I forgot to mention Gail is having surgery on her wrist this morning in Baton Rouge. When she got medical attention for the other arm, this one was thought to be okay. She really had double trouble. In the mealtime, the other arm is much better now. Please pray surgery goes well and the recovery time doesn’t drag on any longer.

Monday Update
David and I were called Mr. Steve’s cell phone, which Boyd has been using for a week while stateside, and got Mr. Steve. We also talked with “Miss” Ginger. They both sounded good. Today, Mr. Steve started physical therapy and made some good progress. He was also allowed to get a shower. That certainly was good to improved his spirits.
Boyd was being taken to the airport by his brother, Aaron. Boyd will leave shortly and arrive home, after only one layover, tomorrow night. His family has managed their busy schedule while he has been away.
Thank you for your prayers for the family. Please keep praying.

Steve Hatchel (from Boyd)
Thank you for praying for my father’s surgery. The doctor removed 98% of the tumor. After the surgery, he had decreased mobility in his left side and is unable to move his leg. The pathology report indicated a Grade 4 Multi-form Glioblastoma malignant brain tumor. My parents will be considering treatment options within the next two weeks. Please pray for my father, mother, and extended family. Please call 214-552-6437 before visiting Medical Center of Plano.
Johnnie “Lil Man” Santangelo
Update: Lil Man had to go to the ER today because of increased vomiting. The CT scan revealed swelling at the site where the tumor was removed and the shunt is working fine. They are restarting steroids to help the swelling and are giving him meds through the IV for nausea & vomiting. He’s resting now. His blood pressure is high 170’s/90’s but hopefully will come down now that he is comfortable. We will keep u posted. Keep the prayers coming. Love, The Santangelo’s

Flooding Relief in Florida
From Christy Haynes
Our island is all about HELPING HANDS!!! I’ve been especially blown away by the students & kids here! They have helped neighbors save pets, they’ve tracked down boats, they’ve rescued people from their homes and even given of their own clothes & toys to friends who lost everything over the past 24hrs. I have not heard complaining. I’ve seen everyone bring awareness to the needs and I’ve seen everyone pull together to help in the ways that they can. That’s legit folks! That’s something to be proud of and that’s being the hands and feet of God. Please contact me or Brady Haynesif you need anything! We will do our best to get it to you. Even if you just need someone to pray with your family and offer counseling. We know this is not just a hit to your material things. It’s emotionally draining and can be scary for the little ones. Speaking of the little ones…snakes are abound so please be careful! Several kids have been out playing in these waters & have seen snakes (including water moccasins) We LOVE all of you. Be Blessed as the sun comes out today.
From Brady Haynes
Instead of Hi-5 yesterday, our students used their hands to be a light in our community. They helped rescue people, pets and boats. They’ve also donated to those in need. Now that’s a bright idea! Please contact me if you need any help today. I would also be glad to pray with any kids or families who are having a tough time dealing with the flooding and disaster. We will help get you through this. Stay safe. Some Good weather is on the way!
