Sawyer had his MRI/MRS today at 7:00 am. He was done about 8:45 am. Sawyer's little brain has taken on a lot of damage..."significant brain damage." Neurologists have predicted that my baby may not ever see us, hear us, move by himself, eat by himself, say "I love you Mommy, I love you Daddy," or even wake again.
We're struggling to understand why this is happening to our little guy. He was so strong, so healthy, so funny, so stubborn, so frustrating, so loving, so sweet, so tough, so perfect. We don't know where to go from here but to try to stay strong for Sawyer, and of course, for Logan and each other as well. We will wake each day and look for any more progress our baby will make. We will still aim to get him off of the ventilator. We will continue to watch his leg heal. We will wait until our baby wakes up. He will come home and live his life with us, in our own four walls. We will test him daily until we defeat all of the odds. Fight, Sawyer, fight. Pray, friends and family, pray.

God says faith can move a mountain, and I have faith that he will be happy and healthy again. Baby Sawyer is a living miracle and him and your family are in my prayers everyday and night. Everything is going to be okay! <3
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you all
We will not loose faith..Praying everyday that God protects him and heals him
ReplyDeletePraying ALL the prayers in the world for Sawyer &your family!
ReplyDeleteWe are continually praying for Sawyer. As well as many all over the world. Someone mentioned Sawyer at an FFC breakfast I went to in Rancho Cucamonga this morning!
ReplyDeleteDoctors are good. But, they don't know everything.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us", Ephesians 3:20 NIV
Praying for continual healing strides! He is going to be the miracle & beat the odds!
ReplyDeleteWe will never loose hope and continue to pray. Miracles happen. Stay strong. Xoxo.
ReplyDeleteI am not at all religious, but I feel obliged to tell you my story. About a year ago, I broke my jaw and neck in a motorcycle accident; while that sounds awful, the worst part was the extremely severe traumatic brain injury which occurred. After my MRI and while I was still unconscious, my parents were told that I may not be able to walk, talk, or see again - they doctors did not know for sure. Even after I woke up and was able to see and use gestures to communicate, the doctors said that I would probably unable to ever be independent again. Six months later I was moving across the country and driving a car, two months later I started my doctoral program in Psychology. If I was to say that miracles were possible, this would be the time, but I don't know yet - maybe I never will know.
ReplyDeleteThe point of all this is to let you guys know that anything is possible. I was 26 years old when I laid on the street, bleeding, hypoxic, and begging for air. I struggled through and I became who I am now. A year ago, I would not have been able to type anything at all, but as you can see, I am beyond that, No promises can be made, the doctors will always tell you the odd, but we always hope for the best. By being young, he is blessed by his youth. His brain is amazing, do not underestimate its ability to become more. There is much to my story, feel free to ask.
Thank you so much for this. We need all the miracle stories we can get. Congratulations as well.
DeleteI so badly hope this too will be the case for this little boy! <3
DeleteI believe God is holding Sawyer in the palm of His hand. I pray God gives you wisdom and steely strength to help you in this season. Your little Sawyer is so sweet! I've shared your story for prayer because I believe in the power of prayer. I know what it's like to hear a devastating diagnosis like this, but Drs. don't know everything, only God does. I think they prepare you for the worst. My mom, in 2005, at 85, had severe injuries from a car accident. She was in a medical coma, she got MRSA, she died, got resuscitated, they said she'd be a vegetable etc., she wasn't. We plastered her hospital walls with scriptures of healing & faith, like, "You will live and not die to declare the works of the Lord!" She had to have more surgical procedures & a surgery, got peritonitis, a blood fungus, her bowels stopped working and she got MRSA a 2nd time. It was hard, it was emotionally & physically exhausting, but we stood on the Word for healing. They kept saying she would probably die each time there was an "event". She almost died a few times, but she didn't. A few months later she was out in rehab, learning to walk and eat. She came home and lived fairly normally until she passed away at 91, 20 days short of her 92nd birthday. My mom told everyone that she believed it was the power of prayer that kept her alive. So, I take all Drs. diagnoses and give them to God and see what His report is. Don't give up sweet family! Stand on hope! XOXO Myra

ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for your family. Nobody should have to endure such heartbreak. I am praying several times a day every day that your precious little boy pulls through and is exactly the way he was before the accident. God can perform miracles and there is power in prayer so I will keep them coming and ask others to as well.
ReplyDeleteI have shared your families story over and over the last couple days, asking everyone I know to pray for this little guy. There has been many tears back at Chili's because we are all in shock that something like this would happen to such a wonderful family. So many people out there our praying for Sawyer to defy all the odds thrown his way. I believe first handedly in miracles, and i think little Sawyer would be a perfect example of one. I know that he feels all the love and compassion surrounding him. Though he may not be able to respond right now, I know he's thankful and fighting hard for his family. I will continue to pray for Sawyer and pass your story on. The only diagnosis that counts is the one god gives. Keep your hopes up high Pennino family!
