Please pray for Steve today for his lung transplant. He is still having difficulties. Here is an update on him as of July 10, 2025Today was the day of more tests, some answers, continuing to piece this puzzle together! This morning they did an ultrasound lead EMG of his diaphragm. They inserted a needle and then had him take breaths while giving him a shock to see how the nerves and muscle reacted. This did show very little movement on his diaphragm muscle and no reaction from his phrenic nerve... hard to breathe when your diaphragm doesn’t move! They noted due to the fatty tissue surrounding his diaphragm it’s possible the needle just didn’t reach the nerve, or it did, and it is damaged. 

This is not an uncommon complication post transplant due to the surgery itself (a nerve can get nicked) or even stunned due to the donor lungs being on ice and so cold when entering the body. In February he had a test done that is more like an xray while breathing. This showed significant diaphragm weakness, however it didn’t differentiate between muscle weakness or nerve damage. Today they confirmed it is likely a combination of both. 

The fix? Rehab. And time. There are surgeries they can do as last resorts to essentially fold part of the diaphragm over, leaving more room for your lungs to expand, but they always try rehab first.

I personally feel like with all my dad’s complications up front (6.5 weeks in a hospital post transplant with not much rehab, followed by an ablation, and multiple episodes of rejection resulting in very high doses of steroids), his body just truly hasn’t had a chance to heal. This last high dose of steroids knocked him down, and it’s like we’re starting all over from transplant week 1. 

Neuro did a consult and they do not feel his unsteadiness the last few months is caused by something neurological, but rather dehydration, deconditioning etc. The neuro team signed off on but him the transplant team still ordered a brain MRI to confirm. They also sent a lab test out that looks for 1,000 different pathogens, bacteria, viruses and fungi that are otherwise hard to detect. The more information the better at this point! 

They switch hospitalists on Friday’s and the provider coming on tomorrow is very aggressive. I’m sure he will continue to eliminate potential causes until we have the full puzzle completed!

Please pray for a clear brain MRI so we can check that off the list! 💙💚

Fully aware that rehab doesn't work if the person doesn't want help... we had to take care of legal, financia, medical & most importantly my sons mental health prior to admission to rehab because our family doctor was more concerned with his being suicidal at the time.. He is doing much better & it's time to go so he can start his life again & get helps with navigating his sober life & knowing how to navigate peer pressur & urges to fit in etc... Lord I need you, I don't want to bury my only son. Use him to help others... Allow him to be the hero he so desperately wanted to be in the military by saving lives of others also hurting with PSDT & similar issues. Surround him with love & acceptance & supportive like minded people. Help him find his person & people that allow him to see his worth. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be this beautiful souls mom! Please restore him & let him know your love. IJNIP . Amen

Emilie is trying to keep her family together in light of financial problems her husband is having after she had an elderly man exposed himself to her at a gathering. Her husband pushed the man to the ground and fought with him as a result. The next day the home owner filled a complaint and the police arrested Emilie's husband for attacking the man. He now has extensive bills to defend himself.

Father, Dad is getting old. Never really studied Bible on his own, his opinions and advice are like trying to extract something solid from chicken broth. Have been praying for 25 years for him to read the Bible. Attends church, in one ear out the other, but I ask again -- Please have mercy on him and give him wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17. Please help him stop trying to justify himself, help his mind stop going in circles, let him watch Christian Programming instead of the news and old movies, give him spiritual hunger, 1 Peter 2:2, help him be a doer of the Word, not a hearer only, Jam 1:22, his wife's wisdom is even more secular, full of doubt and fear, protect him from her unbelief, let neither one of them be conformed to the world but rather be transformed by the renewing of their minds, Rom 12:2, and keep them from the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, strengthen him, and protect him from the evil one, 2 Thes 3:2-3, in Jesus' Name.

Dear friends,

I humbly ask for your prayers for Ha-young, Ye-young, Ui-seop, Jung-won, Eun-tae, In-sook, and your beloved ones. May God lead us, not on the paths we desire or know, but on the paths that He desires and delights in.

Please pray that while we are still in the flesh, we may cast away all idols, come to know God according to His written Word, and truly taste His goodness.

May this entire journey be guided by God's peace and protection, and may the undeniable transformation in all of us come solely through the one and only God.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
