On the brink

A day of near misses, slow declines and tears. He is very swollen today, a sign of sepsis, he cant get his sats higher than the high 70s, even though he is on full ventilation, maximum support, They told us there is nothing more they can do for him, now it is up to him. If he can fight this, they will support him, if not…the despair overwhelms me.
I cannot help him, I cannot fight his fight. He looks so ill and I can’t even hold him. I can only stand back as they try to bring him back time and time again. And believe, I can believe in him, and that he can win. A long night lies ahead, will he make it?

Hold on tiny warrior, this is a battle worth fighting,
