Maxed Out


I went to visit Seth today a little earlier than normal because I happened to be in the area. I wish I had a more positive post, but there wasn't really anything positive about the visit. Seth looks terrible. He's bloated, looks like a pin cushion and is still completely sedated. His life support systems are maxed out and his oxygen saturations are still low--hovering in the 70s.

I spoke with the doctor and she said let's give it a few days, but his oxygenation can't stay that low, and every day is damaging his future quality of life moving forward because ALL his organs need oxygen and they will slowly die without good oxygenation levels. So if it doesn't come up in the next 48 hours, we may be faced with taking him off life support and letting him go.

And that's where it's at.

On a positive note, I shot a fashion show this morning. It was boring.

  1. Poor little Seth. We are praying for him. The pictures tell the tale and I'm sorry it's such a tough tale right now.
