Easton’s Story

Site created on February 25, 2018

On Monday Feb, 19, 2018, Easton woke up struggling to breathe, was lethargic, and was unable to walk. He went by ambulance to a medical center, where they discovered he had tested positive for Influenza A and would be transferring him to a hospital in Worcester that specializes in pediatrics.  After being admitted, it was discovered that his intestines had twisted and he was in septic shock. He was immediately intubated and was rushed into emergency surgery, where they removed parts of his intestines, colon and cecum. The surgeons were unable to close up his surgical site due to the rest of his body being so sick. It was decided to give him time to recover and hope they could close in a few days. Easton continues to fight the many complications that accompany such a trauma, but he is truly a fighter and proves everyday that he will win!!

My Bug!!

Journal entry by Kelly Noel —

It appears that one of the best days is about to be upon us! Easton will most likely be discharged from the PICU this Wednesday!!! YAY!!!! He will be heading to Spaulding Rehabilitation in Boston to try and get some strength back and work on walking and all other PT/OT things. He will also need to continue to wean off of his last medication. He’s had a bit of a hard time with that but the team here is awesome and are working so hard to find that line for him to get through it! He has amazed everyone involved with his resilience and strength!! And I will continue to say just how unbelievable the doctors and nurses are here!! We absolutely love them!! Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers, they worked!! ❤️❤️❤️
