Jerry Lee is Shannon’s Mom. Here she is with Toby at Christmas.

Back in October we spent several weeks in Virginia with Shannon’s family. Her mom spent 27 days in the hospital undergoing two major surgeries and other procedures to repair a failing lung. We can’t thank you enough for all your prayers – a real lifeline – during that time.

Her recovery has been slow but thankfully she is steadily regaining more respiratory capacity! Shannon’s parents were even able to come spend a week with us in February.

During Jerry Lee’s hospital stay, Shannon’s grandmother was also temporarily hospitalized with congestive heart failure. She was able to return home living with Shannon’s mom and dad. Last month she celebrated her 80th birthday. Please continue to lift up Shannon’s mom and grandmother. Thank you!
