Prayers for Syphon
For those of you who are the praying type, and those of you who aren't, prayers and good wishes are desperately needed for Syphon and his family. His son is in the hospital after he stopped breathing last night and had no pulse. He was resuscitated, with very little brain activity, and is now showing some small improvements but is not out of the clear yet.

Re: Prayers for Syphon
I don't even know what to say, everything I think of seems so inadequate, but sending every prayer and good thought I have.

Re: Prayers for Syphon
Thanks, guys. I know Syphon appreciates it greatly. At last check (about an hour ago), there were some very minor improvements but not enough to consider little guy stable and okay. It's very much a waiting game but mom and dad are cautiously optimistic, considering he's made it this far and has shown even the little (where little is still significant) improvement he has.

Re: Prayers for Syphon
The doctors gave him a reflex test today and he failed. They're doing some other tests to determine brain activity but things aren't looking good. If he fails the next reflex test on Tuesday, and the doctors are fairly certain he will as they have never seen someone pass the second when they failed the first, it's almost likely he'll be declared brain dead. The MRI and EEG results will help determine the diagnosis, pending bad Tuesday results.
I feel physically ill and can't even begin to imagine how Syphon and wife are feeling.

Re: Prayers for Syphon
I am so heartbroken. Sending so much love to that family.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

Re: Prayers for Syphon
Been thinking about Syphon and family all day. I can't imagine what they're going through, but if there is any comfort to be had, I hope with all my heart they find it.

Re: Prayers for Syphon
I know that as cruelly short as his life was, it was a life filled with love. I can’t imagine your sorrow. Heartbroken for you and will continue thinking of and praying for you and yours.

Can I just say how much I hate people? Someone literally said this to us at lunch today:
"Oh, your baby died? Don't worry. You can have another one."

She then proceeded to tell us that she could understand why my wife was mourning, but that it "doesn't make sense" for me to be.

I'm sorry I haven't been around here, but I followed Alea's posts on fb. And I've been heart-broken for you guys. Brian cried. It hit him really hard.
So much love and prayers for you and your wife and both of your families.
