Bryson is back in the Hospital

Bryson is back at Madigan Army Medical Center in the Pediatric Unit. He's not been able to keep down his feeds and started having diarrhea so he's not feeling too good right now. Afraid of dehydration, Dana took him to the ER last night. This is really been a rough Thanksgiving for her and Laura, a dear friend that has moved there.

This past week, one of the nurses left with no notice so that leaves them once again without much needed help. This whole situation just really stinks.

I will be going to Tacoma next month for Dana's birthday, Christmas and New Years. Hopefully I can offer some assistance but will need a lot of teaching and coaching as I don't know how to take care of Bryson's newfound needs. I will gladly do anything for Dana, Bryson, Travis and of course Laura so they can have some much needed relief.

I hope everyone has had a good Thanksgiving.

Prayers needed

Please keep Bryson in your thoughts and prayers. He is having some very serious heart issues. His heart rate keeps dropping dangerously low and is having arrhythmia's. This past week or so, he's been having a difficult time keeping his food down and he is very sick right now. We are all very worried at this point and all that can be done is just keep him comfortable. Dana held him all night long.

She contacted Travis through an emergency call through the Red Cross and he called her back shortly afterward.

I have just talked to Dana by phone and Bryson is doing better this morning. His heart rate has returned back to normal levels. It was a very rough night though and she hopes take him to the doctor tomorrow to find out what is happening to our precious BEAN. We hope that we can have some answers soon.
