He stayed awake more, sat up, played & even posed w/his surgeon Dr. Levitt. We learned Dylan also has an immunoglobulin deficiency, his body tremors are a result of the trauma he's been through & we're still waiting on more results. A busy day filled with cautious optimism. Baby steps! A big thanks to all who think of Dylan. It means so much to us."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We are optimistic that Dylan's infection & mental state are on the mend. His biggest issues are his weakness & refusal to eat. He's getting nutrition from a PICC line but we need him stronger before we can consider taking him home. Oleg went home to the kids tonight and heads to work tomorrow. From now on, I get Ronald McDonald all to myself:)"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"If there is one thing to know about Dylan, he will never turn down a pretty face. It took three pretty faces to get him to eat a small cup of ice cream today. It was the only thing he ate but it's progress. His spirit is back & now we just have to convince him to eat. We are turning off the nutrition tomorrow & hoping for the best. Thank you for reading my posts & checking in on his well being. It makes the four walls of a hospital room with no window feel much bigger:)" Melissa, Dylan's amazing mom!</span><br />

We have a long road ahead of us but we know Dylan is a fighter & is on the right track. On a sad note, the baby next to Dylan passed away today.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dylan has Emanuel Syndrome and had surgery last week in a hospital a few states away from his home. All seemed to be going well until last night. Here are some posts from his mother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Melissa: "Our worst nightmare...we are back in the OR with a complication. He's in bade shape worse than any day in (the other hospital). Thank goodness for SIUH. The pediatric ER is amazing. Please keep him in your thoughts."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">then</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Dylan is being transported by ambulance to the ICU at Children's Hospital. It's bad. They think it is Enterocolitis/obstruction."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">then</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Dylan is in the intensive care unit at Cohen's Children Hospital. The doctors believe it is enterocolitis. He is not conscious and not doing well. Please think of him all day today. He needs everyone to pull for him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and most recently</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Dylan is in critical but stable condition tonight. He's still not up but he looks better & he is in great care. He's alive thanks to the quick thinking of some amazing Dr's & nurses."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I am asking you to please pray and please pass this on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(When I get permission, I will post his photo, he is a handsome guy!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you.</span><br />

Some are home caring for chronic health needs too. There won't be carefree frolicking in the park, brunch or handmade construction paper cards and gifts. The sound won't be melodious voices but the beeping of medical alarms. Also remember to pray for those spending Mother's day with a child in Heaven. I don't say any of this to bring you down but to make you aware of those who need your prayers. Even with my experience, I still need to be reminded.</span>Jemelenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09082191275070224847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890978127425282581.post-52818431961075049712010-04-28T16:14:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:14:40.070-07:00Ezekiel is home now!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you to all who prayed for Ezekiel.

Last night he was rushed backed to the hospital with major issues including possible liver failure, low blood pressure and dangerously low blood sugar. Ezekiel was born with several serious birth defects and medical anomalies. You can visit his <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/ezekielcorbin">Caring Bridge Page</a> for his story.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Please pray for Ezekiel and his mommy Chelsea who is a worn out mom, parenting on her own. It is stressful, lonely and often painful. If you have a prayer list, prayer chain or intercessor group, please add him to your list.

When you are a resident for months at a time, one of the only ways to keep your sanity is to make the room your own so moving is just one more thing on an already worn out family. Especially when the next move they want to make is HOME! Please check her <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/madalynfandrei">Caring Bridge page here</a>.

She is such a sweet peanut and a true inspiration. When I first spoke to her mommy Brandy, she was on hospice and waiting for her g-tub placement. She was 11 month old, born with Trisomy 18 and as most children with this particular genetic make up, was not expected to live past birth.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aurora has never read the medical journals so she hasn't been following them. She has however been a sick little girl lately.

She was not expected to live through childbirth and is already defying the odds. I know firsthand how kiddos with genetic disorders can be fighters.
