<p class="q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start">« My son, John Hart, was diagnosed with COVID a few weeks ago. The day after he was diagnosed, he coded at home. He went without a pulse for almost 40 minutes. I (mama) did the first ten minutes of chest compressions while my husband sped us to the ER. After almost 30 minutes of coding him in the ER, one of the doctors told me, &lsquo;It doesn’t look good.&rsquo; And almost as soon as she said this they found a pulse!</p>
<p class="q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start">When we got to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the doctor told us that he was very worried about his neuro status and how the code impacted his brain. Anybody who goes without oxygen for 40 minutes wouldn&rsquo;t have a great chance of successful survival. He told us the next few hours would reveal a lot.</p>
<p class="q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start">Later we were told that he may have liver damage, but that only time would tell. A few days later we were told they were NOT concerned about his liver anymore because his numbers decreased drastically and were headed in the right direction! So no organ damage!</p>
<p class="q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start">John Hart&rsquo;s brain damage was a big concern after 40 minutes of being lifeless. In response, the Lord sent a Neurologist to tell us that the damage most definitely could have been worse and there were meds to help with the symptoms he may have! Look at God go!!!</p>
<p class="q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start">As scary as this has been, the Lord has shown himself faithful through every step! What we know is that my baby has no organ damage, his brain damage is less severe than anyone expected, therapies and meds should help with some of the brain damage that he does have, his heart has been beating on its own, his temperature regulation is back to normal, and although he’s a little more stiff movement-wise and his eyes have some work to do, his personality is 100% our sweet John Hart! God is not finished with our sweet boy. » â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸</p>
