2-8-12 update for Carson

I am not bringing good news today. In the last month and few weeks especially, Carson has been showing rapid digression of the disease process. Warning, tough words and thoughts to follow.

His brain damage is effecting his brain stem, the control center of your body. We are seeing this through the shutting down of bodily functions. His heart rate has been very low, with times of irregular beats. He has had decreased urine output and bowel movements. With this slowing down, naturally his body is unable to handle much fluid intake. Carson has been requiring more oxygen because he is breathing shallow and has had diminished lung sounds. There have been two days in the last week that we were very worried and could hear God calling our son, however Carson was not ready. We are treating Carson to be comfortable during these times. Please keep Carson in your prayers and that he may have a peaceful and quick journey home to God.

Blessings- Sarah and Jeff
