The Life of Titus: The Latest

The Latest

Titus had a small fever last night, but right now is running a fever again. Yesterday, his oxygen had been turned down to .4, but through the night and this morning, they have had to turn it back up and his respirations are high. His bloodwork is showing that he's still fighting some form of infection. His IV came out Sunday night since it was painful for Titus and they changed his antibiotic to something that could be fed through his g-tube, but they are considering putting a pic line in (similar to a IV, but directly into a vein and more stable) and putting him back on the original antibiotics. So, he is not coming home today.

Please pray for Becky - she's exhausted and these are slow days at the hospital.

So sorry that Titus is still suffering from some sort of infection. I will keep Titus and Becky and your family in my prayers.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121: 1-2

Introduction

This all began with emails, random thoughts, and prayer requests when our 5th son, Titus Beck, was born. From the moment he was born, issues arose which have led us on a new journey of faith.

Titus was born with micronagthia (recessed chin) that blocked his breathing, cleft palate, profound deafness, blindness, Dandy-Walker variant, ASD/VSD, hemi-vertebrae in the spine, and the list continues. He has had 8 surgeries in 14 months and spent 115 days in the NICU or PICU.

And yet, with all of that, Titus is gift from God, a blessing, a content and happy baby.

And along with Titus, we have 4 other boys, 2 golden retrievers, 2 nurses, and whole cast of characters that flow in and out of our house. To us, it's quite routine and normal, but others don't seem to see it that way. Follow along the journey of our daily life.
