Best Christmas news ever, ...so happy for you and your family

 

[Ferguson K]

I haven’t listed as much information on social media. I’ve kept it to the basics on updares.

24 hours ago my son almost died.

It’s been hard. Really really hard.

He was orange like an Oompa Loompa. Pictures don’t do it justice. He crashed so hard and so quick if we hadn’t have been at the hospital already I can’t imagine what would have happened.

Before we were transferred upstairs we were allowed a little time with his face mask off and to let him look around. It was surreal to be able to hold him and talk to him without all those tubes. He’s off all of his monitors and is only on vital checks now. We’re going to try and nurse on his next feeding. Fingers crossed he latches.

R has been a total godsend through all of this. When my anxiety shot through the roof and I went off on everyone he simply walked away and let me cool off. When he came back he had gone to the truck to get me a change of clothes and some shower supplies.

I feel a little more human after some food and a shower.

My mom was up here with us for about six hours. She’s been staying at home with the animals. I can’t say enough if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have gotten through the last three months. She’s ensured that I am able to do what I need to keep going.

We’re not out of the woods yet with Langdon but we’re doing much better.

Can't imagine going through what you've gone through. Sure hope things continue to progress to the better.

All I can do is reiterate what everyone else has been saying. Bless you for following your instincts and deciding to take him to the hospital when you did. Prayers for his continued improvement.
When a family member picks up the slack like your mom did to help you, she is as close to a saint as you will ever find on this earth. My respect and thanks to her, for you, and for R for understanding you as he seems to.
Hope and prayers for his continuing improvement and that you will be back to normal. Try pumping if you can to keep your milk flow up.

Glad to hear of the improvement and continued prayers for your family

Poor little guy!!! And poor parents too!
I'm glad he is on the mend, hopefully this is the last scare you will have for some time. At least until he can walk and get into trouble on his own.

Wow! I go away for Christmas and come back to this! First I was excited because you had your son. Then I read further and my heart went out to you and R for the worry and agony you were going through. Prayers work and so do good doctors and nurses. I am relieved that Langdon is doing better, hope to hear from you soon. Big hugs to you all. I agree with @farmerjan, your mom is about as close to a Saint on earth that you will ever find. I know where your big loving heart comes from.
