Is anyone awake who can pray right now for my boy?


Recommended Posts

He's in the E.R. after swallowing one of those 1" long tiles from the game Pears. The X-rays are not picking it up, hard to see the tiles they placed in FRONT of his body... they're trying to get him to eat and he won't. He's becoming increasingly distressed. Dh is going to try to take him for a walk to distract him, then try toast again. Please pray for a) his comfort b) that he will eat without incident c) that this tile will pass or let us know where it is from the eating test, and d) wisdom and discernment for the doctors. There is a huge chance the tile is lodged in his throat.

 

Thank you for joining me in prayer...

UPDATE from post 53:

Thank you all! I haven't slept much, at his side all night. No coffee yet. Please forgive any holes or typos.

It was looking nasty last night, and that was why I posted here. The hospital initially would not release him until he ate some toast. He has severe autism and behaves much like a 2 or 3 year old... he did not want to eat a bite, he became increasingly agitated and they did not like that... they can't see the silly tile in the x-rays. My dh brought a few game tiles with him, which they x-rayed at different angles and they barely showed up. So, when he refused to eat and became agitated they thought perhaps some sleep will help, and they sent him home for close monitoring. My concern was if it is lodged in his throat, it could move and block his breathing. They doubted that, but try to tell a mom that! Weirder things have happened! So they want us to bring him in if he refuses to eat, if he has any symptoms related to eating or digestion (such as drooling, vomiting, cramping) and he is to have another x-ray in a couple days. I spent the night in his room, and so many times I thought he stopped breathing. He woke a half hour ago and has so far refused to eat. He has grabbed his stomach and cleared his throat, so I don't know where the tile is.

Please pray he eats and keeps it down. This tile is a bit too big to pass on it's own, with the longest side being 1"... so depending on the angle of it, he might struggle there.

Off for coffee...

thank you all for praying. I do appreciate it!
