You Never Let Go............TSMSS

I'm once again joining Amy for TSMSS .  This song has been on my mind alot the last couple of weeks.

There's not much change in Chris's condition.  They took the tubes out yesterday (Friday), but then had to put them back in.

Also a year or so ago I requested prayer for William with prostate cancer. He is still cancer-free.  But  his daughter (Heather) lost her baby girl at 20 weeks Thursday. 
Thank ya'll so much for the prayers, and words of encouragement.  Someone said to be a few days ago.  They were amazed at our strength, and our faith.  I know it's from the prayers of everyone that has given us the strength and peace that we have had through this.

Update on Chris

I'm sorry it has taken so long for an update but there wasn't much change until today.  Scott went up there this morning and Chris opened his eyes.  Scott asked him if he knew it was his Dad to squeeze his hand and he did. Then he told him you know I love you and Chris nodded.
 He's not off the respirator yet because of the pneumonia and a bacterial infection. But he's making progress. God is so awesome.  The nurse today was the same one as Saturday and she doesn't want him uncomfortable because of the tubes.  So after that she sedated him again. 
Scott has had to go back to work this week.  But after his visit today he felt alot better about it.  He will see him again Friday.  If I hear of any progress before then I will let everyone know.
Prayers are definetly being answered.   Thank ya'll so much for the prayers and encouraging words.

Update on Chris: Now he has pneumonia

I am trying to update everyday.  By the time we got home last night a storm had come through and we were without electricity until almost midnight.  I barely know when my head hits the pillow, until the sun comes up.
Chris now has pneumonia so they had to resume the sedation and respirator to full dosage.  His breathing became labored last night so he's not breathing on his on as well as he was when we left yesterday.
The doctor just considers it a minor setback.  No reduction in sedation or respirator until the pneumonia clears up.
Please continue to pray for him.  Also please pray for Scott he is physically exhausted from driving two hours there and back everyday.
Thank ya'll so much for the prayers, and the encouraging words.  

Update on Chris

They began weaning him off the sedaton and respirator yesterday.  By the time we left yesterday afternoon he was at only 50% sedation and was breathing mostly on his on.  The doctors are optimistic that he will come out of it by Sunday or Monday.   He's gagging on the tubes down his throat but that's good that means he can feel them down there.  He was moving his head, arms, and legs when we left.
They still don't know if his motor skills were effected until he's completely out of sedation. 
God has truly answered our prayers.  It is so amazing how he works in even the smallest of ways.
Scott and I was sitting in the ICU family room in between visiting hours.  A complete stranger began talking to us.  Telling us that he was waiting for his wife that was in therapy.   He wrote down Chris's name and said he would be praying for him.  Then he shook Scott's hand and said Jesus wanted me to tell you that He loves you and he has it all in control.
Thank ya'll so much for all the prayers.  We have felt such peace all week because of the prayers that has been said in our behalf. 

Update on Chris's condition

There is no change in Chris's condition. There's no decrease in the swelling on his brain, but theres no increase either.  Other than possibly some pneumonia trying to develop.
We will know more about any effect to his motor skills when the swelling on the brain goes down and they can bring him out of sedation.   He won't be out of critical condition until then. 
Thank ya'll so much for the prayers.   They mean so much to us.

Update on Chris

Chris is in stable but critical condition.  He is in ICU in a hospital in Macon.  There is severe head trauma but no paralysis.  The next 72 hours will be crucial of determining the outcome.  I'm going up there first thing in the morning and will keep ya'll updated as much as possible.  Thank ya'll so much for your prayers.  Ya'll will never know how much they mean to us.                              

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Scott just got a phone call that his oldest son Chris has been in an auto accident this morning.  The details are sketchy, but they are saying he may not make it.   His son lives about 2 hours north of us, but Scott is out of town working again this week.  So he's at least three hours away from him.  Please pray for Scott's safety and that it won't be as bad as they think.  But most importantly please pray for Chris's salvation.  As far as we know he's not ready to meet the Lord if it is his time to go.  Will keep ya'll up to date as much as possible.  But if I go up there I may not have access to the internet.
Thank ya'll so much.
