Update on Dante and Noah

Nov 23rd, 2009 by Becky Hotchkiss | 6

Dante had a rough night, and now was pneumonia. The doctors are putting him into a deeper coma to further relax his muscles. Please keep him in your prayers. As of the latest news, Noah is experiencing a lot of pain, but there’s been no change in his condition. The kids are needing your thoughts and prayers more than ever.

    Tonight was a good turning point for my boy Dante. They had to put in a tube into his head to relieve the increased pressure. It is working, his pressure is way down and he is doing good. Now hopefully they can work on the rest of his injuries and check for others. Keep my son in your prayers, they are working.

    Today Dante was taken off the medication that had him in a coma and paralyzed because the docs believed it was causing more thick secretions in his lungs. They put him on a stronger sedative. Hopefully tomorrow things improve.

    Well I am glad to say that Dante had a good day. That is to say he didnt have any major complications. They have ordered an MRI for Friday and that will check for any spinal injuries or neck injuries. He sometimes moves around and opens his eyes but of course doesn’t know what’s going on. Again, we thank everyone for the abundance of gifts, prayers thoughts and love that has been bestowed upon my boy, Noah and Amada. These are special kids and deserve the best love and support that we can give them. Keep the prayers coming and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Update on my boy Dante. Today we received the results of the MRI. We are able to take the neck brace off and then he is looking around. There is no major damage to the brain either. The prayers are working. My son is on the road to recovery, atleast at the beginning. We are still receiving an abundance of love and gifts still and we appreciate it with all our hearts. Thanks again

    The latest on my boy is that the doctors want to take the breathing tube out so he can breath on his own. His brain swelling seems to be able to handle the breathing on his own so the docs are optimistic that this will help with the agitation. I spent the night with him last night and we were up until 4am cause he was so wide awake and agitated by the tube so the docs feel this will help. Thank you again for the prayers and gifts.
