Prayers needed

Contributors to this thread:
Some will remember a few years back that my step son suffered from an AVM that burst and caused a brain hemorrhage. He was in rough shape but pretty much fully recovered. Last week he was driving and the repair that they did on the avm let loose causing not only another brain hemorrhage, but also him to roll his truck. He’s heavily sedated and intubated right now. Our family could use all the positive thoughts and prayers you can send right now.
Sending some prayers and positive thoughts in your direction. Wishing for a good recovery.

Jade is having surgery today to put a shunt in his head and remove the drain tube. Next step will be to wean him off the sedation drugs and remove the intubation tube. After that happens they can assess his brain damage and begin a plan to rehabilitate.
Thanks for the update Jason. Still praying in MT.

Jade was moved to a more intermediate area of the ICU Friday. He doesn't need the 24/7 around the clock nurse attention any longer. He is more calm now and is responding to some conversations and questions from us and the medical staff. I was fortunate enough to take my nephew out turkey hunting successfully Friday afternoon. I showed Jade the video and he smiled so big! It was awesome! He's making small improvements and it's so great to see. We still don't know the extent of his brain damage, and it may take a few months to see that. We are going to get more of a plan from his Dr's this week hopefully. We have started a gofundme for him and his 4 year old son. Jade will be out of work for the unforeseen future-we are trying to keep him on his feet, figuratively, while he is not able to provide for himself. If anyone would like to donate click on the link. We sincerely appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers being sent his way. A 23 year old kid shouldn't have to go through this once, let alone twice. I humbly thank you all.
Jade took his first steps with a walker today! He is bound and determined to get moving again! It was a tear jerker for us all to watch him get out of that chair and get moving!
Great news Jason! We're keeping Jade and your family in our prayers!
Kifting him and your family in prayer from New Mexico . We serve a mighty God and gladly answer a call to pray for another believer in Jesus Christ...
Prayers for you all! God is faithful...
Keeping Jade in prayer! God is so awesome and is continuing to bless your family! Beautiful!
Very cool! Thanks for the update. Love to see prayers answered.
Great to see progress!! We will keep him in our prayers.
GREAT to see that and hear of his progress! Continued prayers for a quick and full recovery!

A CaringBridge Site was created for Jade. It‘s a caring social network to help people stay connected with family and friends during a health event.

Praise God for his healing. Now and in the future. Glorifying him for all. And, tell Jade to hold on. It’s going to be a hard ride. But, Gods will be done.
Praying for your son and your family
Prayers coming your way!!
Thoughts and and prayers for you guys for a full recovery. Hang tough and keep the faith. God is in charge.
Prayers from Vermont and so glad he is up and walking. Hopefully on the road to recovery once again.
It's amazing what the right care will do for the body and mind. Jade got moved back to the ICU earlier this week. He was not getting the care he needed in the transition area of the hospital and we had to meet with a patient advocate to get him turned back around. After 2 days of getting the right attention and constant nutrition he is sitting up, walking and talking full sentences! In the next week or so he will most likely be moved to a rehabilitation facility locally that focuses on brain injuries. We sincerely appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers and donations - good to see him back on track to recovery!
Great news Jason. Continue to hope for the best for you and your family.
Praying Hands emoji would be inserted here if one was available !
Great news made my day Lewis
Still praying from Idaho!
Very very good news!! Still praying!
Busting out!!!
Jade moved out of the hospital today! He moved to the Post Acute Medical (PAM) rehabilitation facility in south Fargo this afternoon! He was SOOOOOO happy! It’s so good to see him happy again. What a difference a week can make.
Now the work begins for him however.
PAM provides both physical and mental rehab and he stays there 24/7 while in this program. We fully believe this is the right place for him right now.
Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming for him.
Prayers from Tn. God is good. It’s a blessing to see him out. God bless. AA
Another Tennessee prayer sent Lewis

Continued prayers from Utah
That news made my day! Keep moving in the right direction.
May God grant happiness and peace in your family
Good news. More prayers for Jade and may God lead him through.
Still praying here in Iowa!
Jade has been doing well at the new rehabilitation facility. He has physical, speech and occupational therapy daily. His short term memory is about 5 minutes right now. He knows everyone when he sees them, but can’t recall conversations or happenings from earlier in the day. We’re hoping that memory exercises and time will stretch that time back out.
If you want too almost exactly what is going on right now, watch the movie called “The Crash Reel.” It’s the story of Professional Snowboarder Kevin Pearce and his recovery after a traumatic brain injury.
This is such great news on his recovery. Man, you have been through the lowest of lows to on top of the mountain. Praying for his complete recovery and a lifetime of no more episodes of this happening again.
Jade gets to go outside a bit now. He’s also back to eating anything vs liquid/pudding consistency foods. His first two items he requested were a pepperoni/sausage Jack’s pizza and a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Lol.
That's great! If he recalls a specific pizza and a Micky-D's burger....that should be encouraging news in his memory functions.
Great news! A long road to recovery I'm sure but at least there is a road.
So happy to see that he is making progress!
