Aiden almost died last night

I woke up to a 4am phone call, Aiden went into tachycardia and spiked over 220bpm. They could not get enough medicine through his small pick line to get him out of it so they had to shock him out of it (paddles). After, Aiden took a very, very bad turn for the worse. His stats were very horrible and his lactaid levels were 21 (higher than the on-duty cardiologist had ever seen). She told us they thought they were going to loose him. The morning update was his stats were still off and that his lactaid levels had barely lost a point. For him to live his body would need to naturally recover.

I can’t tell you the level of praying while being absolutely gut-wrenching sick. Aiden was most definitely in God’s hands. Almost 4 hours later, to our and everyone at that hospitals suprise Aiden’s lactaid levels continuously dropped to a 1 (where it should be) along with all of his other stats remaining stable throughout the rest of the day. We were told it was nothing short of a miracle, but we already knew that.

If you don’t have faith in God, something so obvious cannot be ignored. Yes, Aiden is quite the fighter, but you don’t remove acid levels that fast in your body naturally, it just doesn’t happen. The word phenomenon was mentioned, it should have been divine intervention.

I’m positive the road ahead will be filled with many tests of faith, but I’m very much at peace with Aiden in the Lords hand. And as long as he continues to do well and the cultures come back negative (we already know they will), Aiden will most likely have his surgery this week.

On a lighter note, after seeing how many people joined the “Saving Aiden Matthew Beers” cause, over 1,000 in 4 days, I have created a “Prayer & Support Group for Parents with Babies/Children with Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs)” which can be accessed via facebook @ http://causes.com/chdsupport — We are already climbing to 150 members in less than a few hours. Push that link and our purpose out to all of your outlets, BabyCenter, other places and anywhere you can. This way when someone is in a crisis situation we can get the word of prayer out instantly to thousands. Nothing is more comforting than knowing the Lord stands beside you in your journey. I always hope and pray for the best with all of our children. I cannot do much right now while being in the middle of my own journey, but I want to give everyone the kind of support that I’ve had in recent days, which has pulled me through alot of situations I thought I wouldn’t make it through. So make sure you push that to EVERYONE you can. Prayer is so powerful in the times that we face.

God Bless and THANK YOU for your prayers and thoughts for Aiden. Before I end this I’d like everyone that reads my blogs to pray for a woman named Carol and her son Riley. Riley is in need of a heart and lung transplant, he has some vein problems, heterotaxy, asplenic and has malrotation. Please keep them in your prayers that little Riley get’s the operation he needs to live a long and happy life full of God’s love.
