Dear Team Boyd,
I have struggled whether to write this e-mail or not. You probably need to sit down before you continue reading.
Cap was admitted to the Pediatric ICU (PICU) last night. Around 2 AM he was struggling too hard to fight the infection and breathe plus the infection moved to his lungs causing pneumonia, so the doctors intubated him. He is sedated and finally resting comfortably. Since the time of intubation, his vital signs have continually improved. However, he will need to stay intubated for at least 48 hours to give the antibiotics time to work.
As for David, his heart is breaking. He feels so helpless since he cannot be here. I have a feeling he got as much sleep as I did last night. Physically he is doing fairly well, but as we are finding out attitude plays a huge role in the recovery process.
I will email with updates as I can.
Love,
Lisa

Dear Boyd Family,
My heart breaks for what I know too well of what your famiy is going through. I am 10 months post transplant. I was diagnosed with AML (leukemia) 26 months ago. As is happening with you, we too had to endure more than just my issues but also my husband underwent open-heart surgery! I'm sure you are feeling the same way. . . it seems like when it rains, it pours! It's hard to understand why these things happen. All we could do was trust God and lean FULLY on Him! It is definitely a marathon but with your great attitudes and outlook on life, AND with God's help, you can do this! Northside is wonderful. . . I can't speak more highly of them. I am probably telling you things you already know, but try to just take one day at a time. . . I always did better when I didn't dwell on the journey ahead. . . time really will go by faster than you think! Before long you will be back home with your precious family. . . and no medicine can match that! It looks like you have a huge support team, but I would be more than happy and willing to help you in any way I can. If any of you ever want to talk to someone who has been through what you are going through, please feel free to give me a call(706) 759-3818 or email: jljcabaniss@hotmail.com Our dear friends, Kimberly and Brad Bunting told us about y'all and sent us your link so we could be praying for you. Hang in there and keep your eyes fixed on Christ. Jena Cabaniss (My Story: CaringBridge.com jenacabaniss
