bigjohn691500 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Update about 20 minutes ago,,, remember the hospital they have him in is a 2 hour drive for shawna and she has the kids so she cant be there all the time,, also included pic of my grand kids I called the hospital to check on Chris. He is responding more to pain, which means he is waking up. He had his eyes open but not for long. His vitals are doing good. They are going to be putting the trach and feeding tube in today, so keep him in your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohn691500 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 this was sundays update: I talked to Chris's mom today and Chris opened his eyes and was squeezing her hand and moving his feet. One of my biggest fears was that Chris wouldn't remember the last five years of his life, so his mom asked him to squeeze her hand if he remembered me, and he did. I'm so glad. But we are not completely out of the dark yet. We might have just seen a miracle happen. Please keep him in your prayers this was 12hours ago: (me)he had to have surgery to have a trach put in so they could feed him i guess... (shawna) Chris has finally gotten the trach and feeding tube in and they found out that he has pneumonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroy65 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 The power of prayer is awsome and never ending. You and your family are in my prayers. May the grace of God be with you and yours always. ----Leroy---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 yes it is Leroy,, UPDATE: So, Chris is awake. He is alert. He remembers me. And now he's giving me heck because I can't understand his mumbling of his lips. I want to take that darn trach out so he can talk. He's getting frustrated because he thinks that we can understand him. I feel bad. I started crying because I don't want to frustrate him, it's a miracle that he is alive and has as much memory as he does. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn691500 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 update an hour ago: So, Chris has a partially collapsed lung. He has been moving around on his bed because he wants to get up and move... They removed the temperature regulator machine... I'm so glad that he is alive and glad he is trying to get up and move. I'm so grateful for the prayers that everyone sent his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
