Several of you have PM'ed me to find out how Casey is doing, and I wanted to pass along the following:
Casey was dismissed from Texas Children's Hospital yesterday,and has spent more than half his life in one hospital or another. They have run many tests, and still have an MRI to do before they will determine a prognosis. However, so far nothing has been found wrong, except that he keeps having breathing episodes....he will just stop breathing for no reason. They sent him home once again with a heart monitor, and will continue this for the next few months. After the MRI, they will have him on physical theraphy, thinking that perhaps his muscle structure just isn't strong enough to keep his heart beating. (Never heard anything like that before, and I think they are grasping for straws at this point.) Nevertheless, after the MRI, they will keep monitoring and hope that he grows out of this. In the meantime, Mom and Grandmother are not getting much sleep. I keep waiting for the phone to ring in the middle of the night, and poor Brittany is there with him constantly, worrying that she will be prompted into action when the monitor alarm goes off. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. We all are hoping to have a resolution to this soon, but in the meantime, any strength we can gain from all who know of him is appreciated. Hugs.
Judy
