Update on Kristi Anthony

Posted around 12midnight:  "We are overwhelmed by your love and concern. Thank you for all of your faithful prayers and the great unity prayer at 6:00 pm! Here is where we stand and all of this is very new and confusing. Evidently the hospital wants to move us out very soon. They tell us that Medicare has a short window for us to be eligible for LTAC (Long Term Acute Care) which is the "step down" from a hospital but if we don't get transferred then we will only be eligible for a "nursing home" which is not acceptable and Kristi could never get enough professional care in her condition. It is strange because she has shown definite signs of progress these last two days. Tuesday they will place a PEG feeding tube then do the trach on Wednesday at 1:00. I have to leave my precious Kristi tomorrow to go search out these LTAC's to find the best one. I am very discouraged about leaving Kristi but it has to be done in order to find the best facility. Sandy and my sister will be with Kristi while I am gone. Please pray that God directs me to the best facility; the one where he wants Kristi to heal. Julie Ann (Shelton) has been wonderful to help us in this process. My sister-in-law Bobbie Welch is also helping find an LTAC. Your prayers are needed as God is still in Control and will heal Kristi completely. It is now when our faith must remain grounded in Him alone. I know that many have prayed without ceasing and you have been hurting deeply as we are but please keep the faith and continue to bring Kristi before Our Father. He is strong in our weakness. - In Him - Jay, Austin, Tyler, Cody, Sandy and our entire family."
