Friends,
Just to let you all know that my 3yr old son Ethan was rushed to ER last Saturday ~7AM due to cardiac arrest. For a moment, I saw my son DIED but through GOD, my wife was able save him by CPR. I saw my son's blank fixated stare up in the ceiling not breathing. I held his arm for pulse but found NONE. I saw him rolled up his dilated eyes and gradually close, my heart cried out loud inside, my heart crushed but try to keep my head ahead and focus on saving him. I knew then GOD was there, I saw his chest rised and breathed on. Paramedic assessed him, his condition was still unstable while his heart was still weak (<50bpm). In the ambulance, he was ~conscious but unresponsive. He got admitted to the hospital and was out last night. All findings were all normal except for a slight abnormalities on ECG (EKG). We suspect a seizure or could have been the SIDs if he wasn't sleeping right on our bed. He will be in contact with specialist @ Lucile Packard in Stanford for more assessment. I am a certified 1st responder (4yrs ago) and my wife is a RN. My CPR training did nothing but made me stay CALM while I was on the phone with 911.
I encourage you all to take CPR classes because it will SAVE LIFE!!!! The paramedics will not guarantee reviving anyone in distress if they are not onsite in LESS THAN 4min.
I thank GOD for giving him back to me and my wife to cherish him. I ask for your prayers and support.



IT HAPPENED AGAIN 05.15.08 06:30AM
I have no words to express how I feel right now, I have lesser strength now after seeing this to my son. All I am asking from my POLK family is prayers. Since the 1st episode, he's been through a lot of work done by doctors from seizure tests(w/c they ruled out) to sleep apnea to scheduled surgery on July 15 for the removal of his adenoid nasal valve (possible cause of this scary seizures). Finally, his neurologist demanding for MRI analysis (brain issues) due to this latest incident and prioritizing his scheduled surgery ASAP. Prior to this 2nd episode, she didn't consider our request for our MRI request due to high risk on a 3yr old child (may cause more harm than good) but this time we ran out of options. My son still sleep next to us in bed while me and my wife are awake watching him.
Godspeed,

    Holy Crap, that's scary. Prayers out to your son and you and your wife as well. My wife has been certified in CPR, didn't need it for anything special but she figured it would be nice to know it.

    My thoughts and my prayers are with you. I have a 16 month old and I don't know what I would do without him. I think everybody with a child should know exactly what to do at any moment how to save his childs life. This is a good example of quick thinking and not panicking. I hope your son has a speedy recover and comes back better than ever!
