Dan Turner

Great news everybody! Today, I successfully completed the medical trial and met criteria to have the intrathecal Baclofen (ITB) pump surgically implanted. I am scheduled to see the neurosurgeon that will perform my surgery on 8/31. The surgery will be scheduled when I see him. It’s pretty cool—it’s the same neurosurgeon that helped keep me alive during my 3-week ICU stay at UMC. His name is Dr. Shiflett and he earned my respect and admiration while seeing his meticulous attention to detail when we worked together, during my helicopter years at UMC. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support over the past few weeks. We can mark this one down as, “prayers answered”.Great news everybody!

Please continue to pray for Dan and those trying to help improve his health.

Ken Roberts

Ken was airlifted to Tulane Hospital in N.O. last night in preparation for steps that hopefully will lead to a heart transplant.  Thank God Ken made it from Hammond to New Orleans and now has an opportunity to have this procedure.  Please keep praying.

Flo Hatcher

Carol New’s sister, Flo, has completed her physical therapy and will be able to go home today.  Please continue to pray for improvement and for her caregivers.

Mansell Stinson

Mansell still doesn’t know when his leg will have the balloons re-inflated/replaced to give him better circulation.  Please pray for him as he continues to wait for a date.

Betty Taylor

Betty continues to have several health issues, knee, eye, etc.  Please keep her in your prayers.
