Update on Justin
Justin’s Update 💜
It has been a very intense couple of weeks, but we continue to see God’s hand at work in Justin’s life.
He had a rough night before surgery with his oxygen and heart rate dropping, but the doctors were able to stabilize him. Because of fluid in his left lung, they performed a bronchoscopy and removed quite a bit. They also decided to move forward with a tracheostomy and PEG (feeding) tube to give him a more long-term solution. This way, once he is stronger, he’ll be able to transfer into rehab.
The surgery went well, though there was a little bleeding in his neck that was quickly controlled. He has been kept sedated at times, but they are carefully working to bring him back around. His heart rate has been up and down, but the doctors found a good balance of medications that is helping. He did need a blood transfusion after his hemoglobin dropped, but he has been responding steadily.
In the past few days, we’ve seen encouraging signs: Justin has opened his eyes, looked around the room, and even seemed to respond when we were talking to him. Physical therapy has begun working with him—sitting him up in the bed and getting him moving as much as possible. The next big steps are weaning him off the ventilator and eventually working with speech therapy so the tracheostomy and feeding tube can be removed.
He was even awake for a longer stretch recently and seemed to pay attention when Ryan (his brother) told him about the Cowboys game. 🏈
We know this is going to take time, patience, and continued prayers, but we are holding onto hope. We cannot thank everyone enough for the meals, visits, and most of all, the countless prayers. Please keep lifting Justin up before the Lord as he continues this journey of healing.
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” – Matthew 19:26 🙏
