sat . BACK TO THE PICU ONCE AGAIN: HUDSON FACES POSSIBLE INFECTION AS HIS FAMILY ASKS FOR PRAYERS 💙🙏🏻
For the past week, Hudson just hasn’t been himself. Truthfully, that change began back on November 28th, when subtle but concerning signs started to appear. For a child with a complex medical history, even the smallest shift from baseline is never ignored.
What raised alarm for his family was not only Hudson’s overall decline, but also the appearance of the incision from his newest chest port. It didn’t look right. Combined with his worsening condition, the concern grew that the site could be infected. Faced with that reality, his family made the difficult but necessary decision to bring Hudson to the emergency room.
That morning, Hudson was stable enough that his mom was able to go to work, while Daddy and nurse Taylor A. brought him to the ER and helped get him settled. As always, the process was long and exhausting. The emergency team performed a thorough evaluation, running test after test to determine what was happening beneath the surface.
Given several concerning findings — along with Hudson’s recent 21-day hospitalization for sepsis — doctors agreed that admitting him was the safest option. Hudson is now back in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where the team is working closely with Infectious Disease specialists to determine whether this is a new infection or a lingering one that never fully resolved.
Bloodwork has added to the concern. Hudson’s platelet levels are trending downward, and his albumin is low — a familiar pattern for him when his body is fighting something serious. These changes are often the earliest warning signs that something more is brewing.
Doctors also discovered that the J-tube portion of Hudson’s G/J tube is kinked, causing a partial intestinal obstruction. As a result, Hudson will need a new G/J tube placed during this admission, adding yet another procedure to an already overwhelming hospital stay.
Through it all, Hudson’s mom expressed deep gratitude for nurse Taylor and for Hudson’s daddy, who advocated fiercely on his behalf and helped get the process moving when she couldn’t be there in person. Their presence and persistence made a critical difference at a moment when every minute mattered.
Another hospital admission is far from ideal, the family admits. But ignoring the warning signs would have been far worse. “I know something isn’t right,” Hudson’s mom shared. “I would rather seek answers and a solution than be sent home while something dangerous is still unfolding.”
Now, the family waits — surrounded by monitors, medical teams, and cautious hope. They are asking for prayers that this admission will be short, that Hudson will recover quickly and fully, and that both Hudson and Mommy will be protected from the many germs circulating during this vulnerable time.
In the midst of uncertainty, one thing remains clear: Hudson is deeply loved, fiercely advocated for, and surrounded by people who refuse to stop fighting for him. 💙🙏🏻
