There is no dramatic update today—no sudden turn, no breakthrough moment.
But in the quiet intensity of the pediatric intensive care unit, the family of little Hudson is learning to hold tightly to the small mercies.
Hudson remains critically stable.
This morning, doctors administered Lasix to help remove excess fluid and support his breathing. It’s a careful balance, one adjustment at a time. His kidneys, once a major concern, are showing slow but steady improvement—an answer to countless whispered prayers. For his family, that progress, however small, feels monumental.
Blood pressure has continued to be a battle. Overnight, the PICU team placed an arterial line and made a critical change—transitioning Hudson from epinephrine to norepinephrine. So far, his blood pressure is holding more consistently. It’s not a victory parade, but it is a step forward, and today, that is enough.
Still, the weight is heavy.
Despite being on two of the strongest antibiotics available for nearly 48 hours, Hudson continues to spike fevers over 102 degrees. His inflammation and sepsis markers are alarmingly high—higher than his mother has ever seen. The numbers on the screen tell a story no parent is ever prepared to read, and the fear behind them is difficult to put into words.
While Hudson fights silently in his hospital bed, the rest of the family is fighting in their own ways.
This afternoon, Mimi stepped in so Mom could spend time with Gavin and Olivia—siblings trying to make sense of a world that suddenly feels fragile and unfair. Each child is processing the situation differently, and a mother’s heart stretches impossibly wide, trying to be everywhere at once.
Tonight, she will return to Hudson’s bedside—where she belongs, where love keeps vigil.
Earlier today, in the midst of machines, monitors, and mounting anxiety, she found a small moment of peace. Through art therapy, she gently doodled on Hudson’s cast—tiny drawings filled with hope. She imagines a future moment when he opens his eyes, sees the artwork, and smiles.
It’s a simple dream.
But right now, simple dreams are powerful.
In a place defined by uncertainty, this family is choosing faith, love, and gratitude for every breath, every steady number, every small mercy. And they continue to believe—quietly, fiercely—that Hudson’s story is still being written. 💙🙏✝️
