Silo
So Maxton now has a silo. Plan A did not work and things got very bad, very quick. While waiting for surgery to come up to Maxton he coded- his heart stopped and he quit breathing. Luckily, the surgeon arrived as this was happening and opened his incision and after 10 minutes of chest compresions, his heart restarted. All of this happened in a matter of about 30 minutes. His heart is now beating but his oxygen is not too good. For a while it was running in the 50s-60s ( and for a brief time much lower than that), which is why they decided to do the silo. Max is very purple, but is starting to regain some of his color. The next few hours are very critical, as he has alot of acid in his system. His level should be less than 1 and it is at 14. There is risk that this could poison him, but they are giving him a lot of fluid to hopefully combat this. There is also risk that he could desat again or his heart could stop again. Right now his oxygen is in the low 80s pre and the 70s post. They think after a few hours the numbers should be getting closer to each other. I am holding it together as best I can. My little man has been through so much but he is clearly not ready to leave us just yet. I am praying that God has plans for him that involve and nice long life with his loving parents. David and I are staying at the hospital tonight to be near him in case he has another bad episode. We appreciate everyones prayers and know that this what has kept Maxton alive. Every time I see him I remind of everyone praying for him and how much love people are sending our way.

Wow. I know you must be terrified. We are thinking of you as always and hoping the silo is the answer and that all the other issues level out very soon. Lots of prayers are coming your way tonight!
Just wanted to let you know that I'm still thinking about you and your family. Hope the silo works well and is just what Maxton needs.
All the Chattanooga branch of the family is constantly thinking of you and praying for Maxton. We read your blog each day so we don't bug you with phone calls, but we want you to understand that we are very concerned . Thinking and praying for you always. Love, Grandma, Chris, and Leslie
Hold on to one another and cherish every moment with that warrior of yours. He is one strong little boy and I am praying hard for Maxton to have the strength to fight. I hope he has a restful night and things look better tomorrow, even better as I type this. Sending you tons of love and prayers during this very difficult time.
To Maxton, you are one sweet little boy...keep fighting and showing the world your strength and determination. Your beautiful parents are by your side and they love you so much. Stay strong Maxton.

As you know, many heartfelt prayers are coming your way from the "big city" of Henshaw. God's hands are big and loving, and He will hold your family through this night and trying/terrifying times, just as He has held you through the better moments when you had comforting signs of progress.
