Day 16; Please pray

Hayden is in very critical condition.
He went into respiratory distress today. They had to put him on Bi-pap, pressurized oxygen. They drained off some fluid with a chest tube, but it isn't the problem. He has a raging infection, sepsis, and they have no idea where it is coming from. There are also some cardiac issues, but they aren't sure what they are. They are trying to rule things out, but it will be tricky. They arte putting in an artrial line and a central line. He will need a catheterization to look at his heart.

Please pray for Hayden. More than ever, he truly needs it. Thanks for your love amd support.

We have been following each and every day. We think of the three of you often and were especially saddened by todays events. It seems that Hayden had proved over and over to be a very strong little guy (not to mention his parents), and we pray that this time will be no different.
We're sending up some heavy prayers.

Dear Ali and Rob,

I hold you both so close to my heart as you go through this with dear Hayden. I truly believe that G_d gave you to Hayden because he knew you two were the best parents for and to him. Hold on tight to each other and you ALL will get through this. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking things one minute at a time. You're doing a great job. He's in good hands there. Praying for a swift turn around for sweet Hayden.

Ali and Rob,
I have never prayed so much in my life. I do know something that I have to tell you...Hayden is so lucky to have such wonderful and strong parents. You guys have made him the fighter that he is. Although it can be hard, stay strong and know that there are alot of us out here thinking of you.
