Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 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...
