I wouldnt wish this on anyone.
 

Just got done with 3 days at the hospital with my son logan. he is now about 2 months old. He is still there but i had to get back to work, i gotta save some time off for when he has his valve replacement.

His mytral valve which is deformed and has been regurgitating his blood backwards is only sending about 50% of the blood forward and 50% backwards. In 2 weeks his left ventrical (i think it is the ventrical) has expanded to 3 times its normal size. With all the bloodflow issues it gave him Pulminary Ademia (water in the lungs). And to top it off his overenlarged ventrical is blicking airflow through his left main bronchial tubes. Oh yeah, and also all these issues with delivering oxygen to his tissues has left his blood acidic so they had to give him a blood transfusion.

So now he is drugged and passed out in the hospital, he has tubes running in and out of damn near every orafice.

If we waited even another day to get him to the hospital he would have died that night.

The good news is that after several days of taking a serious nosedive he is finally starting to turn around. His color is looking good, they have been reducing the amount of air given to him in the airtube and he is starting to breathe more on his own, and the pressure in his enlarged ventrical is gone.
He still has water in his lungs though and will be in the hospital for a few more days.

Logan still has the strength to knuckle up and give props to his homies though

Glad to see he's gettin better, keep us updated on how things are going.

Hope hes doing better Jack. If hes knuckling up now..think of what kinda hell will be raised when hes better >:)

Jack dont worry my cousin had a similar issue and she is a teenager now. Ill pray for your family.

Kids having to deal with that stuff is always hard. Kids can recover like superman through stuff like this though. Good to hear hes starting to look better.

we will all keep you and your fam in our prayers

damn dude that's crazy, i'll keep ya'll in my prayers. and good to hear mini-you is turnin' it around and gettin' better. keep us updated on his condition!!

they are taking him off the airtube in about 1/2 hour. he will have something else that will kick in if his breathing fails. So far he is definatly making some progress.
:Woot: :Woot: :Woot: :Woot:

poor little guy hope it all goes well

Jack:

I consider you a friend and I hurt for you. You have done so much for our community here and I know that EVERYONE is thinking about you and your family.

I can also relate as my daughter when she was 11 months old spent 6 months in a hospital and way too much of the time on a ventilator. It is REALLY scarey-ass shit. I bet it is also hard for you to see your son's mom in pain. I think dad's get hit hard with this stuff because they feel for their kids but also the mother.

Your son won't remember any of this shit. I hope things continue to improve and all of you can get home where you belong.
