All looks well and he will be in ICU until Friday morning. Noah is staying until Sunday and Bethany is staying until Tuesday. Richard will go to a new room Friday morning so we will give a new phone number when available.

Happy Birthday Candace!

Candace got a wonderful birthday gift this year. She got to sing in her church choir WITH Travis Cotrell and Cindy Morgan! (these are Christian singers). Travis (left), Candace is on the front row 2nd from the right, just at the back of the director. It was a beautiful concert and I was on the front row in the sanctuary! I have never been that close at a concert! It was amazing!

Happy Birthday Candace!!! Cindy Morgan!
