Need Your Prayers REALLY BADLY

Just wanted to provide a quick update. All signs/tests still point to significant brain damage - and the prognosis of a "reasonable recovery" is remote from a human perspective. Travis is still comatose. We have already met with the "Organ Donor" organization and the "Hospice Team" - just incase they are needed. Originally the neurologist stated "probably 1 in a million chance he ever wakes up". Things have improved ever so slightly over the past 3 days and we're now up to "1 in a thousand" as there have been a few signs of some fleeting brain activity.
All of that being said, God is still in control. Even if the odds are only 1 in 1,000 God gets to decide who the "1" is. There are literally thousands of people praying for Travis across several continents. His heart is strong. His vital signs are strong. He is breathing without requiring a push from the breathing machine. Every system in his body is working full-bore except his brain. Our prayer is for God to use Travis to His greater perfect plan. We pray that God either pushes the door wide open (and brings Travis back to us whole) or closes the door decisively and bring Travis home to Him. That is how Travis would have wanted it.
Throughout this all, we have already seen miracles occur in relationships among friends and family - and in so many peoples' walk with God. When you go through something like this and are "broken" by it, you find yourself not caring as much about all of the stuff that surrounds us daily and you really focus on what is real.
Again, we thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
Travis loved BBN and I am so touched at the outpouring of love for Travis from all of you.
I will update you again when I can. This is pretty tough as a father - I'm supposed to protect my kids and make sure nothing bad happens to them. It's just a reminder that God is never surprised by anything - He either allows or He causes everything to happen - and I continue to try to find comfort in that fact and to discover over time everything that His plan entails.

God will bless you and your family Sir! God's peace to you all at this time.
Your story and your faithfulness stirred my heart , continued prayers
Stay strong and have faith brother. I will keep praying for Travis.
So very sorry UK that you and your family are going this. Your strength and Faith is a testimony that God never gives us more than we can bear and there isn’t anything as close to that as what you are going through. Keep the Faith (as I know you are) mountains have already moved from a million to a thousand and they can move again. Whatever the outcome may God get the glory. Will continue praying for you, your family and healing and recovery for Travis.
All prayers and thoughts are already being sent! Please keep positive
Continuing to pray for Travis. Your faith is amazing.
Same here Manitou. I was particularly touched by the grace and faith in this comment . . .

I know either way Travis is in God's care and his future is secure, but man I'm praying he has more time here with his great father and family.
Praying mightily for you son.
Sending many prayers for Travis and all of the family.
As a father with 2 sons that age I am so sad.
I’ll say a prayer for Travis!

Thanks for the update, I’m still praying everyday for him. Glad to see some improvement. God is good. I hope he determines his time is not yet up on this earth. We have many more national championships we need him apart of! God bless.
Also praying HARD for him every day and every night.

my heart breaks for you, your son and your family
Your so correct, the heavenly father/holy spirit, can and does miracles. My prayers will be with you and your family. I truly understand, I had to be revived twice after my heart stop beating back in 1989.
Holy Father, Lord Jesus we come united in prayer for Travis at this time of his need. Lord Jesus we pray that Your Holy and Healing hand will be upon Travis, that You will give special insight and knowledge to the doctors and technical staff to minister to Travis' needs and to bring healing.
We know Holy Jesus that by You and from You all things are possible and we pray that if it is Your will that Travis will come trough this - beginning tonight at 9:00...let Travis respond Lord Jesus, give him strength and vitality to come through this procedure and to continue to heal...in Your name Lord Jesus we pray. Amen.

Father Bless this man and family with a healing. No other being can perform miracles as you do-heavenly Father. Awaken this young man and bring all his organs back to normal. In Jesus name..
Prayers to you and your family 🙏🏻
Continued prayers for you and your family.
Prayers for your son Travis and your family hopefully he pulls through this 🙏!
Praying for Travis to get back soon.
Prayers that your son recovers quickly and returns to the loving arms of his family.
I was in a similar situation 3.5 years ago with my daughter in the hospital (brain aneurysm). It’s difficult to understand.
A parent shouldn't have to bury a child. I did 2 years ago 2-25. In my prayers!!!
So sorry, you and your family have my prayers.
Prayers continue to be lifted up for Travis and your family for healing, strength and comfort. God bless.
Another update:
On Tuesday, the doctor told us that Travis would never open his eyes again.
Today, with the UK-Arky game on in his hospital room and the speaker placed right beside his ear, he opened his eyes several times and stared at the TV. There's still a spark. At this point, we'll take anything.
God is good.

This is really good news. Never give up hope. I will say a prayer again tonight.
Continuing to pray!
