Emergency!!!!!

I'm sorry this will be a quick post, but I wanted to get the information out to you so you could pray. Last night at 8pm Little Bug had a rapid downward spiral. 911 was called and within minutes there were firetrucks, medic's and ambulances in our neighborhood. Connor could hardly breathe and he wasn't getting enough oxygen even though he was getting it straight in his nose and mouth. His naked little body was so so grey and pale it was hard to even look at him. He had the look of panic and intense fear in his little eyes and there was nothing I could do to console him. We strapped him naked into his carseat and then onto an adult sized gerny (sp?) and then into the ambulance. From right outside of our house we took another lights and sirens ride to Children's Hospital. By the time we got to the ER Connor was struggling so badly that his body and clamped down and there were no veins available to draw blood from and he was spiking a temp in the high 104's. It became evident that this was the worst that Connor has ever been and so they rushed to get the breathing tube in place. He is fully sedated at the moment and the ventulator will remain in place until surgery. There are many questions and they now know that Connor cannot wait any longer. They will meet tomorrow AM to discuss the time frame for surgery and we are gathering that it will be this week.

Thankfully Randy's fishing trip got cut short because of boat problems so when he called to let us know that he was on his way home the medics were here and my mom was able to tell him what was going on. He then met up with us at Children's Hospital a couple hours later. My mom followed behind the ambulance and Auntie Maureen met us at the hospital along with our pastor. It was a critical night and the status hasn't changed much except for the fact that Connor is receiving the breathing support he needs. Randy & I finally left his side at 3:30am to get some sleep. There weren't any sleeping rooms available so we slept in the back of my parents CRV. Let me tell you, this was quite an adventure. This morning there has been no change and Randy & I actually came home to pull together the loose ends of life right now. We are trying to prepare for another long haul stay up at Children's. Connor is definately in critical condition and this surgery is going to be a very high risk surgery. We need prayer like never before. Selfishly we would ask very specifically that you all pray that God would spare Little Bug's life and allow him to make it through this surgery with great success. God is bigger than Connor's illnesses and He is a healing God. We trust in Him to preform a miracle on his behalf. Lord, in the midst of this crisis we trust in you. We lean on your word and we have faith to believe you for what only you can do!!!! Amen
