UPDATE: We’re bustin outta here and on our way home. They believe today was an episode of Vasovagal Syncope; a sort of benign response from one’s brain to a myriad of possible factors that causes loss of consciousness, tingling extremities, seeing spots, vomiting, shallow breathing, clamminess, etc.
The doctor said to us, “essentially, this is a TERRIFYING thing to witness, especially in your child. I don’t wish it on anyone. BUT, 99.9% of the time, there are zero lasting effects to him.”
They did refer us to a cardiologist and neurologist to ultimately rule out anything else, but that’ll come a few months down the line when they can get us in.
Thanking God for His hand on our boy💙
Friends, please pray for Pearse.
Today in the middle of worship, he lost control of his body and began to collapse before I ran from the stage to grab him; Ronán tried his best to help him stand. His color left him, lips blue, eyes rolling back. Dearest Wendy ran out with me to the lobby and called 911. I tried to get him to look at me and speak; he mumbled about scratching a bug bite too much, and then he threw up.
The ambulance arrived and hooked him up to all the heart/blood pressure/oxygen monitors. His blood pressure was very low. They gave him IV fluids and his lips turned pink again. Ruairi and I are now at the hospital with Pearse, awaiting panels for cardiology, neurology, and bloodwork; he’s stable watching Tom and Jerry while we wait.
Thank you THANK YOU, beloved Annapolis Corps family, for supporting us in those scary moments, and for keeping Pearse’s three brothers fed and content while we’re here with him💙💙💙
We will update after tests are done.
