Update on Ethan's Condition 😭❤️🩹😭
Yesterday, we were supposed to take Ethan for his immunization to catch up on his delayed vaccines. However, the center required a doctor’s check-up first, so we had to head back home. On the way, we noticed that Ethan had been sleeping longer than usual, even though it was already time for his feeding. When we tried to wake him up, he wasn’t responding. I kept trying, but he wouldn’t wake up or even cry. Despite being on oxygen, his levels weren’t improving.
We rushed him to the Heart Center, and by the time we arrived, he was struggling to breathe. The doctors said his heart couldn’t handle the pressure anymore, and he needed to be intubated. Suddenly, his heart stopped beating for a few minutes. The medical team had to perform CPR and give him emergency medication to revive him. Thankfully, his heart started beating again, but he needed to be transferred to the PICU. Unfortunately, the ICU was full, so we had no choice but to wait in the ER.
That night, his oxygen levels and heart rate kept going up and down. Then, his heart stopped again. The doctors and nurses rushed to save him, and all we could hear was them trying everything to bring him back. For nine minutes, his heart wasn’t beating. We had no idea what was happening, but we are beyond grateful that he fought his way back to us.
The doctors have told us that Ethan is still in critical condition and that what happened could happen again. This was already the second time, and we need to prepare ourselves for any possibility. He is not out of danger yet.
Right now, Ethan has a fever, but thank God, what happened last night has not repeated, and we are praying that he continues to fight. We are still waiting for him to be transferred to the PICU. His right lung has collapsed (Atelectasis), and doctors are treating it with antibiotics. Because of this, his surgery will be delayed again until he is stable.
We humbly ask for your prayers for Ethan to overcome this battle. He is going through so much, and we are doing everything we can for him. As a parent, my heart is completely broken seeing my son like this knowing you cannot do anything but to wait. So please, please help us pray for him. 😭😭😭
If you are able to help us in any way, we would be deeply grateful. We are still working on the funds for his surgery, and this new challenge has added to our struggles. No matter how big or small, your help means the world to us.
Please help us reach more people by sharing this post. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts. 😭❤️🩹❤️🩹
