A Miracle

My friend's little one did not end up having a CT scan, but they decided to have an MRI. I cannot begin to tell you the miracle that the Lord has worked so that the little one's Daddy could post the following message on facebook. . . (J=Daddy, K=Mommy, L=little man)

MRI Results...

This is what the doctors have told us:

The brain swelling in L’s left side of the brain has subsided which means they were able to see more black spots which is a very positive sign. The swelling around the brain stem was also reduced which is also a VERY positive thing. Pending any secondary injuries, the doctors said L will LIVE and we should be talking about his rehabilitation process. As to what extent his brain injuries are at, we don’t know, but the doctors said the injured areas are significantly affected meaning that we will only know with time what they are in detail. He is able to completely breath on his own which is very encouraging. They are talking about months of rehabilitation and are realistically saying he will be at (our local children's Hospital) for a year. His ability to speak, see, walk, etc. we do not know at the moment. He will remember and do everything with the parts of his brain which are healthy. For the damaged areas of his brain, he will adapt with those areas, but they cannot be healed.

K & I will embrace the new journey we will have with L and aside from what the doctors said, we know we serve an all powerful God that can heal and bring L to full health as he was before. L chose to live and now and I KNOW a large part of that was because of your prayers. Do we stop praying? No, this is a time to press in even more, every day making him a focus. L is a fighter and will NOT give up. There will be many ups and downs for the next while for K & I, but this is where we will need all of you more and more. You have all been so amazing standing with us during this time, and we look forward to you all standing with us day by day as we continue to walk through this.

We so appreciate all of you—we feel you are all FAMILY!!!

Blessings,

J.
