe he was talking to Grandpa!
Thanks everyone for all the prayers and I know the family appreciates it too.My friend told them that he was being prayed for here.

I've been looking for an update on Alex and very, very happy to hear Alex is still fighting! If anyone would like to send get well wishes to Alex, is there a hospital address or a family address we could get? Not to be posted on the forum for the world to see for security, could a new thread be started so we could send a private email off forum for information? I've been so wanting to show support to the family and little Alex. Please let us know.
God bless little Alex and family. ((((((((((Alex)))))))))

Thanks for the update. We are keeping the little guy and his family in our prayers. The story about his grandfather is giving me goosebumps. When my twin sisters were born, the doctor said that there was no hope for either one, but they survived and thrived.

I read this post, went looking for updates, and read those, too. This is incredible. Sending special thoughts to little Alex and his family. I know the Lord spoke to me twice before - once as a little girl and once as an adult. The last time He whispered in my left ear, so I know there had to be reason He spoke to Alex's grandpa. Stay hopeful.

Lilliepad, through tears in my eyes I thank you for this update. You bet I believe God can bop us on the head, give us shoves, talk to us in any manner He wishes. As long as we HEAR him, and do as he asks, He's always there for us (even when we aren't doing his will). There's been to many miracles happen to NOT believe.
Many continued prayers for Alex. I'd like an address to send a card too also.
Leslie

Isn't that wonderful. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. May he continue to improve with every update.

I have an address for Alex.If anyone wants it e-mail me through my page here and I'll get it to you.I know it would thrill them to know so many are praying for him.

I've been away from the computer for over a week. Still praying for our Alex.
