I wish my first blog post was about something happier (because this is Steven, not Lindsay). The kind doctor who has been working with us went over the MRI scans with us. It felt pretty unreal to see all the images of Jaren's brain. There is a substantial amount of damage in all areas of the brain. The doc says they still can't tell us what this all might mean for us. The only thing that can tell now really is time. In a few days we should see some more signs of what is possible.
Recovery could range from full to minimal. The doctor says based on what they've seen, he believes Jaren will live. He may have trouble eating on his own, need a ventilator (for a short or long term period), have epilepsy, learning disability. The doctor said that his heart (already strong), liver, and kidneys will recover. Basically at this point in time, his quality of life is very unknown.
Thanks again for all your love, prayers and support. We really can feel it. The Spirit is strong.
Love ya'll,
Steven, Lindsay, and Jaren
