Maccasgirl's son passed on; Please pray

I just received a phone call from Diane/Maccasgirl telling me her 27 year old son, John was stung by a hornet yesterday, early evening and has gone into a coma. He's not responding to movement or any stimulation. The Dr. can't figure out why he responded to the sting this way as he has been stung before many times. I hate to imagine what she and her husband John and family are going through.

Naturally Diane and her family are worried sick that they may lose him. Please say a prayer or blessing or whatever you feel comfortable with. This is just too sad. We'll keep you posted with his progress.

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

Diane I want you to know that I am praying for your son. I am just shocked and devastated to hear this. You and your family are in all our hearts as you go through this difficult time. Sending out a wave of positive energy to surround your beloved son in his time of need so his recovery will be swift.

Love and Hugs,
Betsy
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

Oh my god, I don't believe it. I am praying for Diane and her son. This is terrible, I just hope that he's giving everyone a scare and will be alright. I can't imagine something this severe as the outcome of a hornet sting but I know many people come out of comas. I hope with all my heart that he is one of those people.

Diane,
What can one say. Just know that we care about you and hope for the best for you and of course your son. This is an extremely unusual reaction but hopefully as it is so unique and weird of a response, your son can do the unique and unusual counter response and come out of this freak coma that seems to have occurred. My thoughts and best wishes as well as my prayers are for you and yours.
Realize we care and may you find strength to get through this trying time

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful wishes for Diane and her family. I tried calling her last night but no one answered. Hopefully we'll hear something good today. She is just heart broken to see her son this way. I guess he quit breathing at the hospital and he Dr.s had to revive him. Scary to think of a sting from a hornet can do this to you. I'm not sure if it was a black hornet, which are really nasty. Diane said John was stung many times this summer and never had a reaction.

I just phoned her and left a message.

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

I am home from the hospital for a short break. When I got in the car the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" was playing followed by "If I Needed Someone".
I take this to be a sign. I really need everyone right now during this sad time.

Things are looking very grim for my son, John. I went from watching him be stung to 10 minutes later watching him have the anaphylactic shock and starting to die before my eyes. How can something like this happen, we all ask? It is so unbelievable.

He stopped breathing and his heart stopped so this caused severe brain trauma and he is in a coma. He has had various tests by a neurologist which show very little brain activity, not good. He is on a ventillator but does assist some on his own. He is running a fever and his blood pressure is high. He has not moved in any way on his own which is a sign that he may not recover.

I am so grateful to all of you for your kind messages and prayers. We need all the prayers we can get for a miracle to save my son and bring him back to us. He has had a huge outpouring of support and prayers throught out the community as well as throughout the country. Please keep on praying and keeping us in your thoughts. Please pray for a miracle!!!!

He has a wife of one year who is absolutely devastated but has a strong belief that a miracle WILL happen.

He is my pride and joy, wonderful, loving son that would do absolutely everything for me. I can't begin to tell you what a nightmare this is and I don't believe I will ever get over it. I love him so much, I don't know what I will ever do without him.... :cry: :cry:

I'm taking a bath and then going back to stay. The hospital has been wonderful...providing us with rooms to stay over in plus giving food to keep us going.

Thank you all so much.
And in the end...The love you take..Is equal to the love you make.

Diane, my heart aches for you and your family. :(

I don't want to offer false hope, but my mom was in a coma for over 4 months, was on life support (ventilator, dialysis, the whole nine yards) and the doctors told us that there was basically no chance that she would regain consciousness. She was transferred by air to the Mayo Clinic and within 24 hours, she was sitting up and talking!! :o :o

Your son is young, and I'm assuming was in good physical condition, which is a HUGE plus on his side. Doctors are not infallible, and in my experiences, they tend to avoid giving any signs of encouragement, lest they be wrong and have to deal with an angry family.

Please continue to talk to your son and encourage your family to touch him. I've read articles about how the internal body responds to these energies and can help to stimulate a positive physical response. It certainly can't hurt.

Please know you're in everyone's thoughts here, and we are sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. :)

((((Diane)))) Keep praying for miracles. I've been reading the internet for miracle stories. You'd be surprised on how many people were almost brain dead and still ended coming out of the coma.
We need to continue praying with the thought of John and his family, especially Mom and Dad-Diane and John SR., his wife and family. To give them strength to get through this terrible situation.

Diane we send you all our love and strength to you and your family. Keep touching him and reading to him, whatever it is he enjoys reading. From sports magazines, etc. I believe in the power of touch for healing and prayers.

And I too have told family and friends what happened to John and to send prayers or special words for John and his family.

And that was cool ((((Diane))) of the Strawberry Field's and Let it Be songs as a sign. I believe in that too.

ahh diane, am concerned after reading the update. this is going to be a long hard haul for your family. i am praying that he starts responding soon and performing some purposeful movement. overbreathing the ventilator is certainly a good sign and it is so very soon still, way to early to tell.
i feel some connection to you in some ways, i have been stung by a bee, had an anaphylactic reaction including the need for cpr as well, but i was 15 at the time and have obviously recovered completely although still allergic to bee/wasp/hornet/anyofthosestingythings
and as most know i am an icu nurse so if you were at my hospital you would be in my unit.
i do know that there are many means of help for you all, social workers, clergy if you like and the nurses, resp therapists and the doctors. ask questions, listen carefully and use the internet to help you understand. there is no such thing as a dumb question so if there is something you dont understand, make them explain. if they cant, find out why
last and certainly not least, dont forget to take care of yourself......... three meals a day, whether you are hungry or not, shower and sleep are a must (we dont care for stinky families and it is a reason to get some fresh air instead of breathing hospital conditioned air 24/7. and remember that there are many here praying and sending the best of thoughts your way

hope your next post brings a positive update

I am so grateful to all of you for your prayers and hope. Unfortunately I lost my beautiful boy this morning. We decided to donate his organs and so he is still on the ventilator to keep them alive until the surgery tomorrow. He was a very clean living guy~~no smoking, no drinking, no drugs and very strong so at most 9 people will be saved by transplants of his organs. That has been the only miracle that came from all of this--the gift of life for someone else.

As you can imagine we are all absolutely devastated. We have a large family and he had many friends so the support has been wonderful.

My son was John Daniel, 27 years old. He was a carpenter looking to take over our business. He loved the outdoors, loved mowing our lawn of 6 acres and was always here taking care of things. He loved animals especially dogs. He was planning on building his dream home and had wanted to start digging this weekend. He had many dreams of things he wanted to do such as forestry and field plot planting plus starting a saw mill. He and his wife had just finally decided they would like a child and I always dreamed of having a grandchild of his. He had the most beautiful, soft, brown eyes which we are not donating.

There is no explanation for why this could have happened. It is so unfair. I feel like I'm being punished and I ask why. We have all been robbed.

Thank you all again for all your support.
And in the end...The love you take..Is equal to the love you make.

I am terribly sorry for your loss today Diane and the loss of his wife and your husband and all your family and friends. I doubt that you are being punished just the worst luck of all.

I commend the bravery of your family in this time to take what is a difficult decision.

Love Peter

I am so terribly shocked and saddened, Diane. I am speechless and devastated for you. I just don't know what to say. Everything seems so inadequate. I am so very truly sorry. Like others here, I've been thinking about you since I heard. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Diane, i already pm'd you but want to say for all to see how much i admire the truly most generous gift that you have given. the ability to think of someone else during a time of such enormous grief truly says what a kind, selfless person you must be, for this is the most difficult gift anyone could ever give, and the people that get to continue living will thank John Daniel each and every day of their life. A life that will have been extended years by the gift you have shared with strangers in need.
Words seem so inadequate to express how sorry I am that you have had to loose a child, i am glad you have a large family to help each other through this time.

Diane, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your son. I can only imagine the pain you and your family are going through. What a senseless loss. :( :(

When the time is right, I hope you'll feel comfortable expressing your feelings here. We want to offer you any comfort and support that we can.

As Audrey said, through your son, you are offering the gift of life to nine other people and their families. There is no greater gift than that.

Diane,

I am so very saddened to hear your news of your son. I have to tell you though I was touched that you took the time to let us know personally what had happened, you are so thoughtful because we really were all thinking of you and your family. I was also impressed that you, your family and son made the ultimate gift to donate his organs. That act will mean so much to so many.

Please be gentle with yourself in the coming days. You and your family are in my thoughts and I sorrow for your loss. You are a very valued member of our community here, and know that we all care about you. My deepest condolences.

I too would like to thankyou for taking the time to write so eloquently about your wonderful loving son. My heart is heavy with sorrow for your loss and I am deeply saddened and sorry.
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

I was in bed last night when Fiona came in and told me the news. I'm so very saddened by John's passing & am so upset that one of our friends is feeling such pain and yet there's very little we can do about it. It's so very unfair and cruel, Diane, and I am so incredibly sorry. You, his wife, and the rest of his family, don't deserve to have this man taken from you at such a young age in what can only be described as freakish circumstances.

You have my deepest condolences and please know that you and your family won't be far from my thoughts.
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

((((Diane and John and family))))) I am so heart broken after your news yesterday. I lost a baby 6 days old, 30 something years ago and I remember the pain. But to have a son and watch him grow up with all the memories you made over the years, has got to be the most awful feeling in your heart.

Please take care of yourself.

You know we are here for you, and you know I am right down the road. If you feel you need to get away, you know where to come. We just care.

And yes what a wonderful chance you will be giving to others through John's tragic death by donating his organs so others can live on through him.

We love you Sweetie. May God's Blessing be with you and your family.

((((Love n Hugs)))

I wish I knew the words to comfort you Diane. I can only imagine what you and your family must be going through. This makes me think of a song..

"I sure miss you
Life will never be the same
With you not here
Each passing day has brought much pain

With God's grace my strength remains
I sure miss you but Heaven's sweeter with you there."

I'm so sorry Diane.
