I haven't had much time to post lately, but I'm so glad to hear the baby is getting bigger. Let us know when he comes off the ventilator.
I got back into town Tuesday night and on Wednesday, the boys and I planted a small garden in the back yard. It's still an ugly back yard, but I'm making slow progress. We planted tomoatoes, peppers, okra (my youngest wanted that), eggplant, and some herbs. I'm hoping they learn to care for something with our garden since the three of us planned, prepared, and planted it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.
When is your surgery scheduled? Let us know so we can say a prayer or two for you Pammie.
Hi Pam..thanks for the update on your little grandson. I think about him often, and am still praying for him. Also, I will be praying for you and your donor in the upcoming weeks. I truly believe that "All things work for good for those that love the Lord". We may never know the "reasons" for all the "stuff" that happens in our lives, but in the end, I truly believe that God has a master plan and that one day it will all come together for us. You sound great, as always, so positive, such an inspiration! You're the best! TC
Good Evening All Thanks for the continued prayers an concern for me and my grand-son. My donor passed her final test. I have an infection from the breast biopsy they did on me. I will see a specialist Monday. I am coming to you this evening with a very heavy heart. My son (grand-son's Dad) called last night and ask me to meet his wife's parents at his house, that he and his wife were on their way there. I said sure. I ask if anything was wrong. My son choked up and said I will see you at the house. I met the inlaws and my son and daughter-n-law arrived within a few minutes. They had met with the baby's (grand-son) doctor and they were told some very bad news. Our baby has severe brain damage. The part of the brain that tells him to breathe is damaged. The part of the brain that controls his motor skills are damaged. He has severe ear infection. My grand-son is a very sick little boy. I come to you tonight because we know that God is the only that can heal this sweet baby. Please my dear friends please say a prayer for my sweet WILL. Thanks in advance. God Bless you all I love each and every one of you.
Your grandson has my prayers, as do you. I am visualizing your immune system obliterating that infection, and your grandson becoming the best he can be. Your Will is a little trooper! That much is evident already. Medicine is coming up with new miracles every day. While it is sad that he has damage to his nervous system, it is a good thing that they discovered it. Now they will be careful about trying to let him breath on his own. He will be safer than he was.
Hugs to you and your family, Pammie. I can only imagine how you feel. God has him in his hands. Wish I could say or do something to make it better, all I know is that baby was brought here for a reason.
Dear Pammie, Re the infection: Married to a doc for 25 years gives me some insider info. For me and d and X, Cipro was the antibitic that knocked out EVERYTHING. We all respond differently to different ones. If you can't shuck that infection ...ask your doc about Cipro. It's fairly expensive but dang it works wonders on us.
What a wonderful name, WILL. Yes, that boy has a great WILL to live. My girlfriends' baby 18 years ago had the same prognosis: brain damaged (actually undeveloped) so that it didn't signal baby to breath. Suspected blind and deaf to start. Well, baby boy is captain of football team, quite the scholar, hears, sees and breathes just fine.
Babies can survive most anything if they are given nourishment and TIME. Preemies need TIME to have that brain start working out of the womb. Prayers and meds allow his brain the time to heal itself. I'm counting on him to pull through this. I'm counting on the docs to give him the time he needs to heal himself. And I'm counting on all our prayers to reach God so that he gives us TIME with WILL here before calling him home some day long into the future.
I'm so sorry to hear about little Will. He's been in my prayers all along and will continue to be, as will all of you.
It's been one trial after another for you and yet your faith remains so strong. I know that's what gets you through. I'm so happy that your donor passed the test and I'm sure you'll get that infection cleared up quickly.
Give Will a big hug and kiss from Auntie Sadeyez. I'll try to call you later.
Pammie Like the others I am sorry about the news about baby Will I love what Gd wrote, I think she is right on, with the wonderful faith you have, my gut tells me baby Will is going to continue to be a fighter, like his grandma!
Please know we are praying/thinking/loving you Pammie XX

(((Pammie))) I'm so sorry that Will is so sick. There just isn't anything I can say to express my sorrow at this news. I will continue to pray for Will and you daily. Love you, Jill
Will has my prayers. I have to tell you a story about my son Jack. When he was 7 years old he had encephalitis and we were told that he would die - that he had hours to live because all of his vital organs were shutting down.
But he didn't, he held on, and then when they thought he would survive, they told us there was massive brain damage and we would have to see how much. He did have to learn to walk again, but that boy is now a Junior Scholar and is as smart as anyone I know. I did read up on it and found that children's brains do have the capacity to regenerate, but adults' do not. So keep that in mind.
Doctors always tell you the worst. Please remember that. You don't ever know what the future will bring. We're all pulling for little Will Pammie.
