Gavin admitted to Rady Children’s Hospital

Please keep our lil Spider-Man Warrior in your thoughts and prayers. Gavin was admitted to Rady Children’s Hospital on Friday night as he gave us a big scare. He was fine even while Ferd and I were away on vacation, but on Thursday a few days after we got back, he developed pneumonia and was on antibiotics and was stable that night. On Friday afternoon, my nurse and I took him to see his pediatrician for a follow up and he was doing great while on oxygen, but on the car ride heading home, he started to turn blue and stopped breathing. It was so insanely scary we thought we were going to lose him. Thankfully as soon as I pulled up by my driveway, the paramedics arrived and were able to get a pulse. Gavin was then rushed to the nearest hospital and then was transferred to the PICU at Children’s. Apparently, he has pneumonia in his right lung and his left lung had collapsed. They also detected pseudomonas. He is now intubated and breathing well. His stats are very stable so he is just resting and heavily sedated. Sorry for the wordy description as I know some of you would like to know what had happened. Thank you to all our family and friends who continue to be there for us and reach out through good times and bad. I wanted to send you a picture of Gavin to send positive energy. Please continue to pray and send positive thoughts to our warrior son. He’s a fighter. I know he’ll get through this. Ferd and I are hanging in there and staying strong for our boy. We’ve gone through this before so I know our warrior will fight through it! Isn’t it interesting how life just throws a curveball at you especially when you least expect it and how life can change in a matter of seconds. I’ll try to update more later, but for now, Gavin is ok. – at Rady’s Children’s Hospital San Diego.Please keep our lil Spider-Man Warrior in your thoughts and prayers.
