Please GFY ... :(
 

Some of you may or may not know but i take care of special need children with my parents
12 of them we have one who has a condition known as citrullinemia ... it is a terminal condition

Today he was taken into the hospital to check his toxin levels in his system
him ammonia level was at 400
they admited him into the hostpial
within 2 hours his levels trippled
he is very close into going into a coma
they may have to fly him out to get dialysis done to get the ammonia out of his system.
If they can't he will pass....


He is a 10 year old boy who lives for swimming and his xbox 360 that i got for him.


Please pray to whoever you pray to or just think a positive thought for him


Chris

im praying

Will say a prayer for him

:( sorry to hear that Chris, I hope everything works out for the little guy.

I'm not religious but thinking positive thoughts for him. If donations are required I'll be happy to do what I can.

i'd insert something mean and negative here but i decided not to

Hope he makes it through

Damn, such a shame. And at that age.
My thoughts are with him, and hoping he can pull through.

And yes if any donations help, i'd be more than happy too...

:(

Good choice


I hope everything goes well with him JupZ.

Definitely, I hope the little guy is back to playing his XBOX soon...

Thanks for the postiveness so far
and nofx bro - what you said ... says alot.. even if you dont know ... you are getting soft man ;)

As for donations - NO DONATIONS ARE NEEDED
as he is a foster kid within the state of texas everything is taken care of - if you feel the need please donate to http://www.specialolympics.org/Speci...on/default.htm

Prayers sent.

I've had a lot of contact with dialysis patients. Poor kid, I hope he'll be all right. Kidney problems?

My prayers are sent to the unfortunate lad..hope he pulls through

Kinda sorta
pretty hard to explain - google citrullinemia and it will explain it to you a little
hard to understand really

he has to take bufonal powder and liquid elargintine (spelling on both of those)
to keep his ammonia levels in check and he can only have a certain amount of protein a day and if he goes over it will hurt him but if he does not have enough it hurts him aswell

pretty nasty deal

Goodness.. we wish him the very very best.

Prayers sent from Australia, and our deepest wishes go out to everyone Chris.
I hope the little guy is reunited with his Xbox 360 very very soon :)

Update: His levels have dropped to 50 (suppose to be at 4 ) so they are keeping him there and just running sugar water / laxatives thru his body

They have noticed brain swelling now so they are watching that closey - he is going to lose some day to day functioning skills ... he is already Mentally Retarted as is so we dont know what all could happen.

Thank you for all your postive thoughts

My parents are adding me to his ICU visitors list today.

praying as hard as I can.....a bit emotional over here. I get really choked up when I hear about kids......... :(

I will keep the child, and your family in my prayers. Your family is doing a wonderful thing.

My Thoughts and Prayers for him and you family
