This just in from Shea:
He's awake but still in very critical condition. Please keep praying. The doctors warned us that there is still a chance he might not make it. They also believe he lost about 40% of his eye sight and 50% of his hearing making him both legally blind and deaf. They said with glasses he may be able to drive but that is still undetermined, but we can work on that. We're just glad he's alright.
please update everyone
Shea
The very fact that he awoke from his coma, with bacterial menigitis is a miracle I can trace right to the incredible people here and in Chris's life all praying and sending healing and love to him. Our friend is not out of the woods yet, but together we can lend him our strength and help him amaze these Doctors as he recovers more every day. He can wear glasses and a hearing aid if he has too, it's a small price to pay to see his son grow up!
I'm so relieved to have waken up and find good news. I'm still worried about that little chance he still have to die, but things are looking good. The power of love works people. The white healing energy works.
About hearing loss, if Shea and Chris read is I would like them to know that I have 80% loss in both of my ears. I speak normally, and hear pretty much with the help of hearing aids. I do have some trouble but this is something you can live with, you can have a job, and a life. He shouldn't really worry about that. It might be tough to get used to it, but once you do, it's not that bad.
