I am really not sure how to type this tonight. It is hard to put into words what is going through my head tonight as we saw Weston after surgery. It is hard to see your child in a position such as his with as many tubes and wires hanging from him. If I could give him my heart tonight and take away the pain I would.
After a 5 hour surgery Weston came back to the room for "recovery." Although the nurses assured us that things were normal, Weston began another battle. He couldn't get his blood pressure regulated. The nurses proceeded to give him platelets as well as lots of blood to get the pressures to even out. Things continued to be a struggle for a few hours. Mom and Dad went in to visit him and the nurses kept reassuring us that things were normal. They finally figured it out about 4 hours later when we called to check in again.
The second time we called they informed us that Weston woke up from his medicated sleep and had his eyes open, and was moving his arms. They re-upped his meds to make him sleep some more. The hardest part about this process is knowing that he was awake.
Weston is in a world of hurt currently. We are both struggling because as of right now we can't do anything to help. We both feel helpless and hurt for him. We know that there is nothing we can do... but we don't know what to do about it.
Your continued thoughts and prayers would be helpful if you can. It is hard to see your child with their chest open, and wires running all over their body. My heart aches for parents who have to endure this.
