Please pray

My six-year-old nephew Cameron went in for tonsil removal yesterday. This morning his parents came in and found him blue and unresponsive. Please, if you pray, pray. If you do not...do whatever you do.

EDIT: He woke up and responded to simple questions in the ambulance. I don't think he's totally out of the woods yet, but thank God.

I hope all ends well for your nephew, Elok.

[Elok]

Me too; thanks.

When I was a resident we lost a kid after a tonsillectomy. Hope your nephew does well.

When I was a resident we lost a kid after a tonsillectomy.

Same here; they were 2-year-old twins.

The fact that he is awake and responsive is very encouraging news. He's in my thoughts, Elok.

[Elok]

They don't know what's wrong yet, but he's alert, lively, and on his way to Hopkins where they will put that **** in lockdown. Awesome. Thanks, docs and all.

Oh Lord! Prayers being said presently! May God bless him and his (& your) family!

[The Mad Monk]

Amen.

I can't imagine many things scarier. I wish him the best of luck

Thanks again to all of you. It's some form of pneumonia, but he seems to be doing much better. He's out of Hopkins' ICU and into their normal Pediatric unit. Now they just need to figure out what happened.

Damn. What a shocker. Prayers up.

Thankfully he's better

What should I pray to? I guess nothing. Or in other words, "I hope he gets better. "
