It's in the works. We're just waiting on a few details to fall in to place and Trevor will be taken in an air ambulance to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This will potentially happen Tuesday morning. I've posted a link below that gives more information about the center.

Mom and Jamie will ride down with him to Atlanta, then Jamie and I will trade off later. Trevor was dragging his feet, not really wanting to go because he felt like he was so close to being able to come home, and that this extra trip would extend his "rehab stay" longer than he cared for. Understandable feelings coming from an 18 year old that's been in a hospital for a month. But our family and about everyone else we talked to, urged the importance of the best rehab that would be possible for him, knowing it could make a big difference on how he lived for the rest of his life.
Prayer Requests
*That Trevor and Mom would still feel support from family & friends while they are far away.
*Safe travel for those of us that are making the trip down.
*That Trevor's stomach would continue to feel improved as it has for the last couple days.
*For Trevor to be able to understand the importance of this time away and be able to stay focused on his rehab without being too homesick.
*Aaaannnndd, that the insurance would cover Trevor's stay at the Shepherd's Center! Ü

ReplyDeleteCarly, this is wonderful news! I can't help but feel this hope for Trevor as he goes to the Shepard's center. We will daily be keeping him in our prayers that once he is there he will be encouraged by the staff and see a new hope for himself as well. We'll be praying for your family as well as having "Mom" away has to be hard on everyone still at home.
