He's Back !!!

Jaime is now back home! He arrived at his home in Byram on Tuesday afternoon. The day we have been waiting on for a very long time finally arrived. Baby Till also made his first appearance in Byram and stole the show. Jaime, Natalie, and Till are very happy to be at home sweet home. Thank you for your prayers and support. Please keep them in your prayers.

We Are Blessed!

Exciting news is being reported from Georgia! Jaime & Natalie are now proud parents of a handsome baby boy. Both are in the same facility - Jaime remains on the 6th floor and Natalie & baby "Till" are on the 2nd floor. Dad, Mom, & baby are doing well.

Jaime steadily continues to improve with his daily rehab therapy. He has been encouraged and more determined with a glimpse of home growing brighter. Jaime is looking forward to a potential discharge from the hospital on April 24th. Due to follow-up MD appointments, our stay (in our home away from home) will be extended for a few days. We covet your prayers as our family tentatively prepares for our departure from Georgia and arrival in Mississippi within the first week of May.

We invite you to share with us our new bundle of joy. You may view our latest addition by clicking on the link below:

Jaime's News

Jaime is doing well and recovering every day. He has moved from the fourth floor to the sixth. This is the rehab floor where he begins an aggressive rehab program, including daily living, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Today, Jaime walked with a walker up and down the hall. Please pray for him to be encouraged and look forward to challenges he faces each day. His response to therapy is showing great improvement. Please pray for his nausea and exhaustion. Great things are happening in Georgia!

We look forward to your posts, emails, and letters. They are read every day. Thanks.

Baby Update!!!

Unless baby "Till" or the Lord has different plans, Natalie will be admitted to the 2nd floor of the Doctors Hospital on the 14th. The same hospital Jaime is in. On the 15th, she will be induced and have a wonderful baby boy, James Tilmon Moser IV "Till". We are very excited about his arrival! Please pray all will go well during this wonderful time.

Out of ICU !!!

Jaime is doing well and improving everyday. Yesterday, Jaime was able to make the move we all have been praying for, his own private room. He was moved out of the ICU into his very own private room! He will now face extensive physical therapy to improve his normal functions. His release date will be determined by how well his physical therapy goes. Please pray that God will help him to fight this tough battle.

Natalie and baby are doing well. Please continue to remember her and the baby in your prayers as she is due mid April.

Thank you for your comments, emails, and letters.

Jaime's Progress

Jaime has reached several milestones since our last post. His feeding tube has been removed and he is now eating on his own. He is eating very small portions of soft food along with a dietary supplement through an IV. He has stood a few times with the assistance of a physical therapist. His lack of strength does not allow him to do so on his own power yet. The doctors have prescribed for him to go outside occasionally. He was able to do this and enjoy the fresh air for a while for the first time since December 24th. Sitting is very uncomfortable for him so this is a short but wonderful experience for him. Jaime is experiencing a tremendous amount of pain and anxiety associated with this improvement. Please pray that God will ease his anxiety and pain he is experiencing.

Jaime is fully alert and aware. Any posts, emails, or letters will be read by Jaime himself now. Feel free to send Jaime a note to let him know that we care about him and are praying for him. This will be very encouraging for him during his recovery. His addresses are posted above.

Jaime's Progress

We apologize for the lengthy delay in our postings. Over the last few days, Jaime has shown rapid improvement coupled with Natalie's many MD appointments in preparation for the soon arrival of their little man. Jaime continues to steadily progress.

With his kidney function reporting at 100%, dialysis was discontinued on March 5th. On March 6th, Jaime was positioned in a cardiac chair with toleration for over 1 hour. Since the accident, this marked the 1st time he was tranferred from the bed with the exception of his surgeries. The physicians removed his trach the following day. Due to his continual miraculous healing, he is presently at the state of beginning physical therapy in order to regain usage of his limbs (which have been immobilized for the past months). These treatment days will be extremely painful and taxing for Jaime. Please continue to pray for God to grant him strength to endure and encouragement to strive.

Surprise Baby Shower

Wednesday night at nine o‘clock, the burn center, labor and delivery, and staff at doctor’s hospital threw a surprise baby shower for Natalie! Jaime, Jimmy, and Janice were in on the surprise but were sworn to secrecy. The delicious food was catered by the hospital’s cafeteria. It included a large white layer cake that said “Congratulations Natalie and Jaime,” and was trimmed with blue baby booties. Jaime and Natalie were showered with gifts from nurses, doctors, surgeons, and staff. Herk Johnessee, RN, Director of The Joseph M. Still burn center was also present for the event. Beth Frits, Public Relations Director, arranged for two local TV stations and The Augusta Chronicle to cover this wonderful occasion. Natalie was overcome with appreciation for the kindness and thoughtfulness of the Doctors Hospital staff. She was quoted as saying, “I could say surprised, but given the level of care here, it really does not surprise me.” Natalie, the Moser family, and friends have been amazed at the wonderful people here at the burn center since we arrived on Dec 24th. In our eyes, the staff are all angels dressed in scrubs.

Jaime is doing well in his recovery and is improving. Please pray for him as he continues his journey towards recovery.

Video clips of the shower can be seen at http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/georgia/40761292.html and http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/40758947.html

Talking!

Jaime is now able to speak. He spoke on Friday for the first time since December 24th. Friday, Natalie received a phone call on her mobile, it was Jaime. She did not believe it at first, but it definitely was him with a little scratch in his voice. The nurse held the phone for him and dialed her number so he could surprise her, and what a surprise it was. He was able to talk to the family every visiting period over the weekend. This was very encouraging to the Moser family. He still has a trach collar but it is small enough for him to speak with it.

He is improving every day; however, he still has a long way to go. Jaime is now completely aware of the situation he is in. He is in pain and has severe nausea. He is not allowed to move yet because of the fragile cultured skin on his body. This is very difficult for him as he desperately wants to get out of the bed. Please keep praying for him to stay strong during this mental battle. Pray for his pain and his nausea to subside. Also pray for infection and his overall physical health. He has a lot of healing to do.

Update

Jaime is doing well and is improving daily. He drank some water Tuesday for the first time since the accident on December 24th. In the past few days, he has progressed into drinking limited amounts of thick liquids(smoothies) and soft foods(mashed potatoes). This is a great improvement and very encouraging. He is completely off the ventilator and is only receiving oxygen through his trach. They are hoping to remove the trach in the near future. This is when he will be able to talk audibly with family and friends.

While Jaime is improving every day, he is still in great need of your prayers. He still has a risk of infection until the grafts heal. He is now facing a whole new set of challenges as he prepares to face this physical and emotional journey. As he improves, he becomes more aware of the pain and anxiety of the situation he is in. Please continue to pray.

16th Surgery

Jaime had his 16th and hopefully final Surgery on Friday. Doctors completed the grafts. Some of them were from his own skin and some from the cultured skin that arrived today. The surgery was several hours long and went very well. There were no complications. Doctors informed the Moser family that if there were no complications, Jaime should be home in about three weeks! Please pray that this will happen. We are all anxiously awaiting this wonderful day!

Steadily Improving

Jaime has been steadily improving over the past few days. Every day he seems to make progress. He is completely off the ventilator now and is breathing on his own with no assistance. He still is not able to speak audibly because of the trach. Doctors are keeping this for a while longer in case it is needed in the future. He is still on dialysis. However, his kidneys are functioning and doctors are using the dialysis as a tool to assist in the healing process. Today, Jaime sat up in bed for about thirty minutes. He had a barium swallow test and did well with it.
He is scheduled for surgeries at the end of the week to work on his grafts. Continue to check the blog daily for updates. Please keep praying for his healing and also for pain and anxiety as he becomes more alert and aware.

Another Surgery

Jaime had another surgery on Friday(his 15th). This surgery was again to prepare for the upcoming grafts. Doctors will be using more of his own skin and well as some cultured skin which will be arriving on the 20th. The surgery was successful and Jaime is resting well. He is more and more alert than ever before. However, with this alertness comes evident pain and anxiety for Jaime. Please pray that God will ease his pain and anxiety.

Natalie, the baby, and the Moser family are doing well. They are hoping(as well as the doctors) that Jaime will be at home when his son decides to arrive some time April. What a miracle his father is - and what a story we have to tell his son about a strong "Dad" and a miracle working God. Please keep praying for successful surgeries and no infection.

The Moser family thanks you for your comments, emails, and phone calls. They are a wonderful encouragement to them. They could not make this journey without them.

Completed Surgery

Jaime had his 14th surgery completed on Thursday. It was a success and there were no complications. He is scheduled for another grafting surgery on or around the 20th. He is more alert than ever before. All of his vital signs look good. Keep checking the blog for more updates. Please continue to pray.

Still No Surgery

Jaime did not have his 14th surgery on Wednesday. It was postponed again today because of the busy schedule of the surgeons. His overall health is good. Please keep praying that Jaime's surgery will have no complications and that he will not get any infection. It is planned to be completed on Thursday.

14th Surgery

Jaime is having 14th surgery Tuesday. This is to repair the previous grafts that did not "take" in first grafting surgery. Also, doctors will prepare the rest of the area still left to be grafted. Please pray that there will be no complications and no infection from this surgery.

Jaime's Update

We have not updated the blog in recent days because there has been no significant changes in Jaime's overall condition. Which, as we all have learned, no news is good news! He is doing wonderful and his overall appearance is great. His oxygen has been reduced to only 27 percent(we breathe 21%). He has been steadily improving over the last few days. Jaime has been much more responsive than ever before. He is carrying on short conversions occasionally by mouthing his words(not audible because of trachea). The Moser family is wonderfully encouraged by this improvement and can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Jaime's cultured skin that was grown for him will be arriving soon and doctors will be able to perform his final grafting surgeries. Please pray that Jaime will continue to improve and have no complications or infections.

Another Surgery

It has now been six days since Jaime was rushed in for emergency surgery to repair his perforated colon and remove the contents(six liters) from his abdomen. He never did get sick. Many friends and family came to Augusta during this scary situation to be support for the Moser family. We anxiously waited for him to get extremely sick. With the exception of the normal effects of that type of surgery, nothing seemed to change. God simply didn't allow the bacteria to make him sick. We posted on the blog on Thursday that we believed God would have a very different schedule for Jaime. In fact, He did. We witnessed a miracle!

Jaime had his 13th surgery Tuesday night around 8 p.m. Everything was a success. This surgery was the one scheduled before he had the complications on Thursday. He is now prepared for another grafting surgery to come soon.

Please continue to pray for Jaime to continue fighting off infection and for his upcoming surgeries. Also remember to pray for the Moser family as they deal with the stress and exhaustion of this up and down emotional struggle.

Good Day

Jaime had another good day. He survived one more day without getting sick from the perforated colon. There is no doubt God touched Jaime and didn't allow him to get seriously ill as the doctors said he would. It has now been about 109 hours since the surgery. We thank God for his healing hand, mercy, and grace that touched Jaime. One nurse told me that about 8 out of 10 people that this happened to got very sick. And I assume the other two got a little sick as well. The nurse told me that Jaime was her "Miracle Baby" and "That God wasn't finished with him yet."

God willing, Jaime will be able to resume regular scheduled surgeries soon. When Jaime is ready(possibly Tuesday), they will begin to prepare the rest of his body for grafts. Please keep checking the blog for more updates as they become available.

Thank for your prayers. They have kept Jaime once again in His arms. Please continue to pray to fight off infection and success with his surgeries.

No Sickness

As we reported in the last post, the doctors told us to expect that Jaime would become very ill in the next few days due to his perforated colon. It has been approximately 80 hours since this occurred. To this point, he is showing no signs of illness as a result of contents released from the colon into the abdomen. The doctor said that after the first 24 hours, Jaime would become very sick and his condition would be "touch and go" for several days. Well, here we are, several days later, and we have learned once again who the Master Physician truly is. God is healing Jaime on his schedule, not the doctors. He heard our prayers.

1 John 5:14-15

14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

We have realized that there is a purpose to this trial.

II Corinthians 1:3-11

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. 9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

PLEASE PRAY

Jaime had a rough day Thursday. He was diagnosed with a perforated colon. This released six liters of bile into his abdomen. Doctors performed surgery to remove the bile and clean out his abdomen. They also repaired his colon. The surgery was a success. He will have a temporary colostomy in order to give his colon time to heal. Doctors have informed the Moser family that the next several days will be very difficult. They say he will get very sick and will have serious complications from the bacteria released into his abdomen. However, we are believing that God will have a different schedule for Jaime over the next few days. We feel the strength from your prayers and know that God will carry him through this. Thank you.

Restful Day

Jaime had a good day. He is resting and preparing for his upcoming surgeries. His temperature remains low and his blood pressure is normal. His lungs are also steadily improving. He remains on dialysis for his reduced kidney function. He is still tentatively scheduled for surgery on Thursday. Please pray for his surgery and infection.

Good Day

Jaime had a good day. His temperature is back to normal as well as his blood pressure. His appearance is much better. Jaime received his last treatment of Xygris. Doctors said that they may have to redo some of the grafts on his wrists because of the Xygris. It is so strong that sometimes it causes the grafts not to "take" well to the body. Jaime is still on dialysis. He is scheduled for another preparation surgery on Thursday. Please pray that Jaime will be able to have surgery on Thursday and also able to fight off more infection. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Improving

Jaime is showing improvement. He remains on Xygris(medication for sepsis) and is still receiving dialysis for his decreased kidney function. His blood pressure has improved and his temperature is down. His appearance is much better and he is resting well. He still needs your prayers in order to continue through this down time. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Another Battle

Friday evening Jaime's temperature was rising and his blood pressure fell. Doctors diagnosed him with Sepsis. They decided to start treating him with Xygris. He also was put on a gentle(slower) kidney dialysis in order to give his kidneys a rest. This was because he has decreased kidney function. Today, he is showing some improvement from the Xygris medication. However, he desperately needs your prayer to help him fight this infection and kidney problem. Prayer got him through the last battle and it will get him through this one.

Doctors have informed the Mosers that the grafts performed Wednesday reduce Jaime's open wounds from 50 percent to 20 percent. This greatly reduces the possibility of infection in the future. Surgeons may have to do some more surgery on the grafts already performed if they do not heal properly. Surgeons are hoping to have all grafts completed by approximately February 12th. At that point, they plan to remove Jaime from the ventilator if possible. Please pray for his infection and kidney function.

First Skin Graft - Eleventh Surgery

Jaime had his first skin graft surgery on Wednesday. They grafted skin from his thighs and placed it on the top of his hands and arms. According to the Surgeon, the grafts looked great. This was the first of several surgeries in order to complete the grafts. The Doctors have informed us that they will let Jaime rest for about ten days. This gives time for the skin on his thighs to heal so that they can graft from the same areas. Future grafts will come from his thighs as well as cultured skin grown from his own cells.

Jaime's lungs look great and are very healthy. His temperature remains good with only slight increases. Please continue to pray for no infection and for the grafts to have no complications.

Blog From The Moser's

We woke up Sunday morning going through the normal routine of going to the hospital for the morning visit. Jaime began getting more sick as the day progressed. By 6:30/5:30 c, our world changed once again. Doctors informed us that Jaime's blood pressure had been falling and his temperature was rising. He had Sepsis(severe infection). They wanted to start him on Xygris(medicine to treat Sepsis). This is administered over a four day period to fight the infection. Doctors started Jaime on the first dose of Xygris. While we were sitting in waiting room in Augusta, we had no idea that God was calling his people to pray. In Jackson, MS Pastor Chris Craft called for special prayer for Jaime. Also, in Martin, LA , Rev. James Rod Nesmith felt a strong pull for his church to pray for Jaime at that moment. God was watching without any of us knowing it. When we all started to pray, He answered our prayers. Within moments, doctors came in to the waiting room and informed us that his temperature was down and his blood pressure was up. What a Miracle! Once again, we are in awe of God's Power, Mercy, and Grace!

On Monday, we began again. When we arrived for the morning visit, Doctors informed us that they only needed to administer one dose of Xygris to Jaime. They checked his blood and there was no need to continue the remaining doses and that they were planning to begin grafts on Tuesday.

Tuesday: We were preparing for surgery day and they started about 4:30e. After about an hour, the surgeon came in and talked to us. He told us that Jaime needed a little more preparation before grafts. He said he completed this successfully and that Jaime was ready for grafts Wednesday. We have faith in God and trust the doctors.

We thank you for your prayers. There is no doubt in any of our minds what took place on Sunday night. Thank you for the blogs, emails, and calls. We love you!

The Moser Family




Doctors have informed the Moser's that Jaime has good range of motion in his hands and arms. They believe there will not have to be any grafts on the palms of his hands because they appear to be healing on their own. He will have grafts on his arms, tops of his hands, and fingers. This will begin tomorrow.

It would take pages and pages to post everything that happens in Augusta on a daily basis. We post the most vital information possible. Keep checking the blog and we will give the best information we can. The Moser family loves hearing from you nightly so please continue the comments, emails, and calls. God Bless!

JAIME'S DAY

The news from Georgia is good news. This blog notice also reminds us all that God is in control.

The family was advised at the beginning of this journey there would be up and down - good and bad days. Today the devil tried to make this one of those not good days - but he failed.

Around 5:30pm Jaime's blood pressure was down low and his fever was up. The medical staff was concerned. Naturally a sinking feeling did come upon us.

Natalie and Jimmy went in to see Jaime and then Janice with Natalie. Jimmy was hurting. He said he just wanted to go to sleep with Jaime and them wake up together. He said he could not understand any of this. He said the devil was sitting on his shoulder. I told Jimmy to thump him off. He was not welcome in the waiting room or in our presence - he had to go.

God allowed this bump not to test but prove this family's faith. The devil had been telling God it was easy for this family to have faith because all was going well - some progress better than the hospital expected. Just because the vitals were not what they wanted to hear was only another opportunity for God to show His power.

Little did we know here in Georgia around 8:10pm -that at the home church in Jackson, Pastor Craft was giving an update and asked the church to pray specifically for the fever and infection that Jaime may have.

Greater is He that is in us......

Natalie and Janice came out with signs of relief on their faces - Jaime's BP was steadily going up and fever was coming down! Jimmy really thumped the devil hard and told him where he could go. We were in the presence of God and there is no place for the devil!

Bottom line, the devil sought to destroy this family's faith and God allowed this because He knows them and where they are and more than anything He knows where Jaime is and He will not leave him.

The family asked me to write this and sign my name - I wanted to share the information and share God's greatness!

Prayers were answered but we must keep praying!

9th preparation surgery

Friday afternoon Jaime had his 9th, and hopefully final surgery preparing him for his skin grafts. If no complications should arise, doctors are planning on beginning the first of his skin graft surgeries Monday or Tuesday. The doctors are allowing Jaime to rest throughout this weekend in preparation for his upcoming surgeries. Today, Jaime continued to have an elevated body temperature. Please pray that this will subside so that Jaime can rest easier and be more comfortable.

As stated before in this blog, thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. This blog is checked every night by the Moser family upon their return from the hospital and is a source of encouragement to help us through this difficult journey that we are all going through together.

8th Surgery

Jaime had another surgery today on his side and back. There were no complications. Doctors are still preparing him for grafts. His overall health is good. With the exception of the infection caused by the blood transfusion, Jaime has not had a serious infection thus far. This is rare for injuries like his and could only be an answer to prayer. He is more alert than ever. He is responding occasionally by mouthing answers to questions. Please continue to pray for his ability to fight off infection.

Jaime had a flashback today which was unpleasant for him. We believe the medicine that he is receiving played a major role in this flashback. Pray that Jaime will have a peace and have no more bad memories of the accident.

7th Surgery

Doctors performed another surgery today on Jaime. They are still preparing him for grafts. They believe it may take a few more surgeries before he is ready to have grafts. Once again, they want to make sure and not rush on the grafts in order for them to have the best results. His lungs are improving on a daily basis.

The Moser family thanks you for your emails and comments on the blog. They read them on a nightly basis and are humbled by your kindness. Please continue to pray for the family and Jaime.

No Grafts

Doctors looked at Jaime today and decided to wait before starting his grafts. They said it was better not to rush and that he needed a few more days to heal before starting the grafts.

Jaime's fever is down. Doctors are reducing his sedation and he is responding more than ever. This is very encouraging and uplifting for the Moser family.

Keep checking the blog for more updates on Jaime's health. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Skin Graft

Jaime had a good day Monday. He has a slight fever as a result of a minor lung infection that he has had for the last couple of days. This is typical for burns like Jaime's. Doctors are tentatively scheduling Jaime for his first skin graft tomorrow. This is good news. Please pray that his skin graft surgery goes well and is successful.

If you would like to contact the Moser family directly, you may email them at MoserFamily08@gmail.com

Blood

If you were not able to give blood Saturday in the blood drive, you can give anytime at Mississippi Blood Services on Lakeland drive. You must give the code CO23 when giving so that Jaime will receive credit.

The Moser family asks that people please leave comments on the blog whenever possible. They love to frequent the blog to see who is checking on Jaime. They are also going to print all the comments for Jaime whenever he wakes up so he can read them.

Good Day

Jaime had a good day today. He had a slight temperature Saturday night. However, his temperature fell overnight and was back to normal by morning. He is requiring less and less support from his ventilator. We thank God for a good day and have faith that there are many more to come. Thank you for your prayers and support. Please continue to pray.

Jaime's Status

It has come to our attention that there are many conflicting stories concerning Jaime's overall health. Here are the facts: Jaime has not spoken since December 24th. He has been on a ventilator for the entire time here. He is under heavy sedation. Occasionally, Jaime responds with slight movement of his facial expressions. He is in the ICU burn unit in critical condition and remains extremely vulnerable to infection due to his exposed wounds. Jaime is progressing as expected in relation to other patients with the same severe injuries. There have been no skin grafts at this time. They are preparing Jaime's wounds for grafts in the weeks to come. Please continue to keep Jaime in your prayers as he travels the road to recovery.

Thanks to all of you who donated blood. The Moser family are once again overwhelmed by your love and support for Jaime. If you were unable to give blood Saturday, you can donate anytime at Mississippi Blood Services on Lakeland dr. Specify that your blood goes to James(Jaime) T. Moser III

6th Surgery

This morning, Jaime had a blood clot. Doctors put in an "umbrella" which stopped the blood clot from reaching his heart. This was done with no problems. After that was resolved, Jaime had surgery to remove more dead skin from his chest and stomach. Doctors informed us that Jaime with take the day off tomorrow and rest. As always, infection remains a major concern. Please continue to pray that Jaime can fight off infection.

Please remember the blood drive for Jaime at First Pentecostal Church of Jackson Saturday, January 10th.

5th Surgery

Jaime had surgery Thursday on his right hand and arm. There were no complications. The doctors slowly and carefully administered blood to Jaime prior to his surgery. He had no reaction to the blood. This was a great relief. He is tentatively scheduled for another surgery on Friday. Thank you for your prayers and support. Please keep praying.

Please remember the blood drive at First Pentecostal Church of Jackson on Saturday!!!

Another Day

Jaime had a trach put in this morning around nine a.m. This was successful with no complications. This is in order to remove the breathing tube and also allows easier access to the lungs. It is much more comfortable for Jaime and decreases the chances of permanently injuring his vocal cords. Jaime is scheduled for his 5th surgery on Thursday. Doctors are focusing on his right arm and hand. Please pray specifically for Jaime's blood during surgery. Due to previous complications from his last transfusion, doctors are planning to give blood only if absolutely necessary.

4th Surgery

Jaime had his fourth surgery on Tuesday. The doctors concentrated on one hand and arm. They are still continuing to remove the skin that will not heal on its on. This is one of many more surgeries to come in order to prepare his skin to be grafted. These surgeries are generally hours long and very extensive. Unfortunately, this is a long process and there are no quick fixes. He remains heavily sedated and at this point his lungs are doing well and remains on about 50% oxygen from his ventilator. Infection still remains the most serious threat facing Jaime. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray.

The Continual Roller Coaster Ride

First, we would like to apologize for the delay in posting a new blog. The family and friends in Jackson that were updating the blog for the Moser family were involved in Jamie and Ashley's wedding, so they have been consumed with that task. Glad to say that Jamie and Ash's wedding was beautiful and the happy couple are on their honeymoon!

Now to update our friends and family on Jaime's condition. He has had a few low days on his roller coaster ride to recovery. He has experienced a decrease in his respiratory function. His condition had improved, but he then experienced some problems with his lungs that were related to a reaction as a result of a blood transfusion. These problems seem to be improving. While Jaime's condition is stable at this time, he is still in the critical stages of his recovery.

He is tentatively scheduled for another surgery tomorrow to perform further cleaning of his burns.

Please continue to pray for his healing and recovery, as well as for the family and their peace of mind.

Better Day

Today was a better day for Jaime. His lungs have improved and has his oxygen supply has been reduced. The doctors have said they will probably perform another surgery on Jaime tomorrow which is good news. Please pray that Jaime can fight off infection. It is the highest concern facing him at this point. Continue to pray for family and friends traveling to and from Augusta. Thank you for your prayers and comments.
