Today we faced a setback in Isaac’s recovery. He had another temp spike this morning and they gave some motrin and some nutrients to try and control it. That didn’t work well. After labs were taken, they discovered Isaac has an infection in his blood. They are conducting cultures to try and determine what the […]

I want to share with you a video that Isaac showed us before he left for YWAM. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRqDmDohTLM. This video is from a DTS Lecture in Oxford, New Zealand. I believe it represents Isaac’s heart well, and the passion he has to continually be transformed and challenged in faith and obedience for […]

Good news! Isaac had a good day today resting a lot. Last night his feeding tube got clogged so the nurses took it out, but now they can’t get it back in because Isaac is too scrappy and doesn’t like it. So today he was completely off med’s. He slept during the whole morning visit, […]

The flames of hope were fanned yet again today as we watched Isaac move forward in healing. Thank you God for being our ever present help in time of need! Kristi is submitting the update for Isaac tonight. While she is doing that I thought I’d take a moment to introduce her to you. I […]

We had a good day with Isaac. His room in the pediatrics section is nice and quiet. Isaac has still not awakened completely. We were greatly encouraged when the occupational and physical therapists worked with him a little this morning. He did pretty good sitting up on the side of the bed and he did […]

We are so thankful that Hannah was able to join us in Lubbock Monday and Tuesday. It provided a good opportunity for us all as a family to spend with Isaac. Please pray for her as she starts back to school at WTA&M this morning. This has been a very hard trial we are going […]

Praising God tonight for a great visit with Isaac. He is breathing well and looks wonderful. During the break his nurse tested his responses again. He gave a thumbs up and showed the number two! His rating for level of consciousness went from a 7 to 10; 15 is the best. God is incredible! He […]

We are praising God for His unfailing love! The doctors pulled Isaac off the respirator to do some more pulmonary tests prior to surgery today. He was on the respirator all day Sunday, because they pulled out the chest tube and wanted to ensure the lungs were being fully expanded to prevent infection. Isaac had […]

Isaac is doing well on his breathing, but he’s still not responding like he should be to commands. The Dr.s have decided that it’s best to put in the Trach (breathing tube that goes in his neck) and Peg (like a feeding tube directly to his stomach.) This will allow him to heal quicker, get […]
