Today's update

stillwaiting12

So I posted that we had our care conference today. Not good! It's nothing we didn't already know, but it's really tough to hear the words that your son is 'critically ill' and finally I just asked, is he goin to die. The neo responded with 'it's a real possibility'. He has an infection that he's just not kicking with the antibiotics. The brain bleed is a real issue, of course, but it's the least of my worries at the moment. We need to get him well before we worry about any kind of delays later in life. Then tonight when we went for our evening visit he just wasn't his active self. He hardly opened his eyes and wasn't moving and grabbing at his tube etc like normal. I asked his nurse and she told me that she was concerned about it herself. She noticed the same thing and said he wasn't showing her any signs of what exactly could be wrong, but that she was going to be war big him like a hawk tonight and if anything changed she would call me immediately. To top off the day we had, the baby behind Michael died tonight while we were there. The baby was just born this morning, and at 23 weeks exactly. I couldn't help but cry with the family. It brought back so many memories of when we lost our little girl last year and also so many raw emotions from the day we just had. I am emotionally exhausted at this point. I just don't know what to think or feel. I want to stay As strong as I possibly can for my little man, but it's so so hard! We are hoping he was just tired from his day today and he wasn't being lethargic for any other reasons. Please pray that he isn't in any kind of pain and that he will fight through this nasty bug he has and begin his road to improvement.
