Back Again


Facebook post from yesterday that I forgot to post here


We are back again 😔In the past week or so Oliver has developed an incredibly scary breathing pattern where he hyperventilates and then holds his breath until he passes out. Initially it was only happening once or twice a day, but as of this morning it is happening constantly. He has passed out upwards of 40 times today?!? He already has a black eye from falling on Sunday morning and we are afraid he is going to have a serious head injury due to all the collapsing. Our doctors have recommended that we come to the hospital, so we burned rubber on I-40 to get here. Andrew and I are more and more convinced that he is having some kind of pain, and this is the only way that he is able to soothe himself. The unfortunate thing is that our doctors at every institution (and we have many!) have never seen this before, so everyone is perplexed. It is really heartbreaking to watch him go through this. 💔🙏
