No update on Tom DuBransky. Please just keep the prayers coming.
Reese Stewart has finished his chemo. Unfortunately, one of the chemo meds started to damage his lung function, so the doctors stopped that treatment. They have assured the family that his prognosis is still good, even without this part of the chemo. Understandably, Reese is pretty beat right now and is not feeling his best. Please pray that his strength returns soon, that the pain subsides and that the cancer is gone for good!
We've had a lot of inquiries about little Luke Massey. Rather than try to paraphrase, here's an update right from the family:
"Luke was in PICU for 2 weeks and (now 2 weeks ago!) was transferred to the rehab unit to begin working with Physical and Occupational therapy. He has been doing very well in recovering his basic functions, he is breathing, eating, smiling, holding his own head, using his left side very well, and starting to utilize his right a bit, and learning to sit on his own again. He did go back into surgery tonight to have a shunt put in to drain some excess fluid that he had accumulated. He did great with that and so we will continue with inpatient rehab here in Fresno for probably another week or so before going home if all goes well. We won't quite know the extent of his injury for a while yet, as he is so young and in the scheme of things hasn't learn much as he had just mastered crawling, so it will be quite a while before we know where he may have challenges. He is already surpassing what Doctors expected of him, so we will keep pushing him to continue exceeding expectations! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, and as we have more updates we will try to get them out in a timely manner!"
Here's Luke Massey after emergency surgery
4 weeks and another surgery later. What a miracle!Please join us in our continued prayers that Luke has a full and complete recovery!
Thank you, friends! We feel your love and support as you pray alongside us. God bless you all!
