Update on Kristie

After seeing the specialist yesterday, Kristie called and said that the doctor is confident that the spot had not grown! This means that she will wait until the middle of August for a PET scan and then determine the next course of action from there. Thank you God for this amazing answer to our prayers!!!

update on Melisa Carothers

Please keep Melisa Carothers in your prayers as she continues to recover at Mayo Clinic!

Her recovery is going great so far: they have removed one of her chest tubes, and she was up and walking twice today!  She is expected to be transferred to a regular room later this afternoon.  The doctors are very pleased with her progress so far!
