Panayotis A Horton

My 27 year old son was admitted at the hospital on 08-14-17 after he had two seizures back to back while at the gym. At the ER they intubated him and induced him into a coma. He was only supposed to be under for a few hours.

That night they transferred him to the ICU. By the 16th they couldn’t get him off the ventilator and he had contracted the MSSA virus. By the 17th he had pneumonia, the 19th he had gone septic. (Sepsis and Pneumonia) But we were not told he was burning in fever and he was swelling up. By Monday the 21st they told us they could not so anything for him. We transferred him to a big hospital down town Seattle and we were told that he was very sick but they were willing to put him on the ECMO lung machine. We were in the waiting room while they were prepping him when the horrible announcement on the intercom came: “code blue code blue cardiac arrest room 213” and our lives changed forever . My sweet angel was gone and we are forever devastated ?
