Would call but it is difficult to talk right now.
Parker was admitted to the hospital this afternoon and has a serious form of bacterial meningitis. He is currently intubated, has a central line in and is under heavy sedation. The bacteria is very aggressive and has attacked the part of the brain that controls the heart and the lungs. He is now on antibiotics to combat but they are not sure how the treatment will impact and the next 24-48 hours will determine his survival. We are at the hospital Necker which is a specialist pediatric hospital in Paris.
Assuming he makes it through this there is a clear risk of neurological damage and they have no way of telling at this stage if there is permanent damage and to what extent.
I woulld ask you to please pass this on to the rest of the family or friends you may know (yours are the only adresses I have on my blackberry) and also ask them to have a special prayer for our little boy. We are working through a lot of possibilities at this stage and don't have a clear vision on probabilities but will keep you updated as we go along.
I have my blackberry on and will look at my e-mails from time to time. We are only allowed into his room intermittantly and there is no phone number to the room. Rach is at our place watching the girls.
We are a little bit late in your family picture.
ReplyDeleteLife taught us that the Lord needs special and loving parents for His special and loving children who go through life in a journey that we do not understand yet. Frere and sister Bonny believe that it takes chosen parents to take care of speial children who will reach their complete physical, mental and spiritual maturity later.
We admire you and ask our Father His blessing on Parker and his family.
