Update on Kristi Anthony - 6/27
Posted by Jay at 10:40pm: "We decided to take Kristi to visit the college that Austin will be attending in less than two months. She went back last October when we took Austin on a basketball recruiting visit but couldn't remember anything about it so we decided to try to help her memory with a visit and also give her a break since she has never really had one.
Making our first out of town trip was a little nerve racking but it went very well. Kristi enjoyed it but as for helping her memory let's just say it hasn't worked out YET. I cannot imagine how much pain that this causes her. The boys wanted to take her to a movie and I sat watching her the entire time rather than the movie. She mainly looked around the theater and never really watched the movie. I think she was trying to decide what was going on in her strange and unfamiliar surroundings. It was the same each morning as she awoke in an unfamiliar environment. I had to repeatedly remind her where we were and why we were there. We see the pain (even though she rarely expresses it attempting to shield us) that she wrestles with in this constant state of confusion. If it involves distant or long term memories she is mostly knowledgeable but struggles with anything short term.
We cannot imagine how frightening this must be for her but we see it daily. Tonight I was speaking with her about God's plan for her life and assuring her that she has come so very far. She told me that she knows that God wants something good for her but she hopes that she will be able to know what it is!
I am begging you all to pass this request on to EVERY true believer and ask them to pray SPECIFICALLY and with intensity on Friday, June 28th for God to restore Kristi's memory. It is heart breaking to watch her struggle and she IS the sweetest, kindest, most caring person that I have ever known - the Anthony's are FOREVER grateful for the time that you have and continue to bring Kristi before the Lord - Jay"

Update - Kristi Anthony - 6/18
Posted by Jay late last night: "It's a long journey, 7 months yesterday. Many hurdles, many set backs, many sleepless nights, BUT many, many more answered prayers. God is so good, He's good even when we are faithless and weak. All of you faithful followers of Kristi's story are so special to us and we are forever grateful for those who continue in prayer daily...she needs that and so do we all. Her therapy here in Paris started and we have 4 days behind us and I can tell that she is much less fatigued and happier. Her memory is still the biggest problem and it is a constant battle which gives her much fear and trouble BUT I know that God will either send someone special to help her or He will work it out another way...He is able. My specific prayer request is for Kristi's memory to take a great advancement. Please go to our father with that request for Kristi. God is in Control! You faithful prayer warriors are a tremendous force for Kristi's progress in this struggle, thank you. - Jay"

Update - Kristi Anthony - 6/13
Posted by Jay today: "Kristi's first few days of therapy at PRMC have been great. Paris people are the best. She is getting great care from the therapists. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY for some special people who could be helpful in Kristi's cognitive rehabilitation to feel God's urging if, in fact, that is HIS plan. Since leaving Pate Kristi is now doing much less therapy on a weekly basis (but making strides none-the-less due to the quality of therapy) so we would love to be able to supplement her PT, ST, and OT with some professional cognitive therapy as her troubled memory is still a great burden on her and probably the greatest obstacle in her path. God has sent a wonderful Neuro Physcologist to give us some comfort because he "felt" God urging him to contact us! HE AMAZES me still."
