We are asking for your prayers....
Last night @ 1015pm we received a call from our adoption consultant. She informed us that Mason was hospitalized b/c he was having difficulty breathing. While at the hospital he actually stopped breathing, so they had to intubate him. We were also told they planned to transfer him to a larger hospital.
We received another call at 0215 letting us know that he had arrived to another hospital, about an hour away from the orphanage. At 7 am this morning we were updated again....praise God he survived the night. He is currently sedated, remains intubated and is on a vent. They opted to sedate him during the night b/c he was so tired....up until that point he had still been making attempts to breathe on his own.
A diagnosis is unknown at this time. I have heard speculations ranging from a virus, heart condition, pneumonia to rsv. I do know he had not been sick at all....this was fairly sudden in onset. When he arrived at the larger hospital they did a chest xray, which showed a "spot". Hopefully they will do another CXR this am and we can get some insight as to what may be going on.
Please keep our son in your thoughts and prayers today. Also pray that the Doctors & Nurses caring for him are filled with compassion and skill. We feel so helpless right now....he is so far away....and so little.
