“Yesterday, the doctor gave us an impossible choice to make. They told us our son would never be able to have any normal function again after his brain injury. They told us that without the ventilator, he would never breathe or swallow or cry again.
They asked if we wanted to leave him on life support or remove his vents to let him pass peacefully. Our hearts were so broken but we made the choice to take him off his ventilator and remove the tube that kept him breathing. We didn’t want our baby boy to suffer anymore.
Family gathered to say goodbyes and the time came when we took the tube out. They told us the chance of him surviving was so slim with the extent of brain injury. With part of his lung collapsed, they expected him to die probably within the evening.
But they don’t know about miracles.
As of right now, our little boy is completely off oxygen and is breathing perfectly. He’s taking his pacifier and can even swallow things. He’s crying and looking/moving around. The doctors said he can’t, but God is saying he will! We’re not anywhere close to being out of the fire yet, but God’s taking care of us while we’re in it!
Keep praying for miracles for our little Isaac! He’s a fighter.”
