We thought he'd be all right. He started vomiting and choking and couldn't breathe. He was life flighted with a doctor and 3 emt's to Children's Hosp. last night. Billy said his mommy was suctioning him, but he'd start to breathe and then stop. That went on until the ambulance arrived. I wondered why they didn't give him mouth to mouth, but he said Taylor would breathe sporadically, and then choke again. You can't give mouth to mouth when the patient is breathing. I taught school for children with CP, and accoding to my training, they were right, but it is still frightening. Please pray. We're back to step one. He seems to do well for a few days and then regress.

Jeanie, you and your family are in my thoughts. Please let us know when you hear something. It just isn't fair that someone that little should have to go through all that.

Taylor has been diagnosed with a weak esophagus and milk and possibly soy allergies. The flap to the windpipe does not close as fast as necessary, and if he cannot hold down his food-for whatever reason, he aspirates the fluid. That's why he couldn't breathe. His parents will be trained in CPR, and he will be put on a sleep apnea monitor, which will awaken them if he stops breathing. He will be in the hospital until the doctors are sure they have covered all the bases. I fear this will be an on-going problem. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank all of you for your care.

Keeping little Taylor in our prayers. It does sound like it's going to be work for all, but love will see this through! We know someone a duodenum that doesn't work. They were able to correct that problem with surgery. It sounds like something that might fix itself as he grows, or once he's larger surgery might be an option. Either way, he's a special little guy with lots of people who love him and many people praying for him! :tounge2:

I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Maybe with a diagnosis, the doctors will be able to help Taylor get better soon.

Since Taylor has been diagnosed and his parents have had a bit of training in CPR, the baby is being sent home with the Apnea Monitor, and his parents are supposed to take the full course in CPR. The doctor said it will probably happen again, but they will have the training to deal with it and save his life. It's not very reassuring, but he can't stay in the hospital until he grows out of it, if he does, or until he gets surgery if he doesn't. It's frightening, but the hospital can't justify keeping him now that the test results are back. I thank all of you for your prayers and your kindness. It's been a rough time, and most of the people at the Site have been so supportive and kind. Believe me, I appreciate it, and so do his parents. We won't forget! Remember him in your prayers, please.
