For the past two hours, Roscoe's oxygenation has steadily trended downward. Two hours ago it was in the 91-93 range, about a half hour ago it was in the 88-90 range, and now it is 81-84. We are concerned that this may be the final chapter of Roscoe's story.
The doctors are considering taking him off of the paralyzers so that he can move around a little. I am not sure if this is to stimulate better blood flow, or if it is just so that Alisha and I can gaze into his eyes one last time.
Alisha and I are heartbroken, confused, frustrated, and filled with sorrow. We feel like we have been beaten and God has left us. We know that isnt the case, but its yet another instance where our emotions and intellect are in disagreement. We plan to spend this last day with Roscoe, enjoying the little time we have left. We hope this isn't the end, but in case it is we want to make the most of it.
My prayers are with you as a family. I can't imagine the emotions your feeling right now. I have never met you probably never will as I live in new Zealand but I wanted you to know you've even got strangers praying for you at this extremely difficult time. He will carry you both in this time. Love and prayers becks in Nz.

ReplyDeleteI'm bawling right now.... and praying... love on your precious baby
ReplyDeleteI know that this must be the hardest day of your life. Losing a child is the worst feeling in the world. Just know that God truly does know best. He is holding Roscoe in His Hands...and He wants to comfort you. He loves all of you. Roscoe knows you love him. He will take that to Heaven with him when he leaves this world. Never doubt that. He knows you did all you knew to do. His soul is bigger than his tiny body. I pray you feel the love of God and those of us who weep with you and pray for you. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteLove you three. Our hearts are with yours. God, please have mercy.
ReplyDeleteI can't pretend to imagine what you both are going through right now! What I do know is my heart is sorrowful. I'm praying that you will feel God's presence with you and the peace that only He can give. Your family and friends are on this journey with you and we are here to give you all the love and support you desire. I love Roscoe! I love you, Shaun & Alisha!

ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father please watch over this baby, we place his life into your hands you are the Ultimate Healer Father God, give his parents the strength that they need to endure, and if you should take him home at least his parents can be with him as he makes his transition, in Jesus name AMEN

ReplyDeleteWe love you three and are continually praying and crying at the same time. We can't imagine how you are feeling. Sending strength and love..
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, I pray to you and I ask that you would fill Roscoe’s parents with a deep sense of your peace and grace. I ask that you would surround them with your love and hope. Lord let your unfathomable love carry them through the days ahead. Please, Lord be with the nurses and doctors that are watching over this little boy.
