Hey, it's Christy again. Danny and I talked with the Doctors and here is what we know...
Shay did not wake up after his surgery on Monday, this could be due to the fact that when they did the dialysis last night they tested the fluids they pulled off of him and he still had quite a bit of the sedation medicine in his blood, in fact they found that he still had traces of other medicines that they had not given him since Friday. Shay did have some type of siezure yesterday evening, from the chest down his body was shaking, and after they gave him medicine for siezures, it stopped. Siezures are not a good sign, but since it was not a typical siezure that is normally seen in these cases, we are hopeful. The CAT scan done yesterday did not show any swelling in his brain. Shay made it through today's operation without any real issues.
Game Plan: We wait. We wait for Shay to go through about 48 hours on the Prisma Dialysis machine in hopes that the machine will clear most of the medicine from his blood so that he can wake up and the Dr.'s can evaluate his brain function. We wait to see if he is stable enough to have the MRI done tomorrow. This would hopefully give us a better picture of just what is going on in that beautiful head of his. :) We wait to see if the lower portion of his left lung will heal and re-inflate properly. The next couple of days are all about waiting.
I think God may be testing our patients on this one, we have nothing to do for the next couple of days but wait, and yes, you guessed it, pray. God is allowing us time to lift Shay up in prayer once again, and that is exactly what we are asking you all to do. Pray for Shay's healing, his strength, that God will comfort him through this trying time. Please pray for Shay.
Thank you all!
Danny & Christy

Danny & Christy -
ReplyDeleteI'm praying that God would head Shay and that you two would feel His overwhelming love and peace.
I was reminded today of the verse where the angel comes to the shepherds and says "Fear Not". I pray that you would have no fear, that you would be able to entrust Shay to God and rely on Him alone.
Thank you for being so faithful in updating this blog.
