Final Hours

Joeys journey may be coming to its final chapter. We have reached a point where the medical team can only do so much for Joey. Joeys little body has been through major events in a short amount of time and many things are working against him. He is showing signs that he is fighting a losing battle and chances of survival are extremely slim.

We carefully made our way over to the hospital in the thick of blizzard yesterday. There was extreme concern that he would not make it through the night due to a significant decrease in blood pressure. I held Joey all night and slept with him in my arms. Joey looked peaceful and happy. I loved feeling his hand squeezing mine and having his body next to me. Every beep of the monitor had us on the edge of our seats wondering of it was a sign that we were getting closer to saying good bye.

Joey made it through the night and his blood pressure came up without any intervention. Joey is fighting his hardest to stay with us.  Unfortunately, Joey is going to need to pull through on his own and it is not appearing that is body is strong enough to do so.  We are remain hopeful, but realistic.

We have no idea how much more time Joey has with us. It would be very surprising if he made it until the end of the week. We are heartbroken and sad with the current situation. We are taking things day by day and enjoying our time with Joey.

Jonathan came again today to see his brother. It was wonderful to have my whole family together. We did a family hug before Jonathan left fearing it may be out last with Joey.
