MarieBrewer Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 My baby grandson went in for his hernia repair only to find out that his cough had gotten much worse and now he has pneumonia. Surgery postponed until July 19. Neurology apt. is still Jul 15 to see about his very weak muscles. The drs. that saw him yesterday wanted to know if the mom (DDL) is aware of his condition. Oh my yes!!! She told me today that because he was born so fast and his apgar (spelling ?) score was 1 at birth, they are concerned w/mental retardation due to lack of oxygen. What next? Thank you for all the prayers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Marie, OH my you poor thing. It sounds like he had a hard birth and that little guy is sure going through a lot, huh? I sure hope he recovers from the pneumonia quickly and really glad they discovered it before the surgery. I sure hope they find an answer on the 15th about his muscle condition. I\'ll keep him in my prayers! All you can do is hug and love on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Marie, DH & I will continue to be praying for your little grandson and the family too. We know how hard it is to have a sick family member. The Lord knows too and will be right there with all of you as you travel this very unfamilure road.

quiltermidwife Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Marie Your little grandson sounds as though he is going through it at the moment but with all the prayers, love and support he is in a good place. These little ones are tougher and more resilient than we give them credit. Hang on in there for the best outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracie Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Marie, So sorry to hear of your grandson, my prayers are with you and your family! I had a girlfriend who went through a lot of the same things with her son. They had so many tests done on that little one. They did finally come up with a diagnosis, and it was SMA, spinal muscle atrophy, he is now almost 5 and he is doing very well! The diagnosis was very scary but they are having great success with some new treatment. There are many levels of SMA, it might be worth checking into.
