Update for 11/11

Sorry for the lack of updates last week. I've been unusually busy and have been experiencing occasional internet problems as well.

Jessie was moved out of Trauma Step-down last week on Wednesday to the 4th floor (Room B-451) where she has visiting hours from 9:00AM to 8:30PM. Now she can have as many visitors as she wants, which is a pleasant improvement. In the visits since her move took place, she has looked much better, even as she continues to battle a mysterious fever.

I want to thank all of you for your continued prayers and support.

Benefit at the Bald Butcher

The benefit yesterday at the Bald Butcher in Covington (opening soon!) was a great success. Plenty of people turned out to buy barbecue, get balloon animals and have their faces painted. Just as it happened for the last fund raiser, the local community turned out to show their support for one of their own. This is the kind of thing that helps restore one's faith in humanity.

We wish to recognize the following supporters who helped make all this happen on Sunday by donating food, games and services:

Len Billings, owner/operator of The Bald Butcher
Valerie and Cheryl Wortham (Balloons and Face Painting)
Broadway Baptist Church of Southaven, MS (Games, Drinks and Candy)
Starbucks of Southaven, MS (Food for the Cake Walk)
