As a father myself, I cannot imagine what Quickgloves is going through with his newborn son, Weston. He has asked that we all pray for his son, and even though I'm disinclined to be religious myself, I'm sending him and his family the best thoughts and prayers I can.
Quote:If you read this an dont know by now that My family is in need of support. PLease start a thread on any forum on facebook on anytyhing an please try to get prayers\, postivite enrgy or anything for my son. Things are not looking good. Quickgloves aka "Baby Jesus": https://www.facebook.com/jason.selby.7Quickgloves aka "Baby Jesus": Update 9 : This is the hardest message I think that I, and pray that I will ever have to write. When you are done reading this please share it on any forum an page any place people will see it an lend there prayers an support. My son's life is in the hands of GOD an relies on his miracles from here on out. Mandy went back to see Weston today. The renal doctors met with her an gave there report. Weston took major damage to his kidneys. Damage that could be non-recoverable. He is too small an too young for treatments. If he does not push through an his kidneys continue to not function properly he will not survive. In the next 7-10 days Weston an God will decide his future. The renal doctors said that in that time he will either shows signs of proper kidney function or not. I have never felt so broken as I do now. My son is gravely Ill. An I can do nothing more to help him. Mandy is a wreck if you know her please contact her. I am doing everything I can to not loose my head. I have never been so terrified or felt so much pain as I do now. Please I beg for your compassion I plead for your kindness an prayers. God Please save my son.
This is a direct quote from Quickgloves only an hour or so old via Skype, and I hope that everyone, whether inclined, or not, will send him and his family the very, very best thoughts we can muster amidst us.

Still passing on the updates. This one is courtesy of virgindestroyer7 via Skype.
"Update 11: God is merciful an God is just. So many of you have opened your hearts to my family. So many of you have taken time just to send your thoughts of encouragement to my son. Yesterday at 1 pm Mandy was giving Wes mouth care. She noticed a small bubble of blood coming from his mouth. She grabbed a nurse an the storm began.Weston fought for 6 hours. He fought hard. All while prayers an love were being sent from around the world.
God heard are pleas for kindness an mercy. Weston has made it through the night. The doctors are even pleasantly surprised that he is able to see another sun rise. They think that Wes had an infection that caused massive internal bleeding.
They are still removing a small amount of blood from his abdomen. Weston is still extremely sick. His kidneys,lungs an liver are all hurt. He is very critical, however he has survived an acute blood loss trauma for the second time. first at birth an again now. The doctors are optimistic that if we can stay ahead of anymore roadblocks that they will be able to address the other less concerning issues Weston has. The hernia is in his ******* an he has some discoloration they think blood from his abdomen dropped down. A surgeon was here again to address that an the possibility of an internal injury. Weston has had to have 12 transfusions now. That is a massive amount of blood product for a newborn. Weston is on morphine an anxiety medicine to lower his elevated heart rate (202) they dropped it to (177) its still a bit high but considering all the stress they think its OK. Mandy an I are going to be trying to stay here now hopeful to get lodging. So guys thanks for everything, but don't stop now please. Wes is a fighter for sure, but its round 9 an he is gassed out. Wes when you come home an learn how to use Facebook you will see all of this. you will see how your mom an dad love you so much an how your family in SVER love you an how so many people that never met us or you care about you. Weston your life is blessed by God an so am I . Ty again to everyone I will post again as the day progresses. If you come to visit from Jersey please call me I had no time to grab clothes, toiletries, or anything when i headed up hear last night."
Still sending all my best wishes and support. |

UPDATE FROM QUICKGLOVES
Update 14: Today Weston has had three major things done. First was the Transfer from one form of ventilator to another. He is currently unable to breath on his own due to the amounts of morphine that he is receiving.
Secondly they transferred a line from his stomach to his arm to in order to give him more nutrients. They attempted to give him a pick line which will go directly to his heart, but they were unsuccessful.
Third thing is currently going on as I write this. They are giving my son a spinal Tap. I am very nervous about this. Terrified is a better word. In hope the doctors want to test for meningitis. They want it to come back negative so they don't have to treat as long with antibiotics. The longer they treat for infection the less nutrition Wes is getting. THe sooner they can stop treatment for infection the faster they can give him what he needs.
His kidneys are still not showing improvement but he is still able to control dangerous levels in his blood without much support. He is swollen with edema still because he isn't urinating properly.
I have to now show my thanks to all of you. I have seen 2 charity collections for my family. As it stands Mandy an I are out of work to be with are son. He could be here for months an I would not care. The fact that you have all come to support us with prayers an thoughts was good enough for me. Now you have all reached into your hearts an sent physical support. The money that you have collected is going to support are stay in Philadelphia so we can be here for are son. I tearfully thank you all.
I am working with agencies to postpone collections on many bills due to the current state of things an all your help is so appreciated.
SVER you guys are showing the world why we say we are family. Video gamers around the world are chastised day in an day out for being outcast or socially awkward. You who may have never met me or been an enemy in a online world have shown tremendous support to us. The flowers the money the gifts. We are the Brotherhood. I love you guys. An to all the dusties reaching out TY.
To my family an friends You have seen us in are lowest hour an worked to keep us hopeful. Everyday that passes is a day We cherish. Every moment i have to look at my son is a moment i would never trade. Weston does not know how fortunate he is to have such a family in real life or in the online gaming world. Thousands of you have messaged me with prayers an wishes, support an love. I never imagined this much support. I hope that Weston's story touches lives of people that see this years from now. Every birthday Wes has I will re-read all of this. As each day goes my hope grows.
As each moment passes my breathing grows steady. My family is in a very rough spot, but with all of you helping us an sending us rays of hope an prayers full of love this journey is by no means easy but you are all making it a lot smoother.
With a most sincere appreciation My family Thanks you so much! |

So I took the time send all these from QG facebook wall.
Update 16 : 10/5 7:18 pm
Weston was doing well for about 36 hours. He had been switched successfully from an oscillator to a ventilator. His morphine drip was reduced an he began to move again. His counts were also holding steady. This morning his labs were not the best. He had to have yet another transfusion. His 14th to be exact. They began to change his anti-biotic. They want to try an give him more nutrition, but are unable to because his kidneys are still not working properly an the amount of anti-biotic is keeping the doctors hands bound because of his fluid limit.
Now I am no man of false hope I fully understand Weston is sick. However I feel that I must share with you the few moments of joy that I share with Mandy an Weston in the days that we spend together.
Today Weston was moving an trying to open his eyes. He was fighting his battle an I could see it as I stared down at him. Every move he made you could see his tenacity. He actually managed to breath over the ventilator a few times today. Every beep that machine made was like a surge of energy for Mandy and I. A sign of hope way off in the distance.
Mandy an I were blessed with the support of are cousins today. They stood by us these last 2 days giving us support through love an comedy. You guys kept us focused on the good things. An we thank you for being here.
A women came to Mandy an I at the hospital the other day. She offered words of encouragement. she handed Mandy and I a Guardian angel medal an a prayer. Mandy an I have been praying to Weston's guardian angel now every day and we will continue every day for as long as we both live. Wes, you are a beacon of light an hope for all of us.
The war is far from won, But today even with the transfusion, and changes made to antibiotics, it was a good day. Wes every day you fight to be with us is a good day an I will never take that for granted. Thank you for being in my life. |

Update 17: Weston opened one eye today! He looked over at Mandy an I.
I was lost for words. Mandy cried an spoke to him softly. She about crushed my hand from squeezing it. I was over-whelmed with pride. Wes an I shared only a brief gaze together. It was worth it. Every moment spent by his bed every time i startled myself awake to check on him from the metal chair i sit in next to his bed. Just to get that moment between us. A moment where he knew I was here for him. I sent a picture to my brothers an mother one of them can post it my phone is not smart enough!
Yesterday the doctors for a second time failed a procedure known as a spinal tap. It consist of them inserting a needle into the spine an drawing a fluid they can test for a infection. They intend to send my son to a radiology department to use equipment to guide the pick line hopefully tomorrow. All in all he is doing good today. Urine output is about the same so he is still able to keep the dangerous levels in his blood low. They are again changing his nutrients to increase the amount they can give him an optimize the nutrients. It was nice today for Mandy an I to spend some alone time with him an actually have him move an react to are voices. He is strong very strong. His ability to give us so much joy is amazing.
Weston Good job today Mommy an Daddy love you so much!
I have been flooded with text messages emails an letters of love from all of you. I again Thank you all so much for everything. I have to draw attention to something that I have of pride in. The family of gamers that i play online with have gone above an beyond to support me. They view me as family friend an even in game enemy. Here is a thread of all of them showing support. A brief insight to my hidden world of online gaming.
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=113807 Here is a link to all the people that know I play video games an don't understand why I say its something they have to experience to understand. |

Update 18 : 1-0/8 4:23 p.m.
So today Mandy and I spoke to a swarm of different specialist.
Ne o-ontology, Hematology, Ne-phrenology an a few others. Each had many different things they wanted to discuss.
We woke to a call from the hospital about Wes. He was once again bleeding, this time in his lungs. They gave him another transfusion of plasma. Taking his total number of blood product transfusions to 15.
Then they used suction to remove the secretion and blood from his lungs. They x-rayed to search for bleeding an noticed his breathing tube had migrated south. So they re-adjusted. After hours of deliberation as to the cause of the bleeding they decided that it is possible that the tube irritated the trachea causing bleeding or that the tube was rubbing the wall of his lung causing bleeding. Just to be certain they sent the Hematology team to check him.
The Ne-phrenology team was much less supportive. They gave us detailed information on the damages Wes sustained. As of now they are confident in assuming little baby Wes only has about 10 percent of normal kidney function. A very low number. His Keratin levels, which are an indication of kidney function for his age an weight should be about (.02). They are currently staying steady at a whooping (6.4) that is a huge difference an not in the good way. Now the reality is that Wes has a chance of a full recovery. It may take weeks, months or even longer: But there is a chance of recovery.
The fact that Weston is producing urine is a good thing. He is still keeping dangerous levels under control. So the kidney doctors are very optimistic that he is trying to recover. So keep him in your prayers he stills need them! Every day is a battle an Weston is undefeated so far. |

Update 20 : its 12:25 a.m October 10th 2013. Since September 25th I have lived in a bubble. A bubble that I never want anyone to ever have to experience.
I have met so many great people an have such a supportive family an collective of friends. Still I find myself sitting here in the wee hours of the morning trying to keep my composure. I have always claimed to be a strong independent person. Even moved away from everything just to prove I could do it on my own. I did what I told everyone I was going to do. I proved to myself that I had the strength, the intelligence an the courage to take on the world by myself an conquer the challenges that would be set before me. I planned, an trained myself for these tasks. Even after I met Mandy I adapted to care for her, to protect her, to love her. An as pattern is proven I again adapt and endure to care, love, an protect my son.
I never imagined that I would have to endure the current events even in my wildest nightmares. I never planned on being so helpless. I never thought I would be so taxed an deprived that I would rely on everyone around me to keep me strong. I have always made attempts to be the lone soldier. The calm amongst the storm. Especially for Mandy. yesterday was a long day. Weston had to have yet again 2 more transfusions, his numbers did not improve an once the sun comes up I am to meet with a collective of doctors to talk about my sons options.
I am tired. I am sad. I am terrified. I am doing everything I can to save face in front of Mandy. I fear her to fragile to see me in a weakened state. I did not even know how hurt I truly am until today. Many times I have choked back tears to shine strong for Weston an Mandy. So many times I walk outside into the cold air just to try an numb the feelings I have or to confuse the senses into feeling the cold instead of the sadness.
Weston you are so pure an innocent. so defenseless to this world. So wonderful yet so sick. I am praying that as I sit here an pour my heart out, as I show how sad I am, as I beg for God's compassion to save you: to heal you: to give me strength That he hears me.
So many of you offer encouragement an hope. I have not lost it. I am just so desperate to show my humanity without the fear of worrying my wife that I choose to do it here. Mandy as we all know barely ever goes online or uses anything electronic. So I don't intend for her to read this. She knows I love her so much an I am going to be there for her an our Son. I am just vexed. I hate this feeling that I have. This pit in my stomach the pain in my chest the fear I see in my eyes when I stare at myself in the mirror.
This nightmare that I am living is real. An as a man I must endure. I ask for God's forgiveness in my moment of weakness. I ask for the love of my wife an son to forgive me for any in-abilities I have shown. I am trying. I am trying so very hard to be there for you. To stand against the tide as it belches out these tragedies on are family.
I will wear my armor proud as I stand before you. Weston an Mandy I will be your man of steel. I will love you forever an always. I am so sorry for the challenges we must endure, but we must endure.
Angel of God my guardian dear
To whom his love commits me here
Ever this day or night
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule an guide
Amen |
