Updates on AVERY. (good news update pg 33 post 489!)

[disfanatiks]

We have been praying since 2:15pm and will continue.

Ok....praying hard here....I know that infection can get in through those lines...darn it all, that is how Tom ended up with cellulitis, of course, they will not admit that but other nurses have told me that is how bacteria gets in..

So, if they put in new pic lines, they cannot use it right away.. Can he take medication by mouth because they do have to get the meds, right?

Oh Ann.. hugs to you, and to Avery, please God take care of him....get him off this rollercoaster and back to some normalcy so that he can fight this disease.

Just praying so hard for all of you tonight - I have a feeling that Avery is going to turn the well-corner very soon. It is heartbreaking to see a child so ill when we as mothers, grandmothers are supposed to make everything "better" for our little ones. Barbara

 

[MerryPoppins]

I'm praying even harder. Hang in there Avery. You can beat this!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

You guys are still in my prayers..you can beat this Avery!

 

[snappy]

I am so rooting for Avery's little body to fight that infection.

I hope he and his parents get a break soon and the tide turns with the infection so they can breathe easier.

Like Merry, I find the pictures help me focus my prayers on that little guy. It is shocking that a child who looks so very healthy in those pictures could be dealing with this now.

His procedure went well and we are hoping for an uneventful, restful night. It will take about 30 hours, which is this time tomorrow night, for them to determine whether the yeast thing was in the central line (that would be good since it's now out) or in his blood system itself (not good because the anti-fungal meds don't seem to be working)

Marsha I do not know how they handled meds for the few hours he couldn't use the new lines

THanks again everyone for your prayers and thoughts

God love this sweet boy.....thanks Ann for keeping us updated...this is the first place I come each morning and before I go to bed. Praying for Avery tonight as I fall asleep and hope that he has a good night with no problems. Ann, I hope you are sleeping too, stress is not good for any of us, so please do try to rest when you can and eat too....

Hugs to you all and night..

 

[disfanatiks]

Ann,

I am thinking of you early this morning and hope that you had a restful night. Praying today for positive news and a sense of peace and strength for you all today and each day that comes. We are holding you all close in our prayers and our hearts and sending only positive thoughts your way. Even in our evening dinner prayers, Savannah has added Avery. Although many miles separate us, please know that we are with you in spirit.

Teri

Today we have a small u-haul and a few helpers coming to move our larger furniture....yes in all this craziness we are moving across town to our new home....sort of piecemeal since it is just across town. (thank goodness )

No news is good news throughout the night!! Usually it is mid-late morning when we get an update after morning rounds so I will update as soon as I can.

Again we are so uplifted by the support from you all!!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Such darn cute pictures, Ann, both the older one and the new one. What a handsome little guy.

Good to hear the updates; prayers and good wishes continue for Avery, Ann.

Take things easy on yourselves with all the work stuff.

 

[safetymom]

Ann, looking forward to positive news today. Wow, you are one strong lady moving in the midst of this. Sending

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Checking in to see how Avery is doing.....update us when you can and try not to stress yourself about the move, it will get done....

Hugs all around and prayers this am for Avery....hope you had a good night and are on the mend today..

 

[NHAnn]

Avery has begun to get breathing assistance froma respirator (PAP) today.
A doc told them DS and DIL this morning that in his current condition they could be looking at this critical stage being at least 2 weeks- maybe as long as 6 weeks, and they are feeling rather overwhelmed at managing it all....Avery's illness, the girls, implications for work and life in general.

So it all makes trying to manage a move not very important at all and we are all just taking it moment by moment.

A brain-addled faux pas on my part just happened...DD calls from school awhile ago... and in my head for the last 2 weeks I have had her coming home for Xmas breaks on Monday, the 18th. (she has her car ar school and it is under an hour away.) SO anyway, she said she was getting dropped off at the student parking lot to get her car and bring it back to the dorm. So me thinking she's headed out off campus later to the mall or movie or dinner says.."Oh where are you going?" Uuuuummmm HELLOO mom, I'm coming home for break!! OOPS! Guess no favorite home-cooked meal was planned...LOL

 

[safetymom]

Oh my goodness. My heart is breaking for all of you. Hugs to all of you. More prayers on the way.

Thats funny Ann...but I'm sure you're forgiven

Continued prayers for Avery......

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Checking in on Avery.....read the update and thought to myself how do you carry on with the everyday of it and maintain your job and the rest of your family... God Bless your daughter and her husband, they must be so worn out. Hugs to all and most especially to Avery, lots of prayers and healing hugs coming your way..

I am with Safetymom.. my heart is breaking here too.. Ann, hang in there, you are one strong woman and I am praying for you too...

 

[j's m]

Ann, I'll continue to pray for Avery to fight the infection. He is such a beautiful boy, it's so hard to look at that face and hear what he's going through. Just keep the faith that all our prayers will work.

 

[Mrs.Milo]

Ann, continued prayers for Avery and for strength for your DS & DIL, and 2 little sisters @ home.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Checking in this Sunday Morning.. Avery is on my mind quite a bit.. I do hope he had a peaceful night and that the doctors are doing everything possible to help this sweetie..

Ann, hope you too got some sleep......Grandmothers need their rest so that they hold everyone together.....

Update when you can, I know usually late in the afternoon.. prayers going up now...
