We had another setback today with Shay's lungs. Another air pocket developed above Shay's right lung that is trying to collapse it. As a result they had to put another chest tube in slightly above the spot where they just removed the previous one from. Shay's vitals were up and down today but he was more alert at various moments throughout the day. Shay did become alert enough to hand out a few hugs and fist bumps as well as writing the word "sit" requesting to sit up and giving his best effort to whisper back the words I love you. Shay stayed very focused on the OU-OSU game throughout the afternoon. The nurses pretty much leave the TV on college football games because they say he seems more relaxed.
I really don't know how many people outside the immediate family are still reading this blog but for those of you that are still reading this my prayer is that all of the vigelence in prayer that was shown the first few weeks would continue. The bottom line is that Shay is an incredibly sick child. His lungs, kidneys, and liver are not working so we still need everyone praying. God performed a miracle when he stopped the bleeding in Shay's heart. Shay is in need of more miraculous healing. Please continue to pray for Shay and to keep Shay on all the prayer lists you can think of.

Shay and family. You are diligently lifted in our prayers. Your names and specific needs are shared with individuals and churches all over the area as we gather updates. Thank you for sharing your updates with us. You are in the prayers of people you do not even know. Hope for Shay's healing is shared by many. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that many, many people are still reading the blog, but I know even more are praying. Not a day goes by that we do not pray for Shay and for his family. The set backs are hard to take, but healing must be happening in his body. Stay strong.

Dear Stallings family,
ReplyDelete"May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace as you TRUST in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit". Romans 15:13 This prayer went up for you Shay and all of your family from the Walnut Grove Christian Church this morning. Prayer warriors are still at work.

We check the blog every day, and pray without ceasing! Keep working hard, Shay, and we will keep praying! God had worked such an amazing miracle in you so far, He's far from finished! We can't imagine the day-to-day trials, fears, and stresses! And to the rest of the Stallings family, you are always in our prayers as well. Watching Shay has to be tough, stay strong! WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL, ALWAYS!!

I am still here praying from Rogersville, Missouri. I look at the blog several times a day and hope for great things. I believe that God is working a miracle. Patience is not a strong spot of mine however I have to believe that our Creator has a plan for this young man. What a testament he already is!
