I wonder if I might ask for a handhold please my lovely grandson was born with a very serious heart condition and although he has grown up very well a huge overwhelming infection has overtaken him stemming from a heart valve and today he has had to have an eye removed due to this infection. He is the light of our life and more poor son is understandably totally distraught and I am so afraid we will lose him please could you pray for him the next few days will show how things are going to be thank you so much

many thanks for all your kind thoughts. Today has been just awful the news just seems to get worse and we are being told the chances are not good. They are a long way from us as he is in a specialist hospital and we will go up tomorrow for the weekend so will update on return. I have to say knowing how much many of you have to deal with that your kind words have toughed me beyond words so thank you again

My heart goes out to you all. At my darkest hours in the course of Paws illnesses, the one thing that kept me going was my faith in the expertise of the highly qualified and experienced staff in the specialist hospitals. However bad things got - and they did - there was nothing they hadnt encountered or dealt with before so as God works through the caring hands of the doctors and nurses treating your DGS I hope and pray your worst fears will not be realised
Thank you for updating us ☹️flowers

Oh Canarygirl I've only just caught up with this. You must all be devastated, and what an ordeal for the poor little boy. I hope you have better news tomorrow and that they can come up with a miracle XX

What a dreadful time for you and your family Canary; its just all so damned unfair, isnt it. I hope that you have better news when you go tomorrow, but please know that so many are wishing you, and your Grandson, the very best and will be thinking of you. flowers

mawBroon you were one of the ladies I as thinking of as I had read your posts and agree that all the staff are amazing and dedicated. Both the eye and heart staff are so kind when we ring and have helped the parents deal with this. They have a room to be able to stay and as they are 3 hours from home and us it is a godsend. What I started to say was in the midst of your sadness you have taken the time to comfort a stranger thank you so much every one of you

Canarygirl my hopes and prayers for your grandson are alongside everyone else's.

At times like this Grans-net is indeed a net, a safety-net, an ether-net, shot through with invisible but tangible support.

Adding my best wishes Canarygirl, if your GS is where I think he is it is a brilliant hospital.

Canary what an awful time for you and your family. I’m glad you’re able to travel to be with them, you will all find comfort each other’s arms. Praying things will not develop as you fear they might. x flowers

Canarygirl, my heart and thoughts are with you. ? Having experienced the pain of a tiny grandson with a terrible life threatening illness (he is doing well ❤️) and another close little one born only a week ago with very different life threatening issues I do so understand the heartbreak as you watch not only the little one struggling for life but the pain that your adult child suffers as a parent.

Even though we Grans are far distant just know that others do understand the terrible pain and the feeling of complete helplessness you are dealing with. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Sometimes it is just focussing on tiny steps that gets you through. ❤️

Auntieflo Fri 12-Oct-18 10:39:12

Canarygirl, all of our prayers will be with you, all through each and every day. As we are so scattered, someone will be praying at any time.
Grannyknot put it beautifully, as have others, put into words those which do not always come as I write.

GrandmaCornwall Fri 12-Oct-18 10:57:24

My thought are with you. We have been through similar with our Grandson and sepsis, a very dark time indeed. Stay strong and I hope there will be light at the end of your tunnel.

Synonymous Fri 12-Oct-18 12:11:20

May the Father of all compassion and the God of all healing bless your GS Canarygirl and keep him in the palm of His hand for ever. May He lift you and your family ever closer to Him in every way so that you will know that He is carrying you and all your burdens and that you can with confidence lean on Him whatever your circumstances. flowers xx

Fennel Fri 12-Oct-18 12:27:57

Amen to that prayer.
