Update on Carson from his Dad, Randy Kimball:
Hello friends and family…I wanted to give an update this morning on Carson. He has spent 9 days at Shepherd and all of that time up until this morning has been spent in ICU trying to get his oxygen high enough for him to breathe on his own.
I think this is a little like someone putting you on a treadmill to walk/jog and they don’t come back to check on you for a full day. Trying to breath on and off hiflow machines, breathing treatments, and several other breathing assist machines has finally helped Carson heal. Finally getting off alll this equipment was such a huge blessing and a rest from days and days of trying to breath.
This morning ours and so many of your prayers were answered as they took Carson off of Oxygen for the first time in 19 days and after several days this past week of horrible nights! At 11am he got to drive himself outside into the garden and took in some sunshine, so it’s been great. Hopefully, he will move to a normal rehab room tomorrow.
We love all of you so much and again we are so humbled by the outpouring of love and support for Carson and our family. God is good. Hug your family members. Call your grandparents and stay on the phone at least an hour. Be kind to somebody today and praise the only One who is the Maker and King of us all.
