The Wings of an Angel
It is hard to find words significant enough....
Kane Joseph Parthemore passed away today. Breathing on his own in the arms of his father, and his mother at his side he left this world peacefully. Kane was 19 days old.
Aundrea called me around 11:30 am to let me know they were going to turn off the machines today. There was nothing more his doctors could do for him, the tears in his lungs were a major set back, and after four days with no improvement his doctors felt he wouldn't bounce back but continue to decline.
For the first time he had a bath, and was placed in a cute onesie with little doggies on it. Mom held her handsome boy for two hours while he was on the ventilator. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins were by his side to say their goodbyes and tell him they love him. When Mom and Dad decided it was time they were left alone with their son. Johnny held Kane as he came off the ventilator while Aundrea stood by his side. She said, he was by her side when Kane came into the world, she felt it was only appropriate she stood by his side as Kane was called to the Lord at 5:22pm.
Chad and I just came from their house, they want tell everyone they are holding up OK, and wanted to thank you for your unending love, prayers, and support. There will be a funeral mass for him at St. Josephs, I will post the details as I have them.
While his life may have been short, the imprint he left on all of our hearts will be everlasting.
With love, Nicole AKA Kane's nina.

Update- Revised
9am
Kane is very sick today, coming on the heels of a few bad days, today is the worst yet. Johnny and Aundrea were called by the Doctor around 6:30 am this morning. He has a tear in his lung. They have had to switch ventilators and put a tube in his chest to allow the air a place to get out of his body. They are having trouble keeping his oxygen levels up.
I will post more later as I know more. Aundrea is a little overwhelmed with texts and calls today. I know I have not posted in a few days, but I will post again later today, please hold tight and pray for him.
Later....10pm
On the 28th doctors found a hemorrhage in his lung, they had to change his ventilator, up his oxygen and start him on blood pressure medicine again. He had a fever and his blood pressure and heart rate were elevated. He was also given another blood transfusion.
The morning of the 29th he had a good night and his numbers were back down and blood gasses were coming back good, as a result his oxygen was lowered. That afternoon Aundrea said he was having a good day, numbers were stabilizing again, and oxygen was lowered again. The next few days he remained stable, not better or worse, just maintaining.
The evening of November 1st he continued to maintain, the hemorrhage had stopped and his numbers continued to stabilize. They also gave him meds that reduce swelling so he wasn't puffy, and looked better.
The news of the lung tear was received early this morning, by this afternoon his blood pressure was low and oxygen was up, two hours later, his heart rate was high, blood pressure low, and oxygen levels were OK. Dr's don't know what caused the tear, and are extremely worried about little Kane.
Tonight, he has a new tear in the same lung. They are putting in another tube that will allow the air from this tear to get out of his little body from this tear. I am not sure what happens from here, and what will happen if these tears persist. They are going to discuss what his prognosis is with his team of doctors.
He is strong and his body is fighting for him. Continue to pray for his strength and remain faithful this is a mere bump in the road for him and things will start looking up from here!!!
