Well I will start off with the bad news. Its not actaully bad news but not the news we wanted to hear. Some how Shay managed to get air into his lungs so they had to put a chest tube in this morning. What this means is that it will probably be a couple more days before they start talking about taking him off the vent again. Shay also had a pick line put in today. They had to increase his sedation meds so he was not very responsive today.
Now the good news. After not being responsive all day long Shay managed to wake up a little bit for his Uncle Chris and Aunt Kelly. We were sitting there talking to his dad and out of nowhere Shays eyes opened wide and he raised his arm up in the air wanting hugs. So as it turns out all the crying on the way down to Oklahoma by my wife thinking she was not getting her hug turned out to be for not. I can't explain how awesome it was to actually get to look into his eyes and talk to him and have him nod his head in response. I know there is a lot of disappointment in the fact that he did not get off the vent but for those of us that have not seen him in a few days this was a good day.

I miss my son, his wise cracks, goofy stuff he comes up with out of nowhere, his smile, even his complaining. I miss him obsessing over the X-Box he wanted for Christmas, telling me he loves me 100 times a day, I miss my son. He is such a great kid, I just want him back.
ReplyDeletePlease Lord, help Shay to continue to be strong and heal his body. He has worked so hard and has never stopped fighting no matter what has come his way. Help him Dear Lord, help him to fight and heal him. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
I miss you Shay.

Everyone is here for the holiday so we are ready for you to come off that vent and start doing some more hugging and talking. I know you are tired but keep up the fight I know how strong you are, you have shown all of us over the last few weeks.

Merciful God, we ask of you to hear all the prayers of Shay's family and friends. Give Shay and them courage as you heal his body. Help them to face and overcome their fears.

Let your will be done in my friend's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven,Lord, please help him to see his needs and confess.

I have faith in you to heal my friend. Lord, I dont always understand your ways, and why my friend has to suffer, but I trust YOU. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward my friend. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence. Let my friend you are there with him through this difficulty. And may you be glorified in his life and also mine.
