We were able to keep it down to a small bleed throught
the night. We went to the Dr this morning and they
tried
to cauterize it again (in office) and it didn't take,
so we called the Dr that we usually see (he was at a
different office) and he recommended that we pack it
with just cotton and go back and see him on Thursday.
Ryan has an active bleed but on the cotton is medicine
to help stop it... ive BUT it is still and active bleed.

Jay can't take it, he left the room, we had to
restrain Ryan and he vomited up blood everywhere. I
had Jay call his mother and she is now at our house. I
want to be here for Jay but it is so hard... I am
trying to keep my head above water but it is so hard
to see him in so much pain and suffering.

If this doesn't hold then they will bring him back
into surgery and take a better look at the area and
probably end up having

Heather,

You didn't make the wrong choice. You made a choice that you thought best for your little guy and there is no reason you should feel guilt about it. Guilt is a useless emotion. Please try not to blame yourself, okay?

I will keep Ryan in my prayers. I am praying for him right now and I know, through the grace of God, that he will be okay. I will pray that the Lord will stop the bleeding and that there will be no need for a second surgery. I've seen His miracles before. I've seen him work like that and I will keep faith that he will work like that through Ryan and that he will bring strength to you and to Jay.

Thank you for keeping us posted. You are all in my prayers.

oh Heather, Ryan has all of my prayers and you have my strength vibes coming your way. I can't even imagine how frightening this is for all of you. You will make it through because that mom instinct takes over but after you'll probably let it all out. We're here for you.

Hugs & Positive Thoughts Always,

You're stressed right now, Heather & saying things you don't mean. All of us carry around some guilt when things don't go as planned. It's part of our *what if* nature.

Oh, ((((Heather)))), I am so sorry to hear that all of this is happening. But please don't blame yourself. I am not a mother so I can't even pretend to know what you must feel like right now. My sister is a great mom and I have seen her do the same thing and I tell her the same thing that I am telling you - the unbiased view of an outsider. You made what you thought was the best decision for your son based on the information that you had. I know that things are scary now but you did what you had to for his health. I will be sending you positive thoughts.
