Road to recovery
6 September 2019
Hey everyone
I am terribly sorry for the delayed update. It has been a very crazy, intense and emotional two weeks. Over the last two weeks that we have been in starship, Zayne has had his kidneys shut down and he went into complete renal failure, he was transferred to the intensive care unit, he began dialysis, he was sedated for 13 days AND he had his open heart surgery yesterday. The surgeons managed to remove all of the endocarditis which was causing problems all over my sons body and also sent more infection to his brain and started a new infection on his femur. They also managed to repair the leaky heart valve temporarily. He most likely will need a further operation in the distant future but after this ordeal, we can deal with anything. He is on a very intense 6 week course of antibiotics and he is at risk of becoming reinfected with the staph aureus infection but we are hoping and praying that that doesn’t happen. My son is such a little fighter, and now a heart warrior. He is on the mend and is being sedated for one more day to rest, and tomorrow he will be waking up. Thank you everyone for your kind and very generous donations. You have no idea what this means for our family xoxo
