Is it against TOS to actually link a FB page here? Prayers for Preston is a little boy who is now 3 i think and who survived a near-drowning at age 18 months. He is in a PSV and his parents are super religious and have been praying for God to restore him so he can tell everyone about the time he spent with Jesus and witness to that (im not judging, but its hard to read when she says that because there is no recovery possible for Preston).
Preston's eyes and mouth are frozen open and he is on a ventilator and feeding tube, though when he is stong he can go about 8 hours off the ventilator. He cannot walk, talk or communicate in any way. He gets sick often with things like ear infections, colds, etc. when he gets sick bad, he get life flighted back to the hospital.
Preston goes to physical therapy sometimes where they hook him to bungee cords and get him to "stand up" (with all kinds of assistance and hands). The last video they showed, his neck snapped forward with such force, i thought his neck bones would break. He has no tone to his body and has no control over his movements.
His mother just had another baby and has banked cord blood in the hope that sometime in the future a therapy may be discovered that will make preston whole again.
Its a very very sad story. They were at a party when preston fell into a pool, so i think there is loads and loads of of guilt in the adults. Plus he is a baby... I cant imagine what this life change would be like for someone other than to guess that its horrible.
I found that FB page, how horribly sad!!!
