Well Shay did not come off the vent but he was very alert today. All of his numbers are stable so there is not a lot to report. Those who were fortunate to be at the hospital today got to enjoy some funny moments with Shay. Since there is not a lot to report I thought I would share a few of these stories with you.
- This morning when Shay's dad got there Shay raised up and gave his dad a big hug. I guess he does like his dad after all :)
- My brother told Shay that he was going to have to do a really good job with his physical therapy today because she was really pretty and Shay grinned really big.
-The mom of one of Shay's childhood buddies from Oklahoma was visiting and Shay's mom asked him if he remembered Cindy. Shay shook his head no. Mom asked again "Shay you remember momma Sharkie". Shay shook his head no again. Mom asked Shay for the third time "do you remember Kyle's mom" and this time something went off in Shay's head and he raised up with open arms to give her a hug.
-Shay was raising his hand like he was wanting to write something and the physical therapist asked him if he wanted to write something and Shay nodded yes. She handed him the paper and he scribbled real tiny. They asked him if he could write bigger and it was the same scribble marks but only bigger. Then the nurse asked him what it said and he looked at it and got a confused look on his face, puzzled himself by what he had just written.
So as you can tell Shay was full of hugs today and it definately made for an enjoyable day for the family. His aunt Kelly is a little jealous right now and I can onely hope he is still in the hugging mood when we arrive Tuesday night. As of right now the plan is for Shay to be off the vent on Tuesday. For those of you interested in t-shirts the cost is going to be $11.

Hey Wild Man! Wow, what a day. It sounds a little more like the Shay we know. I am so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteIn church this morning the pastor was talking about when the Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness. (See Pastor Kevin, I was paying attention!) God continued to give them exactly what they needed for that day. God did not forget about them nor did He grow weary in taking care of them. The same is true for you. I'm excited to hear how God has supplied all your needs today and can't wait to hear about tomorrow. We love you and are still praying for you (and your folks) many times a day.
Keep resting up. You have birthday cake to eat in about twelve days. If I have anything to do with it, it will be chocolate. ha ha
Hey Shay,
ReplyDeleteIt's Aunt Carol. You can't imagine how excited I was when I recieved my hug tonight. It made my day! And you know when Uncle Lloyd recieved his big ole hug he was just tickled pink! You are looking good buddy. I know it's going to be a long road, but I know you can do it. I can't believe how much progress you have made in just a few days. I hope you are ready for alot more hugs. Your 2nd mom and dad are on their way Tuesday from Fair Grove!
A friend of mine,Kris Acree, who is a nurse at Childrens Hospital, came across of this verse in our "Journey" daily devotional. I thought I would share it.
Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him. Psalm 62:5
Steps of Faith:
Lord, help me to cling to You during stressful times. Remind me of Your presence and love for me in whatever I face today. Amen
We love you so much Shayboy,
Uncle Lloyd, Aunt Carol, Alyssa & Savannah

Shay,
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice seeing you yesterday and getting a hug from you. I told Kyle guess who gave me hug today and made him guess 3 times, he actually finally guessed it was you, he was so happy with this news. He said as soon as I pick him up from the airport on Dec. 21st we are heading straight to see you no matter what! I'm so happy you are continuing to improve and I pray for you each and everyday.
Love ya,
Mama Sharkey
Hey Shay, I am so excited I get to see you tomorrow. You better be saving me up a big hug, because you know I will be hugging all over you:) I talked to your dad this morning and he thinks the doctors will take you off the vent tomorrow, that is GREAT! He said we still have lots of work to do on your liver and kidneys. I was thinking of they song we sang at vacaion bible school this summer Everlasting God. If you remember it starts off Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, Our God he reigns forever, our hope our strong deliver, You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God, you will not faint, you won't grow weary, you comfort us when were in need and so on. We also sang that in church yesterday morning and tears fell from my eyes, this song makes me think of you Shay. It is funny because Uncle Chris and I were talking after church and he said he was fighting hard not to cry when he heard this song because it reminds him of you. I really think strength will rise on your kidneys and liver as we wait upon the Lord. You keep fighting hard buddy and we will keep on praying for your body to heal. I love you so much, you are always on my mind. I can not wait for the day you are back in Fairgrove with us. I love you and can not wait to see you tomorrow!
