**From Kyah**
Please pray for his organs to heal and function properly and his brain to heal ❤️
[Auntie] Chelsea is doing a good round of the “red light” therapy laser and he got a really good massage and laser therapy last night from [Grandma] Darci and Chelsea.
I’ve been pumping milk praying that he will be able to receive a more food like substance once his organs are showing positive function.
We have not stopped singing, praying, talking to or touching him We also try to keep the environment in the room as positive as possible with hymns and church music playing in the background 24/7.
Love you all 💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
**Transcribed Voice Memo from Noah**
So update for moving further with treatment. Basically we have asked the doctors now to do an update with Dr Paul Harch (the reknown HBO specialist)... we have had so many people reach out and tell us this is the guy we need to talk to and work with... So they're going to talk to him today and hear what his recommendation is. And if we want to do HBO treatment, it is a medevac to the mainland. It doesn't seem like working here is an option.
