Trevor slept very well last night! The best he's slept in the last week since the injury. Praise the Lord and thank you for your prayers on that! Having a full nights rest helps him to be able to cope with the day ahead.
With the help of a pressure belt to stabilize his blood pressure, Trevor sat up again today for an hour and made it to a 60 degree upright position without feeling nauseous. Praise! Mom was very encouraged to see the progress.
The neurologist saw Trevor today and reported that he has feeling at the T7 level which is 3 vertebrae lower than the injury! Every inch more of feeling is such a praise! We were also encouraged to hear that he could continue to regain some feeling for several weeks while the swelling around the injury goes down. He won't know the extent of his feeling for awhile.
The Trauma Dr. gave the report that Trevor looks good and that his chest is better to the point of being released from his care. This means that he will no longer need any chest tubes and that his lung will continue to heal on it's own unassisted. Praise!
Trevor is being moved to the rehab floor of the hospital this afternoon, but is still experiencing all over pain. The Dr. said this is not uncommon to feel quite good days after an accident and then start to feel worse. Almost as if the body is just now catching up to what it's gone through.
Prayer Requests-
* For continued feeling to return!
*That his overall pain would subside
*That Trevor's spirits would stay uplifted through the difficulty of rehab.
So many things to be thankful for today! It was a good day. I'm headed to the hospital now and will give him your love. Thank you for partnering with us in this journey. In Trevor's words, "Keep up your prayers!"
In Him,
Carly~

Praise God, Carly! I have had several friends say to me that they have heard of people recovering much more feeling and movement than originally predicted from injuries like this, and I pray that that will be the case with Trevor! I'm praying for him and all of you as he continues this journey, much much love to you all.

Many Praises today!and Many prayers, requests to God for Trevor and your family during this journey. Carly, your update today reminded me of one of my favorite scriptures.
