Jace Blue’s road to recovery

Meet Jace Blue.  He is an amazing baseball player and avid golfer.  His drive and passion have built him into the athlete he is today.  Jace loves Jesus, his family, and his friends.  He loves to joke around and always jumps at the opportunity to make others laugh!  Jace is also very smart.  He is an eighth grader at CCMS, a member of Jr. Beta, and a student at The Gateway Academy for gifted students.
    On Halloween weekend, Jace was in Memphis, TN for a travel baseball tournament.  While in Memphis, he suffered from a severe asthma attack, which ultimately lead to cardiac arrest.  This happened twice in a very short time frame.  He was transferred to LeBohneur Children's Hospital.  After a short period of time, Jace began to show signs of improvement.  About three days into what we thought was the beginning of his recovery, he started to rapidly decrease.   It started with large body spasms to where he is now in his current state- major vision impairment, fine and gross motor skills extremely limited, and very minimal communication skills.  We are praising God for protecting Jace’s cognitive abilities through this because they seem to be completely intact.  With COVID cases rising, hospitals only allow one parent to be with him for the entirety of his stay at Shepherd.  This could be anywhere from 2 to 6 months.  Jace’s family members have been traveling in every chance they get just to see him through a fence for a few hours at a time, offering whatever support they can and to give him some sort of family interaction. 
    So, everyone has been asking, "What can we do to help? What do they need?"  We are creating this account just for that!  It’s a place where family and friends can love on them in their time of need from afar.  Any and all funds will go towards traveling expenses, hotel stays, meals, upcoming medical bills, and care for Jace post rehab.
    If you feel so inclined you can give a gift to the family here.  Above all else though, they ask for your prayers for Jace.  Continue to pray with them in agreement that Jace will be completely healed.  They also wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone from the bottom of their hearts for the outpouring of love and kindness they have already received.  Thank you, and God Bless!
