Good Morning Everyone!

Just got off the phone with Kirk for a morning update. Kim had a good day yesterday. As the day wore on she got more and more tired and it was harder for her to respond but this morning she was very alert and awake again during her waking moments. They did an X-ray on her neck and cleared her to get her brace taken off. That should really help her be more comfortable.

Please pray for her today - she has a busy day in store for her. Several appointments with therapists and tests. Depending on what the speech therapist says they may remove her feeding tube today. This would be a great step!

One of the things Deb and Dad have been trying to get done over the last few days is to get into the van to try and find Mom and Kim's glasses and Mom's cell phone and a few personal things. It sound like Dad will be able to do that today. Mom wants desperately to go see Kim. I don't know if that will be able to happen today or not. Please pray for her spirits, she sounded a bit down when I talked to her this morning.

So many of you have called and emailed or caught us at church yesterday saying you are praying and asking how you can help. Thank you so much! Right now there are no immediate needs in the family. We will let you know when there are ways you can help. One of the things church family can do is to call the church and see how you can help there. Many things are coming up that Mom cares about and usually takes care of - it would be awesome to be able to tell her how her church family is stepping up to make ministry continue to happen!

In the next few days and weeks Deb is planning on coordinating meals in for Kirk and Becky and later for Mom and Dad. If you want to help in that way get word to her (call or e-mail) and she will get that worked out when it's needed.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

Dan
