Shay had his chest area cleaned out this afternoon. This process went good. There is a little bleeding on the heart but they believe this may be due to the blood thinning medicine that he is on. Shays vitals are still good and he is now on a sleep sedation instead of a paralysis sedation. The culture came back on the infection in Shay's body and they found that they have been treating him with the antiobiotics that they needed. Shay had another echo performed on his heart this afternoon. This brings with it some good news. The right ventricle has shown no improvement but the left side is looking a little stronger.
It was a tough day being away from Shay but I know he is in good hands with Mom and Dad. Mom is doing a great job at what great moms do best and that is taking care of their sick babies! Many of you know Shay's dad as being the wild man but I want everyone to know that I am proud of my brother. I was able to be in the room with Shay and his dad and it was good to see the other side of my brother that I don't see a whole lot. He is a good dad. I can speak about his soft side without fear of being knoocked upside the head because he is 350 miles from me.
My request for everyone on this blog tonight it to petition the Lord and Savior above to make Shay's right ventricle strong. Please join me in specifically praying tonight that God will show us favor and make Shayboy's right ventricle strong. Expect an update around 10:00 this evening.

Dear Heavenly Father, We are asking that you hold Shay in your loving, healing arms; and ask that you heal Shay's heart and body. You created him perfectly in your image. We know you can heal his heart and body. Dear God, give Shay and his family the strength and faith they need. We ask in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
ReplyDeleteFrom a friend and co-worker of your Mom. Love you all.

ReplyDeleteShay,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a champion. Fight hard and we will continue the fight for you; through our every thought, prayer, and through our actions. You have no idea how many people your story has brought closer to Jesus, their family, and everything important in life. You bring out the BEST in everyone and we will see you again when your heart starts to PUMP UP THE JAM!!!! Did I just really date myself using that slogan/song???????
Much Love,
Aunt (kinda, sorta, we’ll count it) Sarah Davis
