Update as of now: Grant is very very sick right now and it came on very quickly. He spiked a fever and I brought him to the ER here at Scottish Rite. From the time we got here Grant was having trouble with his O2 saturation and was placed on supplemental oxygen. His fever stay elevated even though he had already had meds for that. Grant started rally having trouble breathing and we had to put the trach back in to stabilize and give him an airway. His O2 stats immediately got better but then he started having trouble breathing so they had to place him on a ventilator. Grant then began to have seizures (he has never done this before). They got the seizures stopped. Grant has had a CT scan to try to find the cause of the seizures. The CT scan showed an abnormality and the are not sure if it because Grant moved a little during the CT scan or if it is a small bleed or if it is a new site of disease. His doctor has ordered a follow up MRI to determine what exactly that abnormality is. So right now Grant is resting comfortably and we are waiting to here when he will get his MRI. Grant has sepsis (Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening complication of an infection. Sepsis occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammatory responses throughout the body. This inflammation can trigger a cascade of changes that can damage multiple organ systems, causing them to fail.) We ask that you all please lift Grant up in prayer he really needs them.
