Sammy is a Miracle and here is why:

Sammy unfortunately went into sudden cardiac arrest on Saturday January 7th around 5ish pm. Paramedics were not able to resuscitate him onsite but worked on him for a long while and eventually transported him to Houston’s Texas Children’s Medical Center. In the Emergency Room the team worked hard to try and save him but unfortunately they pronounced him just after 7pm. While mom and dad were crying and praying over him and the team left the room Sammy fought and find his way back. The doctors said they had never seen that before. They came back in and were able to get a pulse and heart rhythm. He was then transported to the Pediatric Intensive. Care Unit (PICU) where he was intubated with a breathing tube and put on a ventilator as well as heavy doses of heart and other medicines to sustain his life. Although they saved his heart and lungs they thought we lost his brain. The first night was quite rough with lots of ups and downs and scares but the overall trend of his numbers started to improve. When the morning team began his care it did not look good for Sammy. So mom and dad again prayed hard and reached out to all family, friends, and anyone who would listen and asked to pray with them. Well our very strong Sammy answered us and he opened his eyes. The doctors again were dumbfounded and could not believe this was happening. He was able to nod yes and shake his head no, he was able to move his hands and arms and respond and interact. It was absolutely a miracle. After this the team was then fully focused on getting him through this. He has been trending in the right way ever since, but this is a very long road and hill to climb.

Sammy is our Miracle. We will post updates about his condition here as often as we can and hope you will support us and continue to pray!!!
