Update

Vicki asked me for an update on our family's health issues, so I thought I would post it out here.

My mom is doing much better.  She had surgery last Friday to repair her leg.  They ended up putting a titanium rod in her leg, which was the better of the two options, as it provides the bones with stability.  Since they put the rod in, she is able to bear some weight on that leg already.

She was released from the hospital on Tuesday, and Dad was able to find a condo with an elevator for them to stay at during the remainder of their time in Alabama.  They were supposed to leave Alabama on the 23rd (or 24th - I don't remember), but since Mom is still recovering, they will stay down there to the end of the month.  One of my siblings or I will fly down at that time, to help Dad with the driving on the trip home.

Shannon is hanging in there.  We were misinformed about his prognosis originally.  As it stands now, he has about another week or so of being able to live at his apartment and then will probably have to enter hospice care.  Please continue to pray for him.  Also pray for Chris, as he is/will be the one helping to make the health care decisions and dealing with the hospice/doctors, etc.

Thank you for all your prayers.  They are very much appreciated!
