Things are not looking good. This is from his Mom just now:

Hudson is not doing good. His kidney numbers are extremely high. He is retaining fluid. The right side of his heart is not wanting to work and staying stiff. They are about to administer heart failure medication. Please pray for my son.

The right side of his heart is all that was working. This is not good news. Big Change from this morning and not for the good.

From My son Matthew:

Night 2, last update for today. First and foremost thank you everyone for the love and support through this all, my son deserves it so so much! Today was a bit of a rough day for Hudson. During surgery, he was on bypass, and his heart lost blood, and right now, his right ventricle(his only ventricle) is inflamed, and tough and not retaining blood well. So therefore his kidneys are not working properly, so all the medicine, his body is retaining and putting him through the ringer. To fix this, they have put him on Milrinone to help the heart relax, while keeping his heart on a pacemaker for the atria of his heart, which sends a signal to the top to work and the bottom or the ventricle of his heart is pumping correctly but it takes the pacemaker to make this happen perfectly. This is a normal thing for his condition and this surgery, so then his heart will pump correctly to the kidneys, which will help his body process the fluid and medicines correctly and bring baby boy back to recovery. Right now they also have him on insulin cause his blood sugar is wayyy high right now, and they have to test him every hour. Since the pacemaker and the medicine he has been so much more peaceful and calm, because earlier he was screaming out for us and even though we are right there a foot away it’s like he can’t see us, and was screaming in fear and occasionally in pain. I pray tonight he can rest all night with minimal pain outbursts and tomorrow is an amazing day recovering for him!! My heart hurts so bad for my son, and i would lay down and give him my heart in a New York minute just to get him back to normal, the movie John Q hits home for me, whatever it takes for my son, he will get.
Please know his surgeon came by and reassured us that this happens with HLHS babies after the Fontan, he said he hates the fontan and so do the patients but he said this is normal.

Hudson is on my prayer list. Will continue to pray for this little angle and will also be praying for his family. The Lord Jesus Christ has control.

Come on little buddy ! Said a prayer for you !

Said alot of prayers for him tonight and cannot sleep. I could not imagine this.

Prayers up for your son, Bobcat.

Many Prayers for Hudson. Stay Strong!

Has any body heard any updates for Hudson? This is just gut wrenching. I am praying all is going ok. Prayers again for little Hudson & Family. I know this has Bobcats world turned inside out, kneeling for you brother!

Morning update from my Son Matt.

Hudson looks so much better, and his numbers are looking amazing! But we are not through yet!
We had a rough night last night, outside of the normal outbursts there was a good 2 hour fight to keep him restrained as he was tearing everything off of him, he was absolutely pissed. He wouldn’t be my son if he wasn’t.
This morning he recognized me physically so that tells me the medicine sitting on his body is finally processing correctly.
As far as his heart beat and the way it communicates, they are saying today most of his rhythm is sinus which means the top and bottom of his heart is talking correctly.
So far this morning he has drank a full cup of Gatorade but wouldn’t eat anything. He is 100 times better but had 100 miles to go! Starting low fat diet and Lasix today.

Keep up the fight.

Thank you for the update. Continued 🙏 for recovery.

Cmon Hudson, you got this little dude

What a Warrior! Praying for the young man and family. Keep fighting Hudson.

Come on little buddy your doing great !!! Give it to em !!!
Thank you for the update sir !

Bobby,

We have never met and probably never will. I have read with prayers and interest the posts on your grandson. I too had a grandson that went through many health ordeals.

There is power in praying and I trust you & your Family will experience the healing and helping grace of God.

Awesome news, prayers for continued improvement.

Very powerful pictures. Love and strength to you all.

God is great!

Sleep sweet baby boy, they are going to continue to give him medicine to keep him sleepy so he will rest through the whole night, and tomorrow we are gonna try to wake up as normal and try to get him to eat, play, and work on getting some of these lines off of him.
Good news is, his kidney numbers are back to normal!!!!! So that means the plan the dr and the nurses have is working!

Great news,Bobby. Prayers will continue for Hudson and all the family.

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!! Keep fighting Hudson!

Keep Fighting Big Guy... Dan

His recovery is up and down every day........I want to pull my hair out at this point but then it has only been 4 days since this major surgery.... They said weeks.

Morning update from my son Matt about my Grandson Hudson:


Matthew Barnett is at Children's Medical Center Dallas.

Well we thought Hudson was going to sleep all night but that wasn’t the case, Hudson heart beat spiked and stayed around 150 throughout the night even with medicine to help it come down, it’s at 149 as we speak. He hasn’t truly slept but maybe a total of 30 min straight at one time, so I’m afraid he is going to be super tired today when the team is trying to get him eating and drinking and sitting up. We ask if you can pray that the pain and whatever Hudson is still struggling with in his little body goes away and he can recover fully.

Sending more prayers that his body will start to turn the corner and heal properly. Prayers for comfort and relief as well. God Bless this little guy.

Come on buddy you can do this ! Still praying and rooting for you !

Prayers for the little man and his family.

The miracles of modern medicine and the hands of god! Fight on Hudson. Prayers with you.

Keep fighting Hudson! Prayers and positive thoughts!!! Thanks for the update

Continuing with the prayers for Hudson, you, your family and the doctors and nurses. Those first two weeks are tough, our youngest twin had open heart surgery at Children's in 1986 at 3 week of age, though not nearly as involved as Hudsons was and it took him awhile to get over the hump. Thanks for the updates.

Tonight's update:

Resting comfortable, has a virus (not Covid) Off food and liquids until next week. Kidneys are now doing good and heart rate coming down.

Good to hear

Great news! Prayers still up.

Hudson and his family is on my prayer list. Praying always!

FANTASTIC! Prayers continue.

Lord keep him strong and healthy.

That’s a great news to start the day

Praying, praying, and praying for this little fella, and all of his family……

From Matthew Barnett today.

Good morning from Hudson Lane! Hudson had a pretty good night, no major upsets outside of taking all the stickers off of him and cleaning him and putting new ones in. He did really awesome with X-ray among others. I will update again after rounds later this morning.

Continued Prayers for Hudson and Family!!

This is going to be an up and down struggle but he is progressing and healing even if he takes a step back everyday as long as he takes 2 steps forward. Kinda like the old timey Texas 2 step.😁

Keep it up little man !

Right now Hudson is stable, with a lot of morphine and other medicines, as well as the pace maker bringing him back down from that 200+ beat. It’s been quite hectic all morning since about 4, but the last few hours have sucked.
He is peaceful right now and they are changing his dressing.
1 step at a time baby boy, daddy ain’t leaving you, YOUR FIGHT IS MY FIGHT! I love you so much Hudson! Don’t you dare stop fighting! You have the entire world in your corner right now!

This is one tough kid!



Numbers look better now

Prayers for physical, mental, and spiritual fortitude.

Poor boy. Keep fighting.

You got this Hudson, keep up the fight.

Damn I just wanna hug that little guy :

Keep fighting Hudson. I’ve missed his age somewhere. How old is Hudson?

If I remember correctly he's 4

poor little man

Praying for Hudson and his family regularly. The Lord Jesus Christ will always be there and will always have control.

I’m praying for you all, Bobby.

My heart is bleeding for this little boy. I will be praying hard for him and the family.

One tough little dude. You got this Hudson.

Keep fighting Hudson! Prayers and positive thoughts

Matt is one hell of a father!!! You got this Hudson just keep fighting little man and it will work out.


God please touch this young child with your healing hand.

Amen

To the top with prayer for Hudson!

Thank you Lord!!!!

Saturday Update from Dad:

Is a filter or caption even needed for this?! Looks who’s feeling so much better! He may get to come out of ICU next week sometime! For now they are gonna weane him off of medicines and try to get chest tubes out, he will have a “swallow study” Monday to make sure his vocal cords are working properly and making sure fluid isn’t going into his lungs, then he’ll be released to eat and drink! This baby boy asks all day for that!

What a warrior. Keep fighting

Great news! Looks like our prayers are being answered.

Red

Lord, I know I am not alone saying these prayers or reading your Word this morning, but many people unknown to me, from all stations of life, have joined together in a brief moment of devotion. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be among the community of all who pray in the name of Christ this morning, and remain among us always. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

And Amen!

Amen! GREAT news. Praise the Lord!


Side Note: Will continue to pray for a full recovery!

Continued prayers for your little man.

I am praying hard for this little warrior. May God Bless your body, Hudson, and heal you a little at a time. Thanks so much for these updates. We are all praying hard.

Great news! The little man is looking so much better. Prayers still on his way.

God Bless this little Mighty Angel! Prayers continued for you and your family.

Wow! Love hearing that news…. The power of prayers is amazing… keep up the great work Hudson

❤️

Amen. Thank you for posting this.

And a child shall lead them....

Prayers still coming... Dan

Still praying for Hudson he's got this

Very happy he is up and moving! Hope he is giving y’all hell wanting food. Suck a strong boy and I can’t wait to see him age on the TFF. I hope one day to post comments on his threads. He won’t even realize the support structure he has backing him.

That first post hit me extremely hard. Went straight to the last page hoping for better news, then saw him up and smiling. Huge prayers for him, you, your family and his doctors.

Amen! More prayers up for this little guy!

Hudson had a big big night and so has daddy
He got some gifts from “Jex” and the boys, so i read him one of the book, Goodnight Construction Site, tomorrow I’ll open the toys for him and read him some more of the books
In addition he also got a full bath, bedding change, all his blankets and clothes washed as well as all my dirty clothes from the last few days, so we can keep any sickness away
He should get to leave ICU this week sometime, and we appreciate very much the prayers and continuous prayers that he keeps winning this battle!!! Living with half of a heart is no easy task, single ventricle warrior, but baby boy Your Fight is My Fight!





Dad's living arrangement at the hospital for the last week

So glad to hear he's doing better! Word of warning, if you've never read "I'll Love you Forever," be prepared to ball your eyes out reading that one. I spend half that book "clearing my throat" and "getting something out of my eye" every time I read it.

What a thread. It's a wonderful site seeing all the members of the TFF praying for a great little boy. This thread has been a true blessing to me. Continued prayers for Hudson. Thank you Jesus!

AMEN to that!!

If you ever need proof of the power of God and the power of prayer, there it is!

Amen!

Amen...

Finally sitting in a chair!

Wonderful pictures of his progress. Continued Prayers. God Bless.

^^^^^This. I've never made it through this book without tearing up.

Prayers for a continued recovery. Stay strong Hudson, Dad, and family!

Very well said and I totally agree

Agree on the book assessment. Great book, might choke you up, though.

All these kids with various health problems. They're all so resilient. They can teach us so much about life in general.
God bless ya'll. Keep fighting Hudson

Prayers for continued guidance of the medical team from God Almighty so the little fella can mend and get strong. Additional prayers for mom and dad and the rest of the family to stay strong and keep the faith. With God all things are possible.

My family will keep him, you, and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Great news!

Awesome video! What a tough little dude.

He seems so smart for his age also Bobby!

Oh he is. We were afraid he would never eat by mouth or talk. Boy were we wrong. He figures stuff out on his own mechanically. Really smart kid.

Amazing post, and spot on TexDawg!!!

God has a purpose for him. Yes you are important to our family sir!

Hudson has been a great example for me of never give up and bobcat you’ve been a great example of unconditional love! Proud of the guys on this forum who put forth the power of prayers

We need to pray for Hudson's digestive system to start functioning normally and for Dad to get some good sleep. He has stayed at the hospital 9 out of 10 days and nights now with Hudson.

Look who got some snuggle time with daddy this evening!
Tonight is yet another rough unpredictable night with night shift. We had Hudson asleep right after shift change, then they wanted change all his bedding and bathe him, start his meds and his new feed schedule. He’s had about 12 ounces of blue Powerade per the doctor, they said no more water due to his sodium levels, about an hour ago he woke up and threw everything up he ate and drank several hours ago. They called for x ray of his stomach, found there was still a ton of “dye” in his lower intestine and bowel, which is contributing to his explosive poops, and upset stomach, plus the feed change.

Still got another 45 min until laundry is done so he can have a comfy blanket.

Hudson and family are at the top of my prayer list. Continued prayers and always know that Jesus Christ is always in control.

For Hudson and Family!!

God knows,,,,thank him

more prayers coeming

This is making my eyes weep...continued prayers for all

Hudson is back to eating small amounts and drinking from a Straw. He has to go slow and start small. I'm sure it doesn't taste good being low fat. He will get used to it soon.

Got a few tubes off today it looks like.

awesome.

great

One day at a time little buddy.

Thanks for the update! Little Hudson is still in my thoughts and prayers

Baby steps are ok. Keep progressing!

Plus #1 Continued prayer.

One day at a time, Sweet Jesus . . . . Thank you for One Day at a Time. . . . .



God Bless . . . . .

Hudson is one brave little boy. God love him!

Continued prayers, Hudson is as tough as they come.

Last update until he leaves ICU. Don't want to wear out my welcome. Thanks for all the prayers!!

Posted by Matthew Barnett (My Son)

Overnight update from Hudson’s mother:

1 throw up this morning at 2am. Other than that, He’s doing great. Drain tube didn’t put anything out all shift last night. So that’s positive. I would say overall great. His butt is hurting him real bad. He had a poop diaper every hour last night.(the no fat feeds and a combination of the medicines are causing him diarrhea)

All in all it sounds amazing! Once that last drain tube comes out, some of the medicines will fall off, his stomach will probably start feeling better too, and i am willing to bet he is out of ICU this weekend or early next week!

Praying for you HUD, get out of there and go make the world a better place.

Bobby, you're not wearing out anything. We need to know our little buddy is doing good!

Red

Continued prays for Hudson and family. Very good to hear his progress.

Keep fighting, we are all praying for him.

Oh well, one real update today from his Mom.

We had lots of therapy today. Hudson is doing good. He’s not very strong yet but he’s trying! I see the glow in his face coming back. He’s tired of being here, aren’t we all. But we’re getting better!

Godspeed Hudson, Godspeed

Great news! as always keep us posted

Still praying for Hudson. Please don't stop the updates, they are the first thing I look for in the morning.

It's so uplifting to see the Hand of God working in a child's life .

Thank you for this thread .

#Hudson rocks

By all means keep us posted. Prayers still being sent!

^^^ Same Continued Prayers!!

I look for the updates, that little guy is in our hearts. Great news, sounds like he is doing well.

^^^^^ For sure this ^^^^^

x10

It's interesting you mentioned the hand of God because that is specifically how I prayed, that the hand of God would heal Hudson's body.

Thank you Bobcat for continuing with updates. Please know they are welcomed.

Me too.

First thing I look for each morning when I open TFF.

Good to see him in the pictures. One small step at a time. Keep the faith; as we continue to pray for healing.
God Bless him and watch over him.

Always in my thoughts and prayers for continued progress. I can't imagine . . . .

My Father's day present I had to share.

that's great right there

Yep

So incredibly happy that he’s getting better, just awesome

x a bunch

We have been praying for him and my wife has been following him on Facebook.

Great update.

I like updates like this!

Sure is man...and he looks great!!!

You read something like this about this little guy and makes you think the things most of us complain about really aren’t that big a deal/what’s serious and what’s not. What this little guy is going through/been through is real and we should think about how small our issues really are and pray for this little guy.

Thanks Billy

Look at that smile!

What a nice way to start my Monday morning. Won't be long before that little boy
is on the boat with dad. Now I'm going fishing.

Great to see that little Guy Smiling!! Keep on Getting Better Hudson!!

Many thanks for the continued updates . . . . . great to see the progress too.



Continued prayers for recovery 🙏

On vacation but had to check on this warrior. Must be the elevation, eyes got a lil watery with those last pics. Keep rockin HUD, God has big plans for you.

Had to show this.

From Hudson's Mom today:

First time outside in 16 days. He is a happy hospital camper. Need drainage from chest to stop so he can get out of ICU and to the recovery floor. Little steps... Thank you Lord!

Outstanding!!!! Get it Hudson

great news and picture.....prayers sent for continued recovery...

So good to see. That young man is certainly a trooper!

That’s awesome…

Awesome to see him out of the bed. He is a good looking young man. Prayers are continuing to be sent.

Silly silly boy is much happier, he drained over 300mL yesterday and last night. That’s a huge jump from 90mL in 24hrs, however he was very active yesterday too.

We just need the draining to stop from his chest tube so we can get out of ICU and onto the recovery floor! Please keep this in your thoughts as you pray

I wanted to let everyone know we are truly grateful for every prayer, every thought, every gift of toys and financial help that everyone has sent. It helps more than you could possibly know! We are not out of the woods yet, this is a pretty big set back but it’s nothing that my baby boy can’t drive over!

That is so awesome! Good to see him like that & I bet he loved every minute of being out. He is full of AWESOMENESS!!

Continued Prayers For Hudson and Family!!

Warms my Heart to see him Smiling!!

Prayers are continuing. Keep getting stronger little Hudson. You're a cutie!

Great smile!
Looking good.

Positive thoughts and prayers continue for this warrior

Little Dudes smile makes my heart swell. Seeing him out and about shows that prayers are working

Keep on fighting Hudson! You got this

Keep pulling Hudson. We're piling up the prayers for you, and love seeing you improve every day. Godspeed young man!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly. I seem to get a little more frustrated than I should these days when my 3-year old, also named Hudson, just acts like a 3-year old. Seeing this and these pictures snaps you back to reality real quick!

I have been praying for your little Hudson and following this thread closely. I am so thankful he is doing better and I will continue to pray for his full recovery. He is a warrior and a bright light in a dark world.

This thread has been the cause of a few cases of watery eyes at work and countless hugs for my son that may have gone ungiven otherwise. Keep up the good fight and keep the updates coming.

Sorry about the video quality. I had to film it on my computer screen because I could not figure out how to download it from facebook on my android or PC.

Outstanding!! Man he is a trooper

Another bit of great news.... He's busting out of ICU today! Moving to recovery floor! Thank you Lord!

What a tough kid. Great news

Thank you Jesus!

Bob - I just read the whole post this morning and am so glad to hear that everything seems to be going in the right direction. Sorry that you and the family had to go through that (I couldn't imagine the anguish you all went through). Especially sorry that poor little Hudson had to go through it but like previously said - that little guy is a fighter!!! I hope Hudson continues to get better and never has to go through something like that again in his life.

great news...

Made my day . . . Prayers of thanksgiving and hope for the future. . . What a guy to be all hooked up like that and navigating the hallway of life.

Those pictures melt my heart.

Excellent news.

Awesome

great news!! A new set of nurses for him to charm!

Yea! Great news.

So awesome-That’s a tough little guy, bless him!

Great news!!! I’d love to coach this little dude in football one day. You wanna talk about facing adversity, perseverance, character and resiliency ? This little dude is the epitome of those qualities. Man, what a warrior? He slaps adversity in the face. I think we all have learned to become a better man my keeping up with this little 4 year old warrior. I’d be a damn proud father and damn proud pawpaw!!

Thank you Jesus!!!

Continued prayers for full recovery.

Therapy is going well. These people are good at their jobs!

Good stuff.

Awesome! That a boy Hudson!

You rock Hudson

Love that video! Keep it up Hudson!!

This thread has been a BLESSING to a lot of people!

great news
Thanks God & doctors

Such a blessing!!

Great kid and fantastic support from all concerned.

Hudson sure didn't want to put that fishing pole down. So glad to see him standing and getting stronger every day, prayers continuing.

Bad News from his Mother today

Brandi Easter
18m ·
Just received some of the worst news. Hudson’s tricuspid valve is leaking really bad. They are talking about going back in for another open heart surgery. I feel like I have been hit by a train. My body wants to fall to the floor. I can’t believe this.

My son is headed up there now. I will post more when I know more. Please pray for my Hudson.

Damn it!

Prays for Hudson.

Agreed. Not what I was hoping to see when I looked to see how he was doing.

Lord please help this boy.

Prays for Hudson and family.

This isn’t the update I was prepared for… thinking of Hudson and your family… heartfelt prayers

Amen . . . .

Dang it! Stay strong little man! That wife and I are thinking of you.

Yep

Keep praying. The Lord Jesus Christ will always have control! Praying for this Angel and his family!

Scratch all that. My son Matthew just got this straight from the head nurse:

Update on Hudson, today the nurses said he had done really well with physical therapy, etc.

His Bicuspid valve is prolapsing and regurgitating, so they have went up on enalapril, which will decrease after load on his heart. They went Down on diuretics, back on aspirin to help pressures in his heart.

He was able to couch up some more casts, so they sent casts to pathology after collecting them, as of right now he doesn’t have plastic bronchitis, but it’s not completely ruled out.

If they have to further diagnose him, they will do a heart cath, and possibly bronc to look at lungs.

If enalapril doesn’t work or help, they will most likely go back to milrinone.

If they are unable to get his tricuspid valve working properly they are going to discuss a full heart transplant. This can be terrifying and most definitely is, however it’s better for him to have one now at a young age instead of when he’s older due to the amount of smaller hearts available vs larger

Still….all my previous comments stand, thoughts with you little buddy!

This seriously puts our daily problems into perspective. We bitch about the most inane inconveniences in life. I can't believe how
tough this little boy is. I am heart broken to hear this news, yet I know he will be okay. So many people praying and keeping him
in their thoughts. Hang in there family. We're all family, we're Americans.

God Bless and keep Hudson within Your loving arms . . . In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit . . . . Amen. . . .

Always praying!

Continued prayers for Hudson and all of your family

My wife and I both are still praying for Hudson and family. He is a tough little guy and if it goes all the way to a transplant, he will get thru that also.

That’s one tough little dude-Prayers up

Prayers for Hudson and family.

Prayers up for Hudson & the family. Not what any of us wanted to hear. Prayers for the Surgeons, Doctors, Nurses & Physical Therapists that all decisions are spot on for this little trooper. Go Hudson!

Every Day!

Every single day! Fight, little buddy, fight!

Well to top it all off Matthew got rear ended on 35 in Denton this morning on the way to the hospital to relieve Hudson's mom. The policeman said he was writing it up as Matthew lost control on the wet roads. SMH. The truck doesn't look bad in the photos but is most likely totalled. Funny the airbags did not go off even though the frame is twisted and the motor is too. He hit the wall twice front and back left. Left rear tire is blown and wheel ruined.

Not sure how this will work out but I know God is in control. Thank God he was not hurt other than a sore head from hitting the glass on the door. God says he will not put more on you than you can stand so evidently he has a lot of faith in Matthew.

Praying for your family Bobby!

Keep the faith both in good times and the bad times as well. Praying for your family and your Grandson Hudson . The Lord Jesus Christ will always be with you, no matter what!

Continued prayers!

The next time you see Matthew and the Mother...please do us all a huge favor and hug them from us. These times are trying and every reassurance that they loved and in God's grace will mean the world to them.

Continued prayers for Hudson and the whole family.

Yes please do.

Regarding this post, the entire process i was told is in fact the process in an absolute worst case scenario with his leaking tricuspid valve due to it regurgitating.
Right now, a transplant is not being discussed, however, with the history of HLHS babies with this issue, typically get a repair and a lot more times than not, the repair doesn’t work and they then discuss transplant because there are NO options after that to save his heart.
Today, Hudson is doing great! His mom said slept through the night and he is very playful right now, smiling and happy! Maybe today he will want to eat! I’m not gonna force him to do anything, only try to make his stay here seem as normal as possible for him.

Still praying!

Aww, geez. I’m glad he’s ok, but he got rear ended on an interstate and the responding officer said the person who was rear ended was out of control on wet roads? That makes zero sense and adds stress to him and the rest of the family. Sorry to hear that.

Prayers continue for Hudson and your family sir

you need to go see the officer's supervisor and request his training folder on accident reconstruction, because that is nonsense! Continued prayers for the little warrior though!

Not sure if this is the correct spot to put this but... I attend a Golf fund raising event every year for the last 4 for a boy named Aiden. Year 1 was to raise funds to keep him alive as long as possible, last year it was to see him walk down the aisle and announce he was in remission. 6 years old and not a dry eye in the clubhouse. Ill never forget that day. I would like to see something like that for Hudson. I'm not in the DFW area but would gladly contribute. This kid has struck something in a lot of us, and his family surely needs help.

Thanks.

Not a lot to update. Seems he now has Plastic Bronchitis, Plastic Bronchitis. He's not eating much usually but today he did better. They are now not talking about a transplant (Just Yet) Trying to treat the valve with medication. It is a HUGE balancing act to get what works for him exactly right in the entire combination of things he takes. So Please continue to pray for the Medical team to get wisdom from the Lord. Thank you in advance.

We are wore plum out over this. Plus Matt is without a pickup waiting on State Farm for about 2 weeks they said...... He's driving mine when needed.

That young man is a fighter, may God bless him

Thanks for the update, keep on truck’in Hudson. We are so proud of you! Still in my prayers

Thanks for the update! Keep getting better little dude!

Again, the miracles of modern medicine and the hands of God. Wonderful news! Keep pushing little man!

sorry Hudson

Prayers for Hudson and family.

Continued!!

From Hudson's Mom Brandi Easter

Hudson is having another set back. 😣 y’all, this rollercoaster is starting to wear on my mental health. It doesn’t help having anxiety and depression. This added on top and trying to keep my business alive. I’m overwhelmed. Hudson had low oxygen levels all night. They came in at 4am and put him on a heated oxygen and went up to 5 liters. His chest x ray actually came back better than the past 2 days. So the desat oxygen doesn’t make a whole lot of sense at this point. They just did another echo. So we will find out in the next hour if his valve is still leaking or not. I could definitely see on the echo that it’s still prolapsing (which is ok but can cause more leaking). Crazy what all you learn when you’re put in these situations. God is still in control and I’m not giving up on my baby. But please if y’all could pray or send good vibes my way today. My mental health is not ok. I’m wearing down.

Continued prayers for all involved. I cannot imagine the stress and strain your family is dealing with. God bless.

Prayers for all.
Try to get some rest and take care of yourself also.

Sending prayers yalls way. Hang in there.

Hang in there Bob! Hudson is working his arse off! I can’t imagine what everyone is going through but hang in there for that precious little boy.

Keep pushing Hudson! Thoughts with everyone

Man bob you got some tough boys with a lot of fight in them . Hang in there !!!

Bob, if your business relies on delivery or something easy I could do for you, please PM me.
I am retired and am willing to help out if I can.

Praying daily....so sorry for his continued issues

Thank you sir. I am currently unemployed.

Praying always. The Lord Jesus Christ will lead you through this storm.

I can't imagine the stress and anxiety this whole family is going through. Prayers still coming from my house.

For all!!!

It could be a blessing in disguise that your unemployed. You being there for your family is huge! Prayers and positive thoughts continue

Praying that you got a better nights sleep Bobby.

Not what we want to hear. Seems now they are thinking of reversing the surgery but are trying medicines first. This just came from his Dad. He's going under anesthesia to get a chest tube put back in, a pic line put back in and to have a heart cath.

Matthew Barnett

X-ray on the right, the white foggy looking stuff is fluid, they just came by and said they are taking him to ICU to do a chest tube and PICC line.
X-ray on the left is from two days ago
They are contingent on him coming back upstairs today so we will see.

More prayers sent.

Always praying. Jesus Christ is always there!

Amen

Just continuing to pray....all we can do

Prayers for you all.

Cmon Hudson, praying for you buddy

Well the procedures are finally over. They had to bag him 10 minutes when he quit breathing. Then he coughed up 2 huge casts that looked like baby octopus. He now has a new chest tube and already drained 160 MLs and a new pic line. They also did a sedated Echo. Will know tomorrow.

If you think he is not tough, look. All of the scars makes me fighting mad even though I know they are trying to save him.

Keep praying for strength.

More prayers for such a brave warrior. He is stronger than 10 grown men.

Praying always and knowing that Jesus Christ is all ways in control!

That poor kiddo . . . . . prayers for healing and the Lord's mercy . . . .

Praying every day for you all.

Aren't we all!

More prayers on the way for Mr. Tuff Guy.

Update from my son today:

7-5-2021 PACT team

This morning has been very tough, Dr Hernandez from the PACT Team was introduced to Hudson and I by Dr Gordon, the ICU cardiologist.

Small things to note, Hudson cannot have anymore food or water, only ice chips. His numbers are stable but he is not making headway as they want him too.

The team doesn’t want to take a chance and keep hurting his organs with medication, so they have involved another team of doctors to step in, research, and determine if any additional medical care will help him or not.

Right now, they believe that he Fontan is failing as is the heart, and medication is not helping him progress. This morning Hudson was presented in the conference with the team and all the surgeons and cardiologists.

Hudson has had a very difficult time bouncing back from this procedure, and he is not progressing post fontan as he should.

They are getting him scheduled for a cath so they can take a look at his heart, the pressures and the anatomy of his heart, which will help them determine the next steps but will try to improve anything they can because they want him to live his life with his heart. The tricuspid valve has prolapsed nearly his entire life and leaked a little, but it has been in a severe stage for well over a week now.

How long can they continue to harm other organs to save the heart? At some point when all the medical management fails, the PACT team has to get involved for advanced therapies INCLUDING heart transplant.

As of right now, they are studying and going to come to a conclusion on the next steps. They have to figure out what’s best for Hudson long term.

This is very real, it’s very scary, but it’s no surprise. We have known this may be what happens for a very long time, this is the LAST option for my son.

So,so sorry to hear. I will continue daily prayers for your son and family.

I'm sorry little man is not doing well.....I pray that God will perform one of those miracles that turns the tide and makes medical science more effective.....I prayed that if I was next in line for one of those things, Hudson can have my spot....that's all I got brother....God keep you and bless you.

MJ

hate to hear this. More prayers for him the family and the medical team for healing.

So sad to read. Continued prayers for all involved.

Keep fighting Hudson! We are all believers

Continued prayers for Hudson and family. Don't give up hope. Praying for a miracle.

Gut wrenching news but will continue to pray and keep your family in my thoughts. He is a tough one.

No matter how bad the storms of life get, Jesus Christ will always be with Hudson and his family. Continued prayers knowing Jesus Christ has control.

I've just got one request for all the prayer warriors watching this thread every day.

PRAY HARD!

If you know me you know I despise posting this worse than you despise reading it. It goes against everything I am which is patriarch of my family that always provides everything our family needs.

If you feel led to give do, if not please pray. This is tough for me to put up here. I'm a lot better at sneaky giving than I ever have been at receiving or asking for help.

From my son Matthew Barnett

Several have asked for this information, and I’m the last person to ever ask for help however, i won’t steal anyone’s happiness that has it on their heart for things like this. We all fill our own cups in different ways.

I have Zelle too,

This is going to be a bumpy road, i know we will make it through this.

His number is 972-999-7o88. You can call or text him. His email is mattb_55@yahoo.com

Lord hear our Prayers!!

Yes sir, PGR. I will pray like I've never prayed to our Almighty God. Godspeed, little Hudson!

Hudson’s last heart surgery is now being evaluated as a failed fontan surgery. Friday we will get a cath and MRI. We will know more after those things are done. He is back on heart failure medication (milrinone). His tricuspid valve that’s been leaking is now at a point where it’s not repairable. Heart transplant is now an option we are looking into. Emotions are high. I never wanted things to be this way. I don’t understand. I’ll never understand. My only son, God has a plan for you. You are so special to me Hudson. And special to God.

prayers sent.

God please be with this family, the medical staff, and Hudson. send a miracle.

I know I’m not alone, I look for the update everyday hoping for the best. I can’t imagine the strain and worry these last few months have been. Prayers for healing, and good thoughts for those who are trying to bring this young man back to good health. Let us know how we can help.

All of you folks are in our thoughts and prayers. Hudson is a fighter and God has his hands on him. We'll keep praying!!!!!

Yes Sir you are 100 percent right! God does have a plan for Hudson and his family. The Lord Jesus Christ will always be in control! Hang in there, knowing that you have a lot of people praying for Hudson and his family every day!

I'm sorry to hear this Bobcat. Ol Moto has been praying for that little guy.

Stay strong Hudson and family!

Just had a chat with the big guy about you little buddy ! Keep it up !

Prayers for you all !!

I can’t imagine the emotions for your family is experiencing. Prayers for all of you daily.
Keep moving forward.

Continued prayers.

Nightly prayers for Hudson, as well as the family.

Prayers up for this special young man and his family. Godspeed

Have sent his info into: Unity Prayer Tower

Continuing with prayers for Hudson and your family. Praying for guidance of the doctors and surgeons to come up with a solution to fix the problems.

I have gotten to where I am actually afraid to open this thread. Continued prayers for Hudson, you all, and the medical team.

Thinking about y'all

Oh man, I hadn’t checked in a while on the progress because everything was going so good.

Keep fighting little man, I’ll keep praying for you buddy.

Jake

There is a lot of bad in the world Id like to see fixed, a damn good starting point would be Hudson. All the best to this kid and his family.

From Hudson's Dad,

Matthew Barnett
29 minutes ago

Just swapped out with his momma, i was able to catch up on work yesterday afternoon and today which is good.
Here is the report i got today.
Hudson feels so much better today. They removed the chest tube early this morning. The first thing he said when I walked in was look at my back it’s gone. It doesn’t hurt anymore. He’s been awake and pretty content, sitting up in bed playing IPad games. They said everything is the same just some BP meds adjusted. Praying it comes down some more . It’s still high 127/78 but has dropped down into the 90’s at times which is where it needs to say. They took the high flow oxygen off and he’s back on a normal nasal cannula. Still NPO and will be all week. Asking for food and water but not begging like he was. And the biggest thing of all he walked from his other room on another hall to his new room about 75-100 yards!
He was moved rooms because another baby was in more serious condition needing the room he was in, however his care does not change, we are still in the ICU just across the hall.
His cath is scheduled Friday with a contingent of a bronc Saturday, they may do an emergency bronc Friday if they cannot intubate him for the cath, and anatomy study of his heart. What this will all allow is a better look at his heart, where the intervening cardiologists and doctors will decide the following:
A. Is Hudson’s heart able to be saved? Are there any more repairs that can be made? Ultimately they want him to keep his heart.
Or
B. Heart transplant. Though transplant seems like the easiest choice, and may be the best decision for him, he may be able to breathe normal and have a somewhat normal life, however, his body could ultimately reject the organ.
We pray that whatever choice is made that Hudson can start to thrive instead of survive. My baby boy is all i have, and if he was bigger and my heart was compatible anatomically and type, i would give him my heart in without even thinking twice.

Strength for Hudson and family.

Thought of y’all today, hoping for some good news! God bless

Prayers for your son and family continues.

Always praying!

If you have Facebook you can go look at a video from today to see how well he is doing today. He is still in heart failure. Medicine is helping with that. Friday and Saturday are big tests and we will know more by Monday.

https://www.facebook.com/100014841938245/videos/136458995261478

Praying for yall and Hudson

I still can't believe the strength of this family - I'd be hunkered down in the corner . whimpering . . . Hudson is like the energizer bunny - the picture of him walking down the hall with all those tubes and hanging things is tearing me up. Danged glasses . . . . . .

Constant prayers for strength and recovery . . . . . UP !

Praying hard for God to step into this situation and heal him. God bless Hudson. Keep the faith.

Keep on trucking little Hudson!

“ . My baby boy is all i have, and if he was bigger and my heart was compatible anatomically and type, i would give him my heart in without even thinking twice.”


That right there can make a grown man cry, it just did. Stay strong Hudson and family. Stay strong

I just sent another to all of you with tears in my eyes. Stay strong and keep the faith!

Yep.

Always praying for Hudson and family to stay strong!

Starting my prayer list this morning with one for strength and courage for Hudson and all of his family. Also one for the medical team attending to him.

Dear Lord...please pull this family through. No man / woman should endure this much pain for their child. No child should endure so much pain.

Amen!

Nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof right now. This set of tests will have him under anesthesia for 8 hours.

Hang in there. Everyone is pulling for him.

Same here. Last I checked Hudson was doing better.
Continued prayers

Hudson will be on my mind all day today. Prayers up ! ! !

prayers for Hudson and his family and the medical team. Also prayers for the child and family who needed his room cause they were worse off.

Bobcat is there anything we can do? Like, bring meals up there, mow the yard or anything else that's needed while all attention is on this Angel?

Prayers for you all !! Lord hear our Prayers for this Family!! Keep Hudson safe as he goes through these test!! In Jesus Name Amen!!

Well Said. Amen!

Today’s the day. Please keep Hudson in your prayers. Heart Cath and Cath through his lymphatic system. Please pray specifically that he doesn’t have any casts come up in his airway during these procedures.

You got this Hudson, may the Lord be with all of you today.

AMEN to that!!

Same here. Prayers on the way.

You got this Hud, lots of folks in your corner.

Received this morning from Matthew Barnett
1 hour ago
A little look into the Kaos on procedure and operation days
Of course Hudson has had his anesthesia juice and is really loopy in this photo
A lot of really amazing people in this photo that have been with Hudson most of his time at children’s, they have spend extensive time at children’s in Philadelphia for this operation!
This is the 11th child children’s has ever done a lymphatic cath to, and today will be there 11th total success!!!!!!

So glad it went well!!!

It's just started about 8:30 am. It will last about 8 hours they said.

God bless every one of those heroes...and that one little Superhero!!!

we are praying.....have been praying....will continue to pray.....I see in this thread my people.....men of God, flawed though we may be, we are praying in agreement for a boy that we do not know..... " For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Mathew 18:20

What an ordeal.

Correct! A super hero among heroes… hope all goes well today, keep fighting Hudson

continued prayers for this special boy and his family.

I've got to brag on Bobcat's son Matthew here real quick. I've been buds with him since he was a fairly young guy. He has about the best personalty you could ever imagine. He's a BIG OLE BOY but just as nice as they come. He's always trying to do the right thing, and always trying to help others. I think he's the type of guy that if you were broke down at 2am an hour away he would get his boots on, grab some tools, and head out. His strength through all this has been truly amazing. I've talked to him a LOT over the last 2 years especially, and even as recent as last night. My prayers go out to everyone involved as always!

This whole thread as been Amazing. Hudson has touched so many lives not only from this thread, but at the hospital where he is at. God Bless Hudson and his family this is one heck of a storm. Continued prayers for Hudson, his family and all of the medical staff treating him. Jesus Christ is always with us and Jesus Christ will always have control.

Expect a miracle!

Let's sure HOPE and PRAY!

From what I read on Matthews FB, Hudson has been doing great and they are about done at the CATH LAB.

You are spot on Spags. He goes and helps some people out that have never returned the favor and keeps on doing it anyway time and time again. He sometimes gives when he shouldn't but he always does it over and over again. That's just Matt.


You are correct. We are waiting to hear from the Doctor in charge of all of this.

Amen txmaster!!!

Yep, heart of gold tucked into that big ole boy!

Just now form my Son Matthew:

Success!!!!!! Everything went exactly as they planned. His pressures in his heart are lower than expected.

Right now it’s crucial how he recovers, with the way everything is projected, they do NOT think he will be needing a new heart!!!!! Now this will all be depending on if his tricuspid valve leakage slows or stops.

No other words needed except THANK YOU JESUS!

Fantastic!!

Amen! Give glory to Jesus Christ.


Side Note: Still tops on my prayer list. Continued prayers.

That little dude has been through it. Praying and praying and praying for Hudson!

Rest easy little Hudson and get better soon.

How’s the OT mascot doing today?

great news....

More prayers sent I think Hudson can get through this he's one tough kid

💪💪💪💪💪

We got to FaceTime Hudson tonight! He is doing pretty good but he wants to eat and drink so bad but can’t until Monday so that’s making him fussy but to be expected. He’s getting two popsicles a day and ice chips in between.

He looks a little puffy to me and my wife also. She will be up there tomorrow. I still can't get in.........

Son said his breath smells like silicone caulking from where they glued his leaking lymph system yesterday.

Hudson wants Spaghetti Monday. He told his Mom to go home. She asked why? He said to make me spaghetti and bring it back.

Love it. Get that boy a 5gallon bucket of spaghetti, he’s got some catching up to do. Go Hud💪

Mom go home....why....make me spaghetti and bring it back! Awesomeness! God is good!

Love this kid! Atta boy Hudson. God bless this entire family.

great news. more prayers sent

Atta Boy, Hudson. You have to advocate for yourself at time like this! I wonder what the hospital would do if 50 or so spaghetti orders showed up by food deliveries for him?

Haha, it would have to be fat free right now. Soon he can go back on regular food like Pawpaw's cooking.

Classic. Get that boy some spaghetti!

Matthew Barnett

Oxygen is off! Been off for over an hour! Woohooo!




Yes sir!!! He can drink and eat! Only no fat foods! The dietician will be coming back for us a game plan! It is imperative to follow the food guidelines strictly for his health and his recovery! He’s getting back to his normal self!
Last night he slept 90% of the night and woke up this morning and told me he slept good!
Though we are doing great, we are not out of the woods yet! Everything from here on out is critical but hopefully we stay in the right track.

🙏💪

When the dude with the ditch pickle runs his time on TFF homepage. One of these should be next. Team Hud💪💪

Little dude is as tough as they come. Keep fighting Hudson.

After this, life is a piece of cake for this young man

some of the best pics I have seen all year , praise God for healing this young man and for the Dr's and nurses caring for him .
I hope someday he will know how many people are praying for him ---- he's a fighter .

Man, I can't image. Having two little boys of my own, and having gone through just a tiny sliver of this several months ago, this thread is a tough one to keep up with. With that, praise god, and the whole team of folks there. Little kids aren't supposed to hurt, so hopefully the road from here on out is a much nicer one for him and all of y'all.

Just curious , is there a GO FUND me account for Hudson ?

No more feeding tube! No more IV! He does still have a picc line for blood draws. Kidneys look great. The heart valve that was leaking moderate to severe is now mild. He started having some puffiness in his face yesterday so they’ve stopped the steroids. Still trying to figure that out but other than that he’s great. Now they’re aiming for Thursday to be released.

You can text or call my Son, Matt at 972-999-7088. He has all kinds of ways to get him the donations. Zelle, Paypal and Venmo.

Great photos!! Prayers for continued strength and healing.

Wonderful wonderful news. I'm in the wrong part of Texas to make it happen, but I hope the road is lined with people waving, honking and welcoming that little superstar home. Just wonderful news!

Whoot! Whoot!! Wife and I are super excited!

That would be awesome!!

Happy day for him !!

From Me;

I want to thank each and everyone who has took the time to post, pray, and support my family while we were going thru this for the last 45 days. I won't forget you and will help you anyway I can in the future.

Peace out Children's Medical Center Dallas and thank you so much to every nurse, doctor, surgeon, and every person involved in the care of my son, Hudson Lane. Without each and every one of you my son may not be here today and being able to come home happy and healthy! Fingers crossed we never get on a transplant list again, but that can change any day and we pray it never does!

We are just waiting on the pharmacy and the final goodbyes and Hudson and i are north bound to Sanger to see Nana and Pawpaw and ride his new grave digger power wheels!

I probably won’t be on Facebook much today or this weekend however I’ll let you all know how his weekend goes and upload photos

Let’s gooo!!!!!
