I just found out the a couple who used to work at the camp we work at and lives in our town had their 3 year old son fall into a septic tank last night. He was pulled out by Dad and Dad couldn't revive him. EMS got him revived and flown to Marshfield in WI.

He is in a chemically induced coma, they are sure his brain function should be o.k. but are not giving the family any false hopes of survival because they don't think his organs can sustain life (he is on a respirator right now). His lungs should be white when scanned but are grey.

Parents are Tim & Theresa and just pray for their 3-year-old son (I want to respect their privacy and safety beyond that...)

There are people from their local church supporting them emotionally and are collecting financially so hopefully that is what they need.

So, please just pray!!!!
 
LOTS of prayers coming their way~

My prayers are with them!
 
We will definitely be praying for this family. Thanks for letting us know!
 
I'm praying too.
 
Sending much need prayers ..... thanks for letting us know ...keep us posted!!
 
How very sad. The family is in my prayers as well.
 
I'll pass along the prayer request to my church and my dad's church prayer chains, NE PA will be saying lots of prayers for this family.

My heart and prayers go out to everyone involved.

They are in my prayers, too!
 
What a heartbreaking story. I will uplift them in my prayers

Thanks to all - a coworker here and his wife (doing her PC show tomorrow night) took off about noon with another coworkers wife (all former camp staff) to head to Marshfield to be with them.

Theresa (mom) is also about 8 months pregnant (don't know her exact due date), so hopefully the stress won't be too much!

I truly can't (and don't want to) imagine this being my little guy.

I will try to get word to them that MANY are praying for them!

I haven't had a medical update since I posted this initially, but my best friend said she'd call me at work or on my cell whenever she hears any kind of update through the prayer chains.

My son turned 3 in December and their son just turned 3 in February so we were pregnant together and the kids are the same age...I can't imagine the hurt either...
 
I have said a prayer. We had a sutiation in a near by town recently when 2 children fell in a pool. So horible. We need to all hugs our kids and enjoy every second!!
 
How horrible! I can't imagine.
saying prayers for his little body to be fine and for his family during this time.
 
I am at work right now and I am looking at my daughters photo while typing (yes I can type without looking at my fingers) thinking about the time that I had a close call with her.... I will be sure to say a few extra prayers tonight for him and his family.
 
Oh wow, I can't even imagine....please let us know that he is okay!
 
Prayers for the family and especially the little boy are coming their way from me as well. How tragic...

Only word I can get right now is that he is still alive and they know his kidneys are functioning...hope to hear more later tonight. There are a group of us that all know the family that promised to make each others' phones ring if we hear ANY news...
 
Janet the fact that his kidneys are functioning is a great sign--Prayers coming from my way too! My son is 4, I can't imagine what they are going through. The power of positive thinking can go a long way!
 
My prayers are with the family too. How sad...
 
That's a parent's worst nightmare. I will keep them all in my prayers.
 
Prayers are being made in my household. Hearing stories like this make me always hug and kiss my boys a little more.

Latest update is that the doctors are seeing signs that the lungs are healing (body is healing) vs. a few hours ago where the chemicals/toxins were eating the lungs. They are still VERY concerned about the lungs and stomach but this is the first good sign. They keep telling the family that he probably won't make it (they don't want to give false hope) but MANY are praying all over and this is a good sign. ...don't know if I'll get any more updates until morning now...possibly one later tonight before bed...
 
PrayersDefinitely my family and church will pray about this. How awful. God is in the business of miracles and I hope this is one that can show His glory to those doctors and people all around. Please continue to keep us updated when ever you get a chance. What a horrible tragedy. :(

Debbie :D
 
I will be praying for them as well...

I have 2 little boys as well, 2 year old and 4 year old sons...my heart breaks for this family, especially the mother...What a heart-wrenching story...

Update on the Mom: She is due the 1st week of May and supposed to be on bedrest and on meds to stop contractions. She is doing well...she was very tense for the 1 1/2 hour drive last night from Rhinelander to the hospital, but she is doing well today pregnancy-wise (probably due to the fact she's still in shock!). This is her 4th pregnancy. I hadn't seen her in awhile and forgot she has a little girl about 1 year old. Big brother is 5, son in hospital just turned 3.
