And they don't know why. He's done it before, but always because of a vasovagal response from stimulus. This time it was a couple of hours of off and on bagging to keep his heart rate up. It seems to have everyone mystified.
I know everyone is already sending out good thoughts and prayers. We continue to need them. Ike-a-saurus really needs them right now.
I was silly to think that once the difficulty of the trach procedure was over it would be more a time of healing and figuring out what to do next and less a time of tenuous scariness. These past few hours have proven that things are still very precarious.

As I was reading your updates, I was sobbing so hard that my husband came running in from the other room to see what was wrong. I can’t imagine the pain you are in. You constantly amaze me with your strength. I am “praying without ceasing” for you and Ike and your family. I wish I could hug you and make it all better. Much love!!!
