Prayers for Giovanni

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Andres Trevino
Giovanni is a boy with NEMO from New Hampshire, he had his transplant 1 year ago.

This from Giovanni’s Dad blog:

Giovanni is still on the ventilator, and the RSV has spread into his right lung taking its course. Giovanni’s heart is spiking to 174, and the team feels his blood cells are dry, so they are transfusing him. They are giving Giovanni a holiday and leaving him on the ventilator another day to treat the RSV. His left lung has yet completely expand from the collapse, but he’s moving air well and his lungs are getting suctioned daily.His paralytic drugs will be stopped today to test how Giovanni breaths on his own. Please donate blood and become a bone marrow donor. Finally, I continue to rest on Nietzsche for Giovanni: That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.
