Update Sunday- 9:30pm

We just saw Jamie and he is holding steady. The nurse very cautiously used the word 'better' in describing Jamie tonite. He's been off sedation all day today and is opening his eyes when they really stimulate him. He hasn't opened his eyes for us yet, but that's ok. We got him all worked up tonite just talking to him and touching him. He was moving his right arm all around and his pulse and blood pressure went way up. He was also doing a lot of breathing on his own instead of letting the venilator do it because we had him stimulated. So we made it a quick visit so that he can continue to rest and heal. (Mom and Dad stayed back to watch him quietly and he calmed way down!)

He'll have another scan tonite so hopefully his brain is not swelling anymore. The Doctors really want to see what it does now that he's off sedation. I'll try to have a post as soon as we get a report from the Doctors in the morning.

Keep praying. He's definitely not out of the woods but he's still in there!

Sarah,
Jamie, his friends, You and your family are in our hearts, thoughts and most of all, our prayers. Please call on us if you need anything at all. Even someone just to sit with him why you and your family grab a bite to eat or talk with the doctors. All our prayers,
Dez, Carrie and Michael Valentino

Continuing to pray for you all. Encouraged by all the small steps he is making! It is so good to know that he KNOWS you are there with him through all of this. He is using your strength and the strength of the Lord to become well again. I have passed on prayer requests for Jamie to many prayerful people. We pray for his continued healing.
Love,
