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

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your Dgs is on the mend. What a relief for you all. I'm so happy for you. flowers

hi here I am again with an update and many thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers which must have worked because thankfully he is still with us and not too much damage to his heart although there is some. The saddest thing is he has completely lost sight in one eye and might lose the eye its self. However we are so very lucky to have him as the doctors didnt hold out much hope on friday. So onwards and upwards and thank you again for your very kind thoughts

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

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.

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.

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. ❤️

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 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.

I'm so sorry to hear about your precious grandson. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please let us support you, canarygirl.
Its the very least we can do to let you know how much we are behind you during what sounds like the most terrible of times.

Canarygirl1 Thu 11-Oct-18 22:18:25

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

Chewbacca Thu 11-Oct-18 22:17:53

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
