Kristy just called with another update. The doctors at the hospital where Samuel is staying are currently conducting a brain scan to ascertain how severe the brain anomalies are at this time. The current plan is to insert a shunt and a trach into Samuel to help with his issues.
Samuel's body is also not disposing of O2 properly. Kristy is concerned that this could be fatal.
Everything is very uncertain. They do not know how long Samuel will survive.
Right now, they are just asking for prayer for the family. Please pray that they will continue to feel peace as they continue down this journey. Please pray that Jeff has strength and guidance as he is alone with Samuel at the other hospital. Please pray that Jeff and Kristy have guidance when it comes to making decisions about Samuel's care...at what point is the intervention too much?
Thank you so much for all the thoughts and prayers. I know Kristy and Jeff are aware of all the people praying for them, and can feel the love that surrounds them from all over the country.
More updates to come!
