Today was a positive day!

For those following his numbers: ICP 11 CPP 64 BP 112/63 HR 88 (yay!) PO2 15 (yay!) ventilator 60% (he was at 100% this morning and 40% is the goal)

They were able to decrease his sedation while his cranial pressures stayed within range. They were able to suction and turn him which he tolerated on the lower sedation.

His left chest tube was taken out and is doing well. He still has the right chest tube in. No fever so he seems to be responding to breathing treatments and antibiotics.

CT scan is tomorrow at 4 am (prayers needed from those that are early risers!) This will be the first CT scan since the morning he came in.

Some awesome acts of love today was a prayer circle at Crosswalk and a prayer vigil put on by the ladies at Emmanuel and Lamb of God Lutheran Churches. The picture below shows some of us watching the live stream in the hospital courtyard. Note the many handprints of well wishes from 24 Crosswalk kids! We love the personal artistry of them and they are hanging in his room right now. It was truly touching and we constantly feel the wave of love pouring over us.

We again had friends and family support us by visiting the hospital bringing food, gift cards and other generous gifts, fun activities, a super soft blanket, and a book of poems written by friend, Emma Indahl who actually works here at this hospital.

Today we ask everyone to pray for a few specific things.

1) ICP numbers to go down

2) Sodium levels to go down

3) PO2 numbers to go up

4) A much improved CT Scan!

Love you all!

PS, Pix attached of his meal today.

Continuing to pray daily for Seth and the whole family! Thank you for the updates! May Seth feel God’s presence and strength to fight the battle. Thank you God for this family and for the medical staff caring for them. May You show your love through them to those they meet there who are also suffering at this time. We know Seth is in Your healing hands and we ask that he recover quickly and be a testimony of Your love.

We at Eurofins Eaton Analytical have Seth in all of our prayers. He has been instrumental in the success of our project with the State of Arizona as part of our team. We appreciate the ability to follow his recovery.

My husband is working with a group of several churches and volunteers with Samaritan’s Purse building cabins at Silver Lake Bible Camp in Medical Lake, WA. They are lifting Seth up in prayer daily.
My husband and I are friends with Ray and Mary King. We visit them often in AZ and we know how important your family is to them. They have shared the website with us. You are in our thoughts and we are hopeful that things will continue to improve for your son.
