Today, Nov 3 has been exactly 7 months (214 days) since the accident. I haven’t shared any pictures thus far of Seth but I thought I’d post something from the first 2 weeks in the ICU before and on ECMO. Each minute and hour were critical and life saving decisions were made by the amazing doctors and nurses. Steadfast prayers and miracles have brought him through 5 weeks on 2 ICU floors, 6 weeks in an LTAC, and now 4.5 months at a brain injury rehab center. The progress he’s made in these 7 months have been quite amazing considering one doctor in the ICU told us he had “no miraculous intervention”. In hindsight I was upset that he said that but honestly, he was right; he didn’t have it, because only God could provide that.
Last Tuesday, we got word that surgery would be the next day. The Intrathecal Baclofen Pump surgery was done at 4 on Wednesday and we were back at Craig by 6:30pm. He is still in a lot of pain and because of his short term memory, is constantly asking why is back and stomach hurt. They will be doing the first increase of Baclofen today via-what I assume is- a smart phone that tells the pump what to do.
We are praying that healing from this surgery is the last step towards us coming home.
On Seth’s board is the quote, Seth, you’ve survived 100% of your hardest days, Keep going!
Specific prayers today for healing from this surgery, pain to subside and that there are no future complications.
Miraculous healing for all of our friends here at Craig.
Healing for Seth’s uncle, Jason who was in a bike accident yesterday and broke his clavicle in 4 places, 2 broken ribs, and has a small pneumothorax on the left upper lung.
Today is another day to give your family and friends a hug today and tell them you love them.
