They have finished with surgery, they removed the upper left lobe of his lung, the remaining lower left lobe is still infected but they are hopeful that medicine will heal this in time. They were able to get Shay off the bypass machine and for now, he is holding his own.
The big test will come later tonight, the Dr.'s want Shay to wake up so they are not going to give him any sedation medicine. They want to do some tests to see if he has suffered any signifigant brain injury while they were administering CPR. Please concentrate your prayers on Shay's brain function. Please Lord, continue to show us your miricles and preserve Shay's brain, keep him whole, show him your love.
This will be my last post tonight, I will follow up in the morning. Thank you again for your continued prayers!
Christy

I've checked Shay's blog constantly this evening and I pray Chris and Danny will be doing anything Shay asks as soon as the medicine wears off. Shay is a tough guy and if anyone can beat this I'd bet on Shay! Hang in there big guy, God isn't done with you yet!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Aunt Netta
P.S. love you guys more than words can say..
In the midst of all the turbulence tonight I am very proud of some people that I want to mention.
ReplyDeleteFirst Danny and Christy. I talk about how tough Shay is well apparently he is chip off the old block. I have experienced this tragedy as an uncle not as a parent so I can only imagine what they are experiencing. They have stayed strong and held it together and have been at Shay's side every moment. They have stayed postive and kept the faith in times when it would be easy not to.
Second my daughter Haley. She is a true prayer warrior and has committed herself to seeing that she does everything to help her Shayboy get better. Tonight in the midst of chaos she reminded me of what Pastor Kevin had preached on Sunday. She said dad "we need to find joy in this situation." She called me, Kelly, Macey, Emaley and Grandpa Don into the living room for a circle of prayer when he was in code. I am so proud of this young lady.
Finally I am proud of all of you. A body of believers that have dedicated themsleves to praying for Shay. I know our Heavenly father is proud as well. I am amazed at the scope of people that are praying for Shay. God uses this type of trauma to bring his people together and to cause them to come closer to him. You all can rest in knowing that your faith is being strengthed by this.
As I read this post for a young man I have yet to meet, oh but I will someday, I just sit and cry. You may ask why? The tears I have are not in sadness right now but with his Uncle Chris's post that I just read, it is amazing how so many people are touched by this young man's life. Of course his family is, but it is just profound to me that strangers to him are just as touched. It was not surprising to me that Chris and Kelly's daughter raised him up in prayer at such a critical moment, I have known Kelly for years and knowing the type of person she is makes me realize that there are people out there raising their children to love Jesus and believe in him wholeheartedly. Shay will read this and his heart will runneth over with joy too....It brings alot of things into perspective to me tonight. So, I continue to pray for Shay and his family.

I am praying for your healing tonight to give the doctors knowledge and wisdom to make you better. I love you always and you will always be Shay boy to me.

ReplyDeleteSometimes in our weakness we just don't know how to pray, but we can be assured that the Holy Spirit knows our hearts and the love that we have for this family and will intercede.KEEP THE FAITH.
Dear Chris, You and your family have been amazing. You are so very fortunate to have a support group with you to help you. Your faith in Jesus holds you up to help give you the strength to get you through this. Just know that all of us are very affected by your son's illness and pray for him to make a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteShay, I don't know you except through these posts but you seem to be an amazing young man and have been through so much for such a young man. We are all pulling for you and are keeping you and your family in our prayers.
We love you Chris and pray for your entire family. Linda Everhart
Dear Danny and Christy,
ReplyDeleteWords cannot ever tell how much we love you.
There as been a special bond for the 20 years we have known you. When Shay was was born he immediately became part of this bond and even though we have only met Zayne once we loved him immediately too!
Dear Lord, It is sooo hard to write this when you are crying, the tears just come because of our love for this special family that is going through so much pain and suffering.
I know that you, Dear God loves this family and you hear all the prayers for Shay and his family. You know that they are very loving and wonderful desrving family.
Dear Lord please we beg of you to make Shay whole and heal him of this illness. Please lay your hand on him and this family and give them strength through you that today is the day for Shay to be whole after this last surgery and start a new healthy journey.
In your name we pray with all our heart & spirit,
AMEN
All our love,
Mike & Linda & family
