Support Super Xander and his family

Emily and Jeff Cormier have two beautiful kids, a 3 yr old and a 6 year old. Emily just had a surgery done on her stomach. But on Thurday May 7th Jeff and Emily went to pick their 6 year old up from school.  Xander suffers from asthma and had a severe asthma attack after the school bell rang and he went several minutes without oxygen and was unconscious before he got to the hospital and now is on life support. They have no family near or that can help and Jeff is the only one working and won't leave his sons side but will have to soon . Xander is a fun loving kid who pretends to be a superhero and has dreams of growing up to be an inventor to make the world a better place so he will be a superhero in his own way.  They need help with bills, funeral cost and living expenses any thing you can do would be greatly appreciated even if you can't donate please keep this family in your well wishes and prayers they can use all they can get. 

update : Please hold your children close this weekend. As painful as this is to say, Xander doesn't have much time left on this earth. He has many loves in his short life but he loved to be loved and he needs all the love he can get.
Full story please know it is heartbreaking
So full story on what happened because sharing helps me and it will help answer some peoples questions. Xander has had allergies and asthma his whole life. We had a few close calls when he was a baby. But we managed. He has had a nebulizer for when he got wheezy. Tree pollen is one of his triggers and it has been high the last week. Nothing new for us, he had a precautionary treatment before school. At lunch he tends to see the nurse she checks his breathing and she gives him a puff of his inhaler if he needs it. This was the case Thursday. Nothing new or unusual Xander gets off the bus walks home and he had a slight wheeze. Emily noticed and started giving him his breathing treatment. During the treatment he went down. She gave him a shot from the EpiPen and called me at work as this is happening and screams to call 911 because he stopped breathing. I call as I run to my car and got home within a minute as I work 1/2 mile from home. I get in the door and my neighbor is on the phone with 911 and I start doing chest compressions on his pale lifeless body. Police are there in a minute or two and EMTs moments later. They work on him with all of their hears and tears in their eyes and bring him to mercy hospital in Lorain/Amherst and there were so many people in their working on him trying to bring him back. One nurse had even sent her 3 y/o to daycare in the same shirt Xander was wearing. There were so many tears in there and I was by his side as Emily was with Kali in the family waiting room. Xander was out for nearly an hour and they were on their last try to get his vitals back and finally a glimmer of hope came when a nurse found a pulse. Life flight was called and he was sent to UH rainbows children's hospital here in Cleveland. We had our hope. Ran home to grab essentials and then right here. Xander was stable but not awake. Had to send the hardest email to his amazing Vermilion Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Lawson to break it to her that neither one of us would be attending the field trip to a farm I was chaperoning for his class Friday. He has been asking to go this farm for years and been talking about it for weeks. Through out Thursday night and Friday it became evident that Xander's heart is the only organ working. He is on a ventilator for his breathing and sadly failed every test for brain activity. He was in the 99th percentile in reading and math assessments in the nation for his grade and he was to grow up to be an inventor. He loves science. Xander was truly gone immediately on our living room floor as soon as he went down. It is my full belief right now that everything was done right by everyone involved and nothing could have stopped it from happening. Going back home to where it happened is going to be so hard for us but we have nearly 2 amazing years of memories to help get past the last 5 minutes we were in there. Time will tell if that is enough as neither one of us wants to step through that door again. And for those that have asked us about our 3 year old daughter Kali she saw every event unfold I front of her. She knows Xander is sleeping but doesn't know yet that he isn't going to be getting back up. She adores her big brother 'Yander' as she says it. They are best friends. The photo of him of superman was from Halloween. She was 'girl superman' because she wanted to be just like him. The councillors here have talked to her and will be there when he is gone and we have to tell her. Our hearts are broken in every way imaginable but if he can feel any pain we don't want to cause him any more by holding out for false hope. If there was any evidence that he would make any recovery us and the medical team would peruse it. There is not.

05/16/2015  Looks like today's 4pm balloon launch should see dry skies, but probably not dry eyes. I have seen people coast to coast that will be participating. It means a lot to us and we can use the distraction. Pick your favorite color latex balloon fill it up with helium and attach a note or picture for Xander. Add ‪#‎SuperXander‬ so if someone sees it and shares where it lands

We will continue to fight and spread awareness of the possible lethal combination of asthma and allergies. We did everything right and still couldn't help him. If one parent out there takes their child's condition more seriously now and can see that this can and does happen in a blink of an eye than it continues Xander's dream of being a superhero if one life is saved. I will talk to and warn anyone that wants to listen to me as painful as it is to relive the situation. Hold those babies tight..

We will never forget our best friend Xander Kruiz Cormier.
