Sunday Afternoon

New Concerns for Scott Lindsey

Scott Lindsey underwent Crainioplasty on Tuesday at Our Lady of the Lake. He went through the procedure like a trooper. We brought him home on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, he had a seizure and was transported back to Our Lady of the Lake. He had two additional seizures, one in the ambulance in route and another after we arrived in the Emergency Room. He is currently in ICU at the Lake. Please keep Scott and our family in your prayers.

At this time the doctors are uncertain as to the cause of the seizures. Hopefully, they were isolated since he has not had any seizures after they started him on medication.

Dorrit S. Rick showed us a picture of her grandson, Sonny, who was born this week.  He weighs 2 lb. 2 oz. and is in North Oaks.  Brittni is home and doing okay now.  Please be in prayer for the Chandler and Rick families as they are so concerned for the new baby.

Pray for Scooter and Karen Pittman Lane as the time for their little girl’s birth is fast approaching.
