Prayers are needed

About 5:15 pm this evening the nurse came out and let us know that Shay was in full Code and they had shocked his heart and given him medicine, but they were administering CPR and doing all they could.  About an hour later she came back out to let us know that Shay was given CPR for about 40 minutes before they were able to get him hooked up to the Ekmo (bypass) machine.  He was having bleeding issues and they were trying to get his blood pressure stable and they would proceed with the lung surgery.
Our last contact with the nurse was about 30 minutes ago, they will be removing the upper lobe of his left lung, he is still having bleeding issues and they are going to attempt to get him off the bypass machine when they complete the surgery.

At this point, all we can do is ask for your continued prayers and support.  I will report again later once we get word that they are completed, it is going to be a very long night.
