My son had a severe seizure two days ago. In the span of ten seconds he went from a healthy two month old baby to fighting for his life. His heart stopped for several minutes before the paramedics could restore his heartbeat. His brain has swollen and the prognosis is doubtful at best. I've never seen anything more frightening or agonizing in my life.
I feel blessed to have had him for two months. If there are miracles, we sure could use one.

I'm praying for all of your family too. That the Lord grant you a miracle on your baby's life, and if not that He grants you all the miracle of being resigned to His will. The best for you all always.

Having this happen to a child, at any age, is the hardest thing to go through in life. May you have better news later.
Beagle,

Deign to raise this sick child from his bed of suffering, and to restore him safe and sound to his parents.
Through our Lord..

I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish the best for your baby and your family.
Megan (from LGF)
My littlest just turned six months old. I cannot imagine being where you are right now, Beagle--all I know is when I read your post--for a fraction of a second in my mind I was picturing my son and what if--and now I still can't stop the tears from welling or my hands from shaking.
May God grant you strength in this time of great anxiety, and may He grant your child a refuah shlema, a complete and total healing.
Our family prays for you all.
Beagle, you and your family are in my thoughts. I sincerely hope that the miracle of modern medical treatments can help to save your baby.
Beagle,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. I cannot even comprehend what you are going through. You must be strong.

SHUT UP! you ignorant fool.
human nervous tissue is capable of growth and differentiation, even regeneration, before the age of seven. If Alex makes it through this he could be perfectly normal.
You and your family are in my prayers. I pray that God will comfort you throught this terrible time, give you strength, and heal your son.
Miracles happen daily. I will pray for your son and family.
Sorry for your pain and I will say a prayer for your baby and his loving family.

Still praying for you and yours Beagle. Know that all of your fellow LGF'ers are sending you all the best.

Beagle,
Praying for you and your family
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psalm 46
((((Beagle's baby boy))))

The L-rd bless and keep you close to His Heart.
Beagle
So many people are asking about you on LGF..so many! Your precious baby, you and your wife are in all our hearts and prayers.
May G-d bless you.
Seriously though, is he dead yet?
Beagle, I join hands with all others and wish the Lord to grant you and your wife strength, and the little one-health. My thoughts are with you.

Beagle, you and your family are blessed to have so many good friends as the commentors here and others that come around but don't comment. That is a treasure, to have good friends. May God bless your whole family abundantly.

When I heard this news, I flashed back in my mind to your posts about your son, the pride and love you had for him and wrote about so simply. May God give you and your wife strength in this ordeal.
RickZ
[And whoever the idiot wishing for this child's death is, you are incredibly cruel and heartless. May your wishes be visited upon you and your family.]
Beagle and family,
Praying for God's grace to be with you during this terrible time. Please let us lizards know if you need anything more than prayers and good wishes.
I am so sorry to hear about your little. It hurts my heart just thinking of what you and yours are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Beagle, I just heard, courtesy of quark2. I am so sorry to hear of the pain you and your family are undergoing. I wish your son a speedy recovery and, for you and your wife, comfort. You are all in my prayers.

I will have your son in my thoughts & prayers. May G-d grant him a complete and speedy recovery.

God has granted my family a miracle and I pray He does the same for you. There are lots of folks out here in the electronic ether sending up lots of prayers and good thoughts. I know God is listening.

Everyone at LGF is concerned for you and your family. I only know you through LGF, and I feel awful about this... I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is for you.

Wanted to add my name to those who are there with you in spirit. Please, do not hesitate to let everyone know if there is anything else we can do.

Adding my thoughts & prayers, Beagle.

Whoever hijacked my nic at 3:53 PM is scum. May this sick individual go through more pain and hurt than you will ever know. We have a feeling that this , and the other 2, are from an alleged other blog, whose posters are more than capable of doing this, and have already done this to others.
My prayers are with you, your wife and precious son, as are those of all the LGF family.G-d bless you.
So sorry to hear about your little guy's illness, Beagle. My thoughts and hopes that all will be well are with you and your family.
Beagle I wish I could break into your account to erase some posts. I've already asked around on LGF for someone to help me do that. Nobody seems to know though.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
You and your family are in my prayers. He knows our coming in and our going out, He knows when we slumber and when we wake, He knows all and He cares for us all.
Your child is in my prayers, as are you and your entire family.
God bless you,
A friend from LGF
I just got this wonderful news in an email from PDM , @ LGF:
"#31
Thanks for your support. And thanks to everyone who had kind words over at Politics and Religion. I'm home for a while. My wife doesn't want me to drive back to the hospital in the rain.
I haven't had a chance to read any Islamopathy. The first day's messages were very encouraging and thoughtful. I fear reading the e-mail alerts I get for posts on my blog now. Oh well. I'm a big boy.
I'll know it's from real Muslims if it's in leet and they offer oral sex."
And this, from RWC:
"But more importantly - Alex is still with us.
As I'm discovering from my consultations with neurologists concerning my son (now in the ICU for three days with minimal brain activity), it depends on whether your EEG's are flat or show some sqiggly lines. My son does show some squiggly lines, albeit far below normal.
It is heartening to know that some people come out of prolonged states of unconsciousness.
I never knew a seizure could cause the heart to stop. According to my son's doctor I probably saw what causes many unexplained SIDS cases. He punched the air a couple times in a bizarre fashion, his face instantly turned blue, and he was near death within ten seconds. Luckily, I was calling 911 as soon as his face turned blue. As it turns out, instantaneous bluing of the face is a sign of seizure activity, not lack of oxygen in the body. The brain controls the blood flow to the face.
This is my post for the day. I need to take care of the dogs and get back to the hospital. I thought I'd let you know what happened.
Keep up the prayers"
Thank G-d, the prayers are helping!
Beagle, take care!
Beagle, prayin' continuously for little Zanderman, your wife, and you. Frantically worried about y'all.
SwampWoman
You cannot, no matter how dire the circumstances, allow them to pull the plug on him.
Even if he's just got the smallest of EEG wiggles and never opens his eyes again for the next 50 years, you must hold out for a miracle. Where there's life, there's hope. Terri taught me that.
Beagle, I hope and pray that your baby will be all right. I'm so sorry this happened. Bless you and your family.
J.D.
Beagle,
So sorry to hear about your precious child. Thoughts and prayers are with you, your entire family, your little one and those tending to him. Keep prayin' and keep the faith. Bless you all.
-Clutch
May an Angel be on its way to your family.
G-d has been known to work in mysterious ways, especially when manifesting His handiwork through the blessing of a child.
In twelve years when your son is eating more than you, talking about which girl dumped him and leaving your tools outside to rust, you will understand. And you will rarely remember these days.
I know this first hand.
My prayers are with you and your baby.
Crom
I'm so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care, and may God bless you and your family.

Dear Lord protect beagle's family.
Yankee Zionist
Dear Lord please give Beagle better sperm.
May the Lord hold Beagle, Mrs. Beagle and Alex in His grace. These are such trying times, Chip. Know that you've got a million arms around you.
May the retarded name jacking/trolling dirtbags who think this is an approptiate topic to play games on feel His wrath, preferrably in a most painful and immediate manner.
Beagle,
Your family is in my prayers. Don't give up hope!
Mr. Papageorgio
Beagle, my prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. May God comfort and steady you all. Get well, Beagle, Jr.!
And may He also grant jlfintx and its Yugo a 25 vehicle pileup full of nothing but cement mixers and pig trucks!
Beagle, jlfintx has asked me to tell you that he wasn't the one who posted the nasty comment that had his name (although I'm sure you already know that). We all send love and hugs and prayers to you and your family.
cba is right I have nothing against your sperm.
Beagle:
I grieves me to see someone use NY Nana's and my nics and post those hateful things. I pray that God brings conviction and repentance on them. I pray for you and your family.
In that order, too.
jlfintx:
It is unthinkable that any alleged human being could be so evil when this is about a baby that so many people are praying for.
Thank you for speaking out. All that matters is Alex, Chip and his wife.
Anyone who knows you would never for a second think that you would post anything like that here. Namejacking our names on a thread like this is despicable.There has already been so much of it on other blogs, but here?
Again, let's continue the prayer circle and hope to see more good news from Chip! That is what this is all about.
NY Nana:
The response right after the one I made about them using your and my nics was not me either. Some people are just lost, what can we say. It does hearten me to be on friendly terms with you and others and I thank God for using a tradegy to heal some broken relationships. I also continue to pray for Chip, Alex and Mom.
jlfintx
G-d bless you. It is something like what Chip is going through that should be the very most important thing to all of us, and as a mother and grandmother this hurts on a visceral level, and you and almost all of us are joined in prayer for a beloved 2 month old baby who reminds us of the fragility of life. Alex is what binds us together, for it is this baby who we are here for. One does not have to be a parent to feel this, just a member of the human race.
I have no explanation of how such malevlolence can show itself in a situation like this, at least none that I would post.
Alex has brought us all here, and our love for Chip and the empathy we feel for Chip and his wife cannot be ruined by who or whatever is so cruel. No one ever knows what life has in store, and the evil one knows not that they could find themselves in such a situation..but who would be there to offer comfort?
Anything said in the past has been negated by the plight of a baby and his parents..Beagle is someone we all know and love, and unite for, and we will all be praying for good news.
To the individual who is bent on spreading hate? You will have to answer to G-d for what you are doing.
Beagle, we continue to pray for you. Nana, what others do in secret will be exposed. We both know that the moron that keeps posting those hateful things will answer some day. Thanks for your encouraging words and the healing that has occured in my heart with this. God is on His throne.
Continued prayers.
jlfintx
I came back to see if Chip had possibly posted.
What you have said is so true...
I second you and GrannyGrump.
Chip, we are all with you and your wife, as you stay with Alex...and our prayers are being heard by HaShem from all over the world.
Beagle posted this on LGF a little while ago on 'the lizard is watching' thread!
I also posted this on the Tuesday night update here.
Beagle 5/4/2005 09:05PM PDT
Anoles are randy this time of year. I committed coitus interruptus just yesterday in the back yard. It's a big reptile orgy out there.
No change in my son: stable but critical. I'm heading back to the hospital once I get the dogs and cats squared away.
Never take time with your loved ones for granted.
A nice, attractive Muslima RT took care of my son's vent earlier tonight. It's unfortunate that my mind races to all sorts of crimes against humanity while she's being humane."
There is no God to answer to, at least in the traditional sense. As Beagle will soon realize. The notion of a God is only there to scare the children (and me, of course).
If God does answer, it won't be to anyone calling from:
(940) 592-0193
Don't know whose number that is, but I would recommend deleting it when possible. Also, I did not post the last jlfintx as someone needs to get a life. This will be my last post here, so anymore with my nics are obvious forgeries. Keep the faith Chip.

Beagle - it's Satan Sidekick
I have walked in your shoes, and I know what you are going through. You're in a fog like it's some kind of bad dream that you will waken from. I wish it were so.
Whatever comes your way, know that you will have the strength to go on. God only gives us what we can bear.
I pray for you all. And I am here if you need to talk.
Beagle, I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your loved ones are in our prayers, hon.
Catttt
Words are to support though no words can ease the burden of your grief and pain.
You have my deepest sympathy and prayers because it is never something our hearts and minds can understand why.
