Update on Sebastian

Hello Evewryone

Well here it goes, Thursday morning Bas feels a little sore but decides to go to school anyways. By 9.30 a little friend of his tell the teacher that he is not doing well and that he looks reaaly sick. The teacher calls Connie..(trudy was at the auction and i was in the plane) and connie brings him to the clinic.. The clinic immediately calls for an ambulance and they bring him (sirens and all)to the hospital, The hospital cannot understand why he is not responding to treatments and the put him unconsciouse with morphine immediately . They cant controll the swelling in his larynx and then they put a tube in his throat and put him on a respirator because he was not breathing on his own power (his voice box was closed due to how inflamed it was). The hospital called "childrens hospital" and the "medivac team" transfered him to "childrens" via ambulance.

I met him at the hospital after having dropped dad off and i saw him for the first time, lying in the ambulance full of tubes and pipes and monitors. I follow them in and watch no less that 5 doctors and 3 nurses go to work on him in an "isolation room" they take me away and tell me that he will now go into OR. They have to take him off morphine and wake him up only to immediately put him out totally to do a seriouse inspection on him.

Half hour later a doctor tell us that he "hopes" that is a Bacterial infection in his larynx, wind pipe, that has spread into the bronchia in his lungs. When i ask what could it else be, he says we wont talk about that until we know that it is not the first diagnosis.

I am allowed to go in again to see him and the he becomes stabilized. I spend the night there.
this morning they are still doing tests to isolate the exact strains (5 in total) of the bacterium that are still found in the pus that came out of his lungs the night before. They are currently doing some more tests but he should come out of icu this afternoon. He has his own room where he will be moved to out of icu but he is still considered infectuous, and therefor gets his own room. he is still heavily medicated but is not hooked up to any monitors anymore, and has no sedatives or morphine in him.

Anyways, thanks everyone for the love and care and above all your sincere prayers i really felt uplifted last night.
