Eowyn Update 3: Not Looking Good!

Last night around 11pm Caleb called me (I was at home with the boys) and he started telling me what as going on with Eowyn. Her heart rate had gone up, over a 2 hour period, and was around 205bpm, also her SpO2 levels were down to 50% (out of 100%). The RT had to start bagging her to try and help the oxygen level gone up .. he did that for about an hour. She also had a temp of 102.3 which was making her HR go so high. So while all that was going on Caleb called me and told me what was going on with her, he said he thought I should come to the hospital because he wasn't sure if they could get the HR down and at that time it went to 208bpm (210-240bpm is when you start to go into vtec). I started freaking out, crying and just praying to God. Britny drove me to the hospital (in record time) and all the while we were just praying to God for Eowyn while I cried uncontrollably in the passenger seat. I was asking Him for healing and safety in Eowyns' life and body, but also if this was her time to go that He would make it quick and swift, without pain for her .. That moment was the closes I have ever felt to loosing her. It was heart renching to even think about. So we get to the hospital and her HR was around 200-205bpm with the SpO levels being in the low 70's .. she still didn't look good. They ended up putting her on paralisis so she wouldn't fight the vent, increased her morphine and put her on 3 different antibiotics. They pulled blood, urin and secretion from her lungs for testing .. they were thinking she developed some type of infection from one of the picc lines that are in her arms. So now it's today and we saw her earlier this morning and her stats were the same as when I left her early in the morning around 4am .. Her HR did go down a little to 180bpm, her SpO2 level was going from 70-80%, her temp did go down and they did have to put her back on dopamine because her BP did start to drop a bit (even though it tends to do that when she's paralized). So for now that's how she is .. I'm going back to see her latter tonight and I will update you on her condition tomorrow .. Thank you everyone for the continued prayers, we feel them and most of all so does she.

  3. Oh Autum hun, we're praying, I've never prayed so hard in my life. The faith and grace with which you have handled this situation is incredible to say the least, but as a mom I know your heart is aching for your sweet angel. I'm reaching out to all my prayer warriors tonight - please know that Eowyn's name is being lifted up in all corners of the world.
    Hugs,
    Keri & family

  4. Autum, we love you. Thank you for sharing what has been going on with Eowyn and also what is happening in your heart. I know it is the toughest thing in the world to see your daughter go through this, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't pray for you guys and her multiple times! Love you so much and can't wait to come back up, my manly voice is going away so this week should be good by the end of the week!! xoxo Jen

  5. I was telling Caleb last night....there are so many things I want to say to you guys on FB or on your blogs, but there is nothing.....except simply this...the two of you are handling this tragedy with so much grace and courage...I don't think I would be able to do it. I am grateful that God has allowed me to be able to know you and your family. Everytime I read an update I just want to cry....cry for her, for you, and for Caleb. If you need to come over and scream and yell and let it all out...or just hug and cry or whatever...I am just across the street! We love you guys! ~Jessica
