Little Charlie

Dear little Charlie is in critical condition.  He is the younger brother of Amber, who passed away last May.  I believe he is about three years old.  He developed pneumonia a couple days ago.  One of his lungs collapsed and he's been put on a ventilator.  As a result, his other lung, being overworked, became inflated and has sprung a leak.  He now has an air pocket outside his lung.  Unfortunately it is located in a spot where the doctors cannot reach, and therefore they cannot release some pressure.

He's the cutest little thing.  I don't pray, but I'm doing the atheist equivalent.  I hope with all my heart that this boy will pull out of this really soon.  It's all pretty surprising because he's been doing so well.  He was just recently learning to walk with a walker (a pretty astonishing feat for I-Cell kids).

Sending all my good energy to you dear boy.
