Seth at OSF Emergency Room

This is Seth's Aunt Laura again. Vickie just called to say that Seth is in x-ray. He is in a great deal of pain and is vomiting violently. He says that this is the worst thing that he has experienced so far and we all know that he has gone throuhg a great deal of pain and suffering due to the surgery. The doctors suspect that either his intestines are twisted or he has developed scar tissue in his intestines that is causing a blockage. He needs serious prayer and we are concerned that the word won't go out due to the late hour and the lack of traffic on the website. Please pass the word and pray!! Another update will be posted when we have more information. Thanks and God Bless!!

Seth is on his way to OSF Emergencyin Peoria!

Hello Everyone,
This is Seth's Aunt Laura. Vickie just called me on their way to the emergency room. She asked me to post so everyone would know what was going on. Seth has been in bad shape all day. He has had abdominal pain followed by nausea. He saw a new doctor today that advised they go to emergency in the event that the pain worsened or if Seth started vomiting. Both occurred. There is a possibility that Seth's intestines are twisted - if this is the case, surgery would be required to correct the situation. We need all the prayer we can get! Traffic has really died off the site so please pass the word however you can. Thanks! There will be an update when we have more information.

Oh NO!

Good Morning Everyone,
Seth woke up this morning SICK. Nothing to do with his stomach, but sore throat, cough and rattling and heaviness in his chest. He was up getting ready for school and I've sent him back to bed. He is to see a new doctor tomorrow at 1:30, so if it is anything we will know then.
This is one of the draw backs of being back to normal..he is around a lot of people and some of them must have a bug! Seth has a very weak immune system and is very vulnerable.
Thanks for prying for Noah, he is feeling some better. Love, Vickie
Thomas ~ It was so great to hear from you!!!

Evening out

Seth is getting back to NORMAL finally. He went to school today until almost 11, then back down to my office and spent some time with the pastors and then home to rest for a bit before he went out on the town. He drove to the Rave Theater where he met with friends Cassie, Tarry and Ron. They watched a show and then had dinner together. He got home around 9:00. Wow it's great to have some normality to our lives. It's been a long time. We are thankful.
Please pray for Noah. He came home from work early with the flu. He is feeling terrible, running a fever etc. Please pray he will feel better tomorrow, and back to 100% very soon. Thanks, Love to all of you. Vic

Another Great Day!

Seth did school again today and then came down to my office and worked on some homework and hung out with some of the pastors. They even had him playing Scrabble at lunchtime. He actually had a FUN day. He hasn't had one of those in a LONG time. I think we are getting there. We are seeing a new area doctor on Tuesday and the in home nursing care ends tomorrow.

Banner Day!!!

Hi Everyone~ It has been a banner day for us. Seth went to school today for the first time!!! He got pretty tired, but blamed it on standing in line for 30 minutes holding his book bag to order his class ring. First of all he isn't suppose to even carry his bookbag (nothing over 5#'s). It is hard for him to get his books to school without it I suppose. Anyway he met with his Chemistry teacher 1st hour (her prep) and was tutored in Chemistry and second hour he met with the Math head and worked on his Adv. Alg. II. He came home 3rd hour. Tomorrow he said he will try to stay at school longer. They will have Chapel first thing in the morning and then have shortened periods. He amy make it until noon, we'll see. Thanks for the prayers always! Love Vic

Hi there all, I bet you thought we'd forgotten about you. that's not the case at all. We have been busy over the past few days. Seth went to church with us on Saturday night. It was great. He was definitly ready to go home afterwards though. In had hopes of stopping at the mall to pick up a few things for him since he's changed in weight so much. But no such luck. He wanted to go straight home. He had a quiet day at home on Sunday and planned to go to school this morning for 2 hours. Well that didn't happen. He woke and felt pretty lousy. Pain and sick to his stomach again. I was on the phone! We got him settled down and feeling pretty good by 10:00 he took an anti-nausea medication and I headed off to work. I just called to check on him and he is feeling bad again. I called the nurse and left a message. Hopefully she is going to see him today. He would like to try to go to school tomorrow now. Lets all pray he feels better! Please pray too for his energy level. He is still VERY fatigued. He should be doing better by now. It seemed like he was until last week when he had that Stoma obstruction issue. I know a lot of people who were praying has dropped off due to the low number of hits on this sight. So if you know someone who was and maybe has stopped please ask them to continue to pray for Seth. He is definity not out of the woods yet. And we have another surgery coming up. He has to be in good shape to do it. Thanks so much. Love to All, Vickie
