Posted last night by Jay: "There have been some little steps of increased memory for Kristi these last few days and for that we PRAISE God! Baby steps forward still move her in the right direction. Please pray for Kristi's depression and home-sickness to get better as it is very bad right now. Please remember the boy's as we await something positive. God is in Control - Jay"

Update on Kristi Anthony
Posted by the Anthony's at 7:30pm tonight: "God is in Control! This has been our family's resting place during these long and difficult months. Sometimes we fail to trust in His greatness but He always brings us back. Without Him we are NOTHING. It is very difficult right now with no big steps of progress BUT it is definitely better than it was in February, January, December and certainly November. I want to assure you all that we are still here and Kristi is still in need of your faithful prayers. It is tough BUT we have all been forced to put our trust in the only source of Hope...God through Christ Jesus. There is NOTHING special about us or our situation and EVERYONE has pain in their own lives which is why we are so HUMBLED that you are sticking by us in this time, WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE AND PRAYERS. Thank You - the Anthony's."

Former LACOC member, Perry Bolton, had biopsies yesterday. The Dr. is sure the right kidney tumor is cancer (awaiting biopsy).....The Dr. said he did NOT like what he saw with the tumor on the left....(awaiting biopsy)......However, the left tumor is at a place where it can be removed in surgery. It is out of our hands but in God's hands. His Dad, David, will fly to Colorado when he has surgery or whenever he is needed to help. (He is Evelyn Perry's grandson.)

Update on Kristi Anthony - 3/15
Posted by Jay last night: "I've been very neglectful to you all recently with my updates and for that I apologize. I could make excuses because we have been overwhelmingly busy BUT that would be an excuse.
The truth is that Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation is a slow and difficult process and the baby step progress is often followed by long periods of level ground and even some st backs. So I haven't had much to report and we do get emotionally drained at times.
Kristi is progressing, slowly but SURELY and always with God's healing hand on her life. We still don't know what time frame we are dealing with or what the future holds for the boys BUT we know who holds the future!
I am certain of this - God will heal Kristi completely and He will take good care of our boys too. God is in Control. Times get difficult here and there and we do experience moments of discouragement BUT He is always faithful to energize us with the strength we need to get through each day, one at a time.
If you see Austin, Tyler, or Cody remember that they (and I) are merely human, full of errors and mistakes and nowhere near the people that God wants us to be but we all want to be such. I am reminded of the old "preachers" tale of the little boy who is lying frightened in bed under his covers during a thunder storm and his dad calls out from another room "don't worry God is with you". The little boy responds "yes but I need someone with skin on him"! You see we all need another person who God puts in our path some times. So if you see our boys and feel that God has put you in their path for some reason please just be there with a word to lift their pain.
I cannot tell you how much pain has been lifted from my life by all of your prayers, kind words, and actions. In Him - Jay"

John Figgins' had an MRI last week and cancer “come to the surface” on his arm. The doctor has told him not to pick up anything with that arm, he’s very susceptible to breakage.
Dr. Prakash, John's cancer Dr., gave him 2 options: Radiation or Surgery.
MRI results were sent to Dr. Green, Ortho Surgeon, his opinion was that John is not ready for surgery.
He gets his arm “mapped” tomorrow at 11:00; his local radiation begins Monday, 03/11, 5 times per week for 3 weeks, elbow to shoulder. These treatments are not expected to make him sick or lose hair.
Please keep John and Marie on your hearts as Marie has been very ill these last few weeks also.

I received this message from Roy and Anna Bolton last week: "Just wanted to say we miss Lamar Ave and all our lovely friends there. We are happy here but you know there's no place like home. However we do have a great preacher here, ha but we miss Patrick also. God has been so good to us here and the people at church and otherwise are so very friendly, it is hard for us to believe as new comers to the community."
