Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Dear Genz, I am so sorry for the tragedy and loss that you are all being forced to deal with. There are no words to express the sadness I feel for the family and all who loved little Coby. I will hold you all in my heart and hope that some day the pain will begin to ease. My special thoughts go out to his parents. What hell they are now living in. So sorry. PhillyJude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Genz, my prayers are with you in this hour of need. what a loss. There are many things that can go wrong with any surgery. eye, stomach or foot. Loss of life is possible with any procedure but it's so sad when children pass away.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Gee Genz, That is so sad. I pray for his family to get through this. I hope they find some answers too. Trudy PRAYERS BADLY NEEDED Dear Friends, I've been trying to go about my day as if nothing is wrong.......but something is terribly wrong. Could any of you nurses out there tell me how a healthy 2 year old boy could go into his third surgery for his eyes and do fine in surgery only to die hours after surgery?? This is exactly what happened last night to a dear friend and family member's little boy. Coby went through his surgery just fine. He was born with crossed eyes and had previously had two surgeries without complications. The doctors discovered that he was losing sight in one of his eyes and recommended a third surgery to help save his eyesight. After his surgery he quit breathing and this dear sweet angel died. It was a total shock!! If it had been heart surgery or brain surgery you could anticipate the danger a little better. But given his previously successful eye surgeries...no one was prepared. From what I can piece together, the Mother thinks they overdosed him on morphine. The doctors appear baffled as to what happened. The autopsy should give us some answers. I would like to request some badly needed prayers to help Coby's family get through this terrible tragedy. Coby is actually my son-in-laws nephew. But we all loved this sweet little baby. He was my 2 year old granddaughter's cousin and playmate and Kayla knew something was wrong when I picked her up at the hospital last night. On the way to my house she kept asking for Coby. How can you explain to a 2 year old that Coby is gone. Thank You, Genz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Genz Im so sorry. Of course you are in my prayers and that of many others on here Im sure. I am a nurse but I couldnt begin to tell you what happened. There is any number of things that could have caused this. An eye surgery seems simple enough but as we all know, there are risks with any surgery. As far as explaining to Kayla, that is a tough one. I think you have to be honest and your local library has wonderful books for children explaining death. So very sorry.
