joejoesmom Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I have also been following your story but have not posted. My heart is breaking for you, your husband and Lazer. Please don't beat yourself up about doing CPR. It was far more likely that it would have saved him, than this sad outcome. We do the best we can, given what we know at the time. I think it was incredibly brave and smart of you to do everything you could at the time to save him. He knows you love him, and would do everything possible to give him a great life. He has known love, comfort and security in your home. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4My2Greys Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Lorinda I am heartbroken for you and your husband over this news. I was afraid the news was going to be bad when you hadn't already posted an update when I last checked. As I've said and Jane also don't beat yourself up for doing CPR. Lazer knows you did it out of love for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45MPHK9 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Lorinda, I am so sorry. You did such brave thing trying to save Lazer's life. Don't second guess that. How could you have known what was coming? Sending you and your husband a hug. Give Lazer a hug from us, too.

Remolacha Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I was so hoping the ultrasound would show something that could at least be treated with drugs, for awhile. I am so sorry I understand how you feel about the CPR, but you couldn't know what was in the future, and you did what seemed best for your boy at the time. That is all we can ever do.

TheFullHouse Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Oh no, this was not the update I was hoping and praying for. I know what you're going through with DH, Mike and I were at opposite ends with Emmy. I was ready to let her go long before we did, he just couldn't wrap his head around it. It makes a bad situation even worse. You are all in my prayers. When the time comes may Lazer have a peaceful passing. This is just heart breaking.

duncan41 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) "Sorry" just doesn't do it for me at times like this. So many prayers by so many people, but there was another plan. 5 is just too d*mned young to leave and you're right - 20 years wouldn't be enough, either! I read your update this morning and just couldn't answer - too many tears and couldn't see the screen. Lorinda, my heart is breaking for you and DH. Wish he could "fix it", but then, that's a guy thing. Please don't beat yourself up for doing CPR! Don't question the big picture - just do what you know needs to be done - make Lazer's last few hours the best possible. He came to you for a reason and he's leaving like this for a reason. I certainly don't know why; I just don't have a better explanation. I'm here if you need me. I will be holding you, DH and of course Lazer gently in my prayers and in my heart.
