Travis and his girlfriend Kaitlyn are still in the PICU at Children's Hospital. Travis had a blood clot on his brain but PRAISE THE LORD it has not changed at all so they will not have to do surgery on it and it will hopefully just go away. Their main concern is his back injury. Two vertebrae are actually perpendicular to the rest of the spine. They are calling it a "complete" injury, however they have not confirmed that the spinal cord is severed so we still do have hope. With God, ALL things are possible!!! They wanted to do surgery Monday to straiten the vertebrae and put a rod in to give him support because right now he couldn't sit up or anything. Also, last night he developed a fever (101.5) and has some infection in his lung, he cannot raise up and cough it out so he is on antibiotics. They will not do surgery until he is well so this is not a major concern right now but it is a complication. Please pray he will be able to walk again someday and that his infection will clear up quickly and completely so he can have the surgery.
Kaitlyn his girlfriend is doing better. I do not know many of the details about her but I do know she needs our prayers. She is moving all her limbs but has had to have 2 surgeries, one of which was to remove blood on her brain. Her brain is still swollen but I believe has gone down some.
