Please pray, think good thoughts, whatever you do, please do it..

Update: I talked to one of the guys in my Sunday School class who has been at the hospital most of the day, and he said there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the swelling did increase some, but they are working on getting it back down again. They have also found 2 places where he is bleeding on the brain, and they are trying to resolve that. I'm not sure what all they will/can do for that, but hopefully it's nothing serious.

GOOD NEWS: He was trying to MOVE! When I first heard that they was "flinching" when they moved his IV, I figured it was just some sort of reflex, but they have said they think he is trying to move. He has tried to pull away when they move the IV in his right arm, as well as tried to move his right leg, and some of his left side.

While he still needs prayers, God IS answering the ones that have been said so far, like we knew He would. Please join the FB event if you can to get the word out there even more(See my above post). The first link if the one for the event, and the other is for my FB page in case you cannot get access to the event for some reason.

Thank you! I just cannot believe how many people are joining in on this, but it's amazing It is working!

I am going to the hospital tomorrow, so I should have an update then.

I'm so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with him, his family, you and his friends in hopes he makes a full recovery.

Update: I just got home from the hospital and it seems that he is as stable as he can be, all things considering. His BP dropped really low earlier, but they gave him medicine to get it back up, but then the pressure in his brain went up as well, because as they raised one, the other went up and vice versa. It took them a while to find an okay balance, but they finally did. They also did a chest x-ray and saw some secretion and when they went in with a tube, they drew it out and sent it off to the lab. They think it is pneumonia setting in, but they said that wasn't too major and they expected something like that, so they will probably just give him antibiotics. As of right now, they plan on keeping him in the medically induced coma for a few more days, to see if they can get the brain pressure lowered just a little more. When the pull him out, they aren't sure if he will wake up immediately, or if he is still in the coma he was in when he came out of surgery, but they will cross that bridge when they get there. While he's still very sick and has a long road ahead of him, they are really happy with the progress he is making, and how he is healing. Sorry this was so long, but thanks again for the prayers and good wishes!

Wow.....

How are his parents holding up? I cannot even imagine what they are going through! Please make sure someone is taking care of the household things right now for them. Seems like something so little but it really does help! Our prayers are with him and his family

I have only seen them one time each.. When I went to the hospital a couple of days ago, I saw his mom.. She was still in quite a bit of shock, but it had only been a day, so that's understandable.. I saw his dad today when I went, and he seemed pretty good.. He said his wife was asleep, so he didn't want to bother her, which makes sense.

My prayers for him and family. Is there somewhere we can contribute to family food or lodging near hospital?
