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

It is so difficult, to say the least, to watch your child struggle, especially for their life. I can't even comprehend the amount of peace, comfort, and grace that the Lord has given you over the last 4+ years through all the trials. Carson, along with his wonderful parents, have touched and changed so many lives. I know God will continue to bless you and others with the life Carson was given. I can't imagine how much you are hurting with your loss. How comforting it is to know that he is healed now!
Love,
DW, Tracy, Bly and Willow
