Thursday - Day Six

Last night the nurses gave Karson a bath, washed his hair and shaved his face, so when we walked in he looked sooooo good. The EEG that was done today didn't show any different brain waves than the one that was done on day three. One good thing that we did receive from it, was that he has not seizured. He had another round of dialysis today and did very well. Tomorrow they are going to perform a tracheotomy so the ventilator will not have to go through his mouth and will go through his neck. Also, they are going to move his feeding tube from his mouth to a direct line through his stomach. Both of these procedures will relieve any discomfort that he may have in his mouth. Other than that, there are no other updates. Tomorrow will be a big day for him!!!

  11. Dear Family,
    I am so upset by this news. I truly loved your family and felt so welcomed by your hospitality and warmth. You made me feel welcome and loved and I will never forget your generosity. I loved your son and will never lose that love. I hope everything works out. I know things heppen every day to those who are strong enough to handle life's stressors. Karson is one of those people who can get through anything and who can appreciate things that are given to him. I love you guys and will always be here for anything you may need. Never hesitate to call. xoxo

    I hope you are feeling better. I am sad that you are sick. I want you to feel good soon. It makes me feel bad that my Grandma is sad. Kars I love you so much even though you snore really loud.

  27. Sending Love, Light and Prayers to Karson!!
    I haven't seen Karson in way too long but I remember so well the cute little boy I babysat, that called me his girlfriend. He was always WAY more obedient than his two older sisters ;) I have faith that Karson has been and will continue to be strong and do whatever he can to get through this. He is so blessed to have such a wonderful family to be there to surround and support him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all also. Stay strong and have faith. I will ask others for prayers on his behalf.
    Hugs,
    Ellery (Karson's favorite babysitter of all time;)
