When Chelsea Huff gave birth to Carson Jacks at 36 weeks, things took a terrifying turn. Though the delivery was swift and the baby boy’s heartbeat was strong during labour, all that changed after he entered the world......READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Suddenly, Carson’s heart stopped. After laying the child on his mother’s chest, his heart started again, but soon his heart rate was dropping again, and doctors discovered a host of medical concerns.
They put Carson Jacks on life support and ran a bunch of tests and evaluations. A lot of questions surrounded the causes of this little boy’s illness, but doctors eventually determined the only option was to remove life support.
Doctors suspected a haemorrhage in the boy’s left temporal lobe, along with a diagnosis of non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH), a rare genetic disorder causing an accumulation of glycine in the body’s tissues and fluids.
After lots of prayerful consideration, Chelsea and her family decided to remove life support and allow Carson to find his healing in heaven.
The family requested prayer as they prepared to remove life support, and as they began saying goodbye to Carson Jacks Huff, something amazing happened. The little boy defied the odds and began breathing on his own.
“Today we witnessed a miracle,” Lisa Huff wrote on Facebook. “We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told he would not breathe on his own and to expect his heart to stop within those 10 minutes.
Well, God and Carson had other plans. As soon as doctors took Carson off the ventilator, he began breathing, and his heart rate and oxygen levels stabilized. He began breathing, swallowing, and gagging – all things the doctors said he’d never be able to do.
And the blessing completely overjoyed the little boy’s family. ‘I’m not sure why I ever thought we were so undeserving of a miracle, and I’m not sure how long we have with him, but we have him now, and now we will take,’ Lisa said.”
This miracle baby is surprising everyone with his progress, and while only God knows his future, Lisa Huff and Chelsea Huff are revelling in the blessing of each minute with sweet Carson Jacks.
Carson still has so many things to overcome, but each day brings unexpected miracles. A few weeks after the family had doctors remove life support, the miracle baby was still surviving, growing stronger, and defying expectations.
Doctors even discharged him from the hospital and sent him home with his family. Carson has continued improving at home. He’s grown to a healthy weight, and his heart rate and oxygen levels remain stable.
His glycine levels have dropped dramatically, which is incredible. And while this precious baby still has a long way to go, he’s progressed well beyond anything the doctors ever thought possible.
Prayers continue to surround Carson Jacks Huff, and we ask that you add to them. The Lord clearly has big plans for this sweet little boy. That’s it for today..CONTINUE READING>>>
