Why Lonnie Jr Is On A Ventilator

[@OurLANDingCrew8]

I know some of Lonnie’s friends follow this channel so please reach out on IG if you want to check in on him (I can’t get into his phone). If you’re rude, you will be blocked. Whether others donate or buy things from the store or not, we will be okay financially but people are asking ways to support our family during this time. I think going 1-2 months without working would impact ANYONE no matter what their savings status is.

I hope one day God gives you many days , years without any issues.. your a very sweet down to earth person and loves your kids so deeply.. sending prayers to Lonnie Jr please give him a hug 🤗 and so much love is sent your way ..

[@brendad940]

Oh honey. I don't comment often but I just had to tell you how sorry I am and that I hope Lonnie Jr. heals quickly. My son was on a ventilater when he was 16 after an anaphylactic reaction and it was the scariest 24 hours of my life. The fire department had to shock him and I blocked that out too. Lonnie Jr. and you and your family are in my prayers. Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon

[@susanworbey4088]

Thank you for sharing this. As a dentist it’s horrifying to realise how unwell he became because of an extraction-makes me think twice re post op care. Having had a child in icu last year I know just his tough it is. Praying he gets better soon x

[@ibenessie1495]

This hits home for me because my son had pneumonia around 7 months old. We took him to the doctor 3 times & he was first diagnosed with an ear infection. The antibiotics didn't help he still ran a 103 temp & was rushed back to the doctor where they finally ordered tests. Sure enough he had pneumonia in his lower left lung. I had a doctor tell me that they've done everything they could for him. We could either go home or be transported to another hospital. My heart absolutely shattered & told him we was going to another hospital. He was transported by ambulance. There was 1 day where he was not waking up at all. The doctors couldn't tell me when or if he was even going to wake back up. They just told me his body was fighting very hard. We stayed in total about 2-3 weeks in a hospital before finally getting better. He's a fighter & always has been. He somehow even learned to crawl in the hospital. I cried along with you while watching this video cause I know how I felt in that hospital with my son. It's absolutely traumatizing still to this day. Prayers for you & your beautiful family.

[@D3SP41R3D]

My daughter, who is now 5, was put on a ventilator at 3 weeks old because she had RSV. Thankfully we live in Massachusetts, so we were rushed to boston children's hospital, where they saved her life. You never know how strong you are until there is no other option. I have two other children so I had to stay strong for them also. You will get through this and so will Lonnie Jr. Praying for you!

[@zoephillips3147]

One of my twins was put on a ventilator with rsv too at 6 months every parents worst nightmare hope your daughter is doing well. X

[@lisaworth6860]

Shauna, I also live in Massachusetts and you're right about Boston Children's hospital. It is the best as we do have the the best hospitals. Glad your daughter is doing well.

[@HeartMamaMeg]

My 6 year old has had 4 open heart surgeries at Boston Children’s. We traveled from out of state because they offered us options no one else could. They changed the course of our son’s life ❤

[@amysprice3930]

Never apologize for getting up set about your son. Your family is in my prayers. Complete healing and peace of mind.

[@Stalemarshmallow]

I know this is a random video to leave this comment, but just wanted to say I’m glad I found your channel, I just started working with autistic kids 2 months ago for the first time so that’s how I found you. But listening to your vlogs is like hanging out with a good friend. You seem like such a nice girl. So, thank you.

[@meghanlucia4614]

Thank you for updating us when you didn't have to. Sending prayers.

[@jessicamichelle1025]

I was put on a ventilator at age 30 because I got a retropharyngeal abscess. It was so scary for my dad and mom. I made it through and now I am a VE teacher helping children with various disabilities! I’m praying and keep doing what you are doing. Speaking from the viewpoint of the patient, nothing compares to having family there every time you open your eyes. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@tweetiebirdism]

Oh my! I’m so sorry Lonnie got sick. I live in a different state than you and it seems like everybody is sick in my area too. I had it, my Dr. and her staff had it too. I’m praying for Lonnie, you and your family. 🙏🏼🌸

[@RosesandBlingPapercrafts]

I’m so so sorry for everything you’ve been through (especially Lonnie Jr). I’m shocked the medical professionals missed that he needed antibiotics. I was crying along with you, I can’t even image what you’ve all been through. Keeping Lonnie Jr in my prayers ❤

[@natalia5739]

Oh Steph I'm so so sorry. As someone in the dental field, I can say an antibiotic should've been prescribed as soon as infection was suspected. I've been following your updates on Instagram and am so glad to hear he's slowly getting better. I've been thinking about your family constantly and am sending love and healing energy your way. ❤❤❤

[@jennp7]

Prayers for Lonnie Jr and your family 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@Knoxvillefan101]

I came to the channel to find your yearly Christmas videos, and am devastated to see this video. My best friend was recently vented due to complications from influenza, and I know how terrifying that was for me. I couldn’t imagine how it must feel as a mother to see your child in that state. Here’s to hoping Lonnie makes a full recovery. You’re a great mom to be there for him. Sending love to your family.

[@OurLANDingCrew8]

My Christmas videos will be coming. Just a bit delayed

[@aallende]

Praying for your family. The negligence shown by the dentist and doctors is unacceptable.

[@OurLANDingCrew8]

💯

[@saturnprincess88]

I was thinking the same. Honestly, try to record/save all communications because you may want to sue over this.

[@bozekblack]

100% agree!!!

[@mommabear8673]

@@saturnprincess88 as a nurse I can tell you patients can become septic very quickly. I have seen patients lungs be clear in the morning and by afternoon chest x ray shows pneumonia and become septic a few hours later. If he had just had his wisdom teeth removed I'm sure his lung was clear and he had no illness or they would not have done his surgery. I wonder if any of the other children had recently been sick.. I don't understand why they think he will have a long recovery.. once his pneumonia clears he may be weak for a few days but children normally bounce back quickly. Praying he gets better quickly

[@melissakresky9186]

As a pediatric ICU nurse I've had so many patients go from fine (as in no symptoms of illness in anyway) to CPR in progess in 5 minutes from sepsis. I do think the dentists should've been much more proactive than reactive but from the time doctors and nurses outside of the dentists office became aware of his situation, they responded 100% appropriately and within national standards of care. It takes 48 hours for blood cultures to show what bacteria is causing the sepsis until then doctors have to take educated guesses on what antibiotics will work best

[@susanagranadeiromorcela3726]

Oh my sweetheart... I'm crying with you. I lived all that with my dad 7 years ago. No hope was gaven to us but luckily he is with us. I'm 100 % sure Lonnie Jr is going to be OK. He is such a sweet kid. All of you are in my prayers ♥️

[@TheHollyIncident]

This is just gut wrenching. I can't imagine how stressful/ scary this situation is for y'all. Prayers that that full recovery is achieved soon. I'm also surprised that the earlier doctors didn't do blood work/ cultures/ antibiotics sooner. My mom is in her 60s and about to have her shoulder replaced. She was told that following surgery she would have to take antibiotics as a precaution every time she had dental work done. She thought that was kind of excessive, but watching this I understand what her doctors are worried about.

[@shannonhollingworth5693]

So sorry to hear about Lonnie Jr. Praying for you all

[@Kariberri208]

Wishing him a speedy recovery❤

[@oceanstaiga5928]

Just for the long run I want to say please take care of his and your own mental health. I was in the ICU for weeks as a teen (cancer related issues) and only years later did I realise how traumatising it was to me and my parents and we all went to therapy. It took a few years for me to realise. The whole medical stuff can be really hard mentally once you recovered physically. Sending you all the love and I’m really hoping for a quick recovery for him!

[@cheryldueck318]

I agree with this. On the flip side, I went through a year of intense cancer treatments for stage 3 breast cancer. My kids were 5&7 at the time. We went through family counselling afterwards and had thought we had largely moved through the worst of it. Ffwd to this year, and I had significant injury, which has triggered a lot of underlying worries and trauma they experienced, and we are once again in counselling. I think, as they get older, they understand more of what happened and what it could have meant, and we have lost others around us to cancer, including my husband’s brother January 2022. It’s a lot to process, and I guess, like they say about grief, it isn’t a linear process. I hope you and your family are well ❤

[@amyblair589]

Hey Stephanie. Keeping Lonnie Jr and your family in my prayers. I went through almost the same exact thing. I when to the dentist and so much happened I barely knew what was going on at the time but I was so ill and becoming septic. The pain of it all was excruciating. Within the same year I had another incident where I acquired cellulitis and mRSA and was becoming septic again. I was hospitalized for a while. I could barely walk, had horrible flu like symptoms, and had 6 surgeons work on me. It’s truly scary when 6 surgeons look at you with fear and afterwards tell you that they don’t know how I survived both incidents. I’m currently going through another episode but just please make sure to monitor Lonnie Jr for awhile! These illnesses often can induce other problems or cause flare ups. I’m a Med lab tech.

[@OurLANDingCrew8]

He will be under my care 100%

[@Karolina090687]

Hi Steffanie, I have been watching you ffrom Poland for over 2,5 year now. I have to tell you that you were and always be a hero for me. And after all of this, you are even a bigger one.

[@gerald4535]

I cannot imagine what you all are going through. I'm glad you all got to the hospital when you did. I had sepsis in 2021 and it was scary because my white blood cells weren't dropping, they had me on 2-3 antibiotics at once, my kidneys were failing, etc. Glad Lonnie Jr is on the up and up. I strongly suggest talking to a lawyer who does pro-bono consults about that dentist. He should've gotten a blood test done. When I had mine removed, I was told if the pain failed to start subsiding or got worse, to come back in immediately and they'd give me antibiotics. Sending you all positive vibes.

You guys are in my thoughts! 2019 Christmas my mom had sepsis caused from a kidney stone. She also ended up on a ventilator. It’s was a long recovery but she’s still here doing great! I was there when they took her off the vent. I just turned my back but stayed in the room. Hang in there. It’s a marathon not a race. This experience is why my family took Covid so seriously we saw life on a vent.

I will say modern medicine is amazing! I hope our story gives u hope and strength. I was in the hospital for 2 wks n then had 7 wks of iv 24/7 antibiotics via a PICC line. My organs were shutting down when i was admitted to the emergency room, i had no idea i was in active labor and that my organs were shutting down. It’s scary how u don’t even know u are septic.

CO2 is SO frustrating. What you described is the horror we went through in 2019 for my mom. Essentially the CO2 levels were poisoning my mom. It was similar in that my mom caught a viral infection that was going around, caught pneumonia, and her CO2 was waaaay off. Her blood pressure after intubaron was quite high and was scary. I’m sending so much love to you all. I have an idea of how scary this all is and how traumatic it is.

This is the first time I’ve commented, but I have been watching your videos since own son’s diagnosis with level 3 in feb this year. Watching your videos made me less afraid of autism because you’re so informative and willing to share your children’s progress. Stephanie, you’re such an inspiration to all those parents struggling blind in the dark. I’m so sad you’re going through such a nightmare with Lonnie Jr and I just want to help. I’ve used our PayPal (wuto) and I really hope Lonnie Jr makes a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes to you and your entire family. Sending ❤ from Australia.
