Thank you for praying with us as we are temporarily living in central Texas. We are making steady progress helping Mikayla get established in the town of Waco where she can be near doctors that provide the best medical care for her connective tissue disease as well as allow her to live close to Baylor University for potential continued education. Thank you for praying for us as we seek the Lord on how best to make this transition. She is currently meeting with a bone doctor in Fort Worth, and although he is not able to provide a cure, he is helping to slow the degenerative effects of her illness. Please pray for her healing, and for deep peace and acceptance for whatever the Lord has for her future.

We need to let you know about our change of Plans

We recently sent you an email to say that Susan and I have become very concerned about the painful disease our daughter, Mikayla, is enduring and we decided that we needed to have Susan and Mikenna fly to the States to be with Mikayla as she started a treatment program for pain in Washington DC. Susan has now been with Mikayla for a little over three weeks and it has recently become clear to us that Mikayla needs us to be with her for a longer period of time to help her work through more doctor appointments and treatments, and to help her come up with a plan for her next few years.
