I'm still praying for a miracle but this most recent update has Richie's family hearts broken.

Brian has not answered texts for about 4 days. Grandpa is exhausted. He is worried about his son and his grandson. Richie's situation has deteriorated to the point that his life expectancy seems to be very short since these problems are going to continue.

Richie had to get the pacemaker because of another episode of flatline. To do this they had to cut two of his ribs to attach the wires to his heart. They then needed to put two chest tubes in, Grandpa is not sure why but he assumes that during the pacemaker procedure Richie's lungs needed to be re-inflated. Before the pacemaker was attached, he had to have an emergency bronchoscopy due to mucus plugs and lung not filling with air properly. No talk of Richie going home anytime soon.

I ask that you keep Richie and his family in your prayers. I've let Brian and Shannon know that we are here for them but at this time, they are devastated. Thank you so very much for showing Richie and his family so much love.

I am so sorry. May God hold this beautiful child in the palm of His hand. We never know what God has in mind so we should all continue to pray and know that God knows what is best for Richie.

We also pray for Richies family that they have the strength to carry them through this,

Dearest Amy

I have not stopped praying for a miracle.

And of course, praying for the family as well.

OH Amy! I am just catching up with the news about sweet Richie.
Our 40 year old handicapped autistic son died suddenly three weeks ago and my internet time here has been limited.

I am so sorry that this is all happening.
Trusting in God while the storm is surging is a most difficult assignment, and yet that is what He wants us to do... Hold His Hand and find comfort in Him.
My prayer is for Brian and Shannon to do just that, yea all of us.
God will lead and the path will be the right one as we look to Him.
I pray yet for a miracle of God’s grace. Healing of that dear boy.
The picture is one in a million.
HUGS...........and many MANY prayers.

I'm crying as I read your post. I can't imagine how Richie's family is feeling, going from planning on taking him home to this. I am praying extra hard for little Richie and his family and you. 💞💕
