Prayers And Healing Thoughts Needed!
Hi WA family. Many of you do not know the story of my 21 year old nephew Dylan. I'll tell you a little bit about how his life changed forever, on a rainy night outside of Fort Worth, TX on January 31st of this year.
Dylan was in a devastating car accident on that night and suffered many, many injuries, the worst being a Traumatic Brain Injury. They did not expect him to live, but he did and has been hospitalized since then. He was off the ventilator, breathing on his own and progressing well the past two months.
He was supposed to be transferred to TERRS, a high level rehabilitation hospital in Houston, last month. But due to insurance mix ups (imagine that), he had to go to a skilled facility in Weatherford, his hometown and wait out a 60 days period before he was eligible to go to Houston.
He has been there about 2 weeks. This morning he had a major set back. I copy and pasted what I wrote in his CaringBridge update tonight, that I started the first day of this horrible nightmare. You can read that below. I am just to tired to write it all out again. So here it is:
It's with a very heavy heart that I write this tonight. Dylan has had a major set back this morning.
This morning around 9:30 he aspirated on his feeding he had been given a half hour earlier. They were laying him down to change him when this happened. At that time he went into cardiac arrest, they did CPR and were able to get his heart going again. He was rushed to the local Weatherford hospital, where his heart stopped two more times. Both times they were successful in bringing him back.
He was then life-flighted to Plaza Medical in Fort Worth, as all the other ICU beds were filled. He is currently in ICU there. He is on a ventilator and back to being on the same drugs he was on the first go round.
They fear he has had further brain damage and they are doing a CT scan this evening. He still has pneumonia and they believe he is also septic. His vitals at this time are ok, except his temperature, which is very low.
He is opening his eyes a bit, but is having a lot of twitching, so are also giving him seizure medication.
Please, please, please, we need lots of prayers and big healing thoughts and energy going his way. The family is quite upset at this time and prayers for comfort are needed for them, also. Thank you.

Thank you, Heather. Dylan is a beautiful soul which is sometimes hard to find in today's world.
Absolutely heartbreaking...what a beautiful boy.
Sending lots of healing energy his way. If you could get the family members to also pray to your families loved ones that have passed over to help out...our passed loved ones are always there waiting to help...just ask them.
Thank you, Amber. Dylan is a beautiful child, inside and out. The kindest soul you would ever meet.
You and your family have my thoughts and prayers. This can be a very hard time for everyone involved. If you ever need anything (even if you just want to rant) please feel free to pm me =). I am always here. I have never been through anything quite like that, but both my parents had terminal illnesses and I took care of them. Happy thoughts and hopeful prayers your way.
