8:30am - Hudson is with his surgical team. We expect it to be several hours before he makes it to recovery. I know they are going to take the best care of him, along with his guardian angel. Please pray for our Hudson James, and pray for the intercession of St. James, Hudson’s patron saint, on his feast day today.

Calling all friends, family, prayer warriors: We are in the midst of a storm. Around 5 am on Tuesday morning, Matt and I woke up to the sound of Hudson having a seizure. This was a prolonged seizure that lasted (we think) around 10 minutes. Thankfully, we had his sister Clare’s diastat rescue medication from when she was around his age, and were able to get the seizure stopped before EMS arrived. At the ER, a CT revealed a mass on the left side of his brain. Hudson received the Sacrament of anointing of the sick and was flown from the St. Francis ER to St. Louis Children’s ICU yesterday morning.
