Update 4/22/08

I spoke with Walter today. He's been out of commision for the past few days, but he was back in action today. For that I am grateful.

Walter and Shannon's trip to the neurosurgeon in Atlanta was a bit of a disappointment as the neurosurgeon did not receive the necessary test results from Walter's neurologist office in Knoxville to make a firm analysis. At this point the neurologist is forwarding the necessary results to the neurosurgeon after which the neurosurgeon will review the results and make a recommendation. Let's pray that Walter does not need another surgery!

On the positive side, Walter has been added to Shannon's health insurance at Baptist! This is a really huge answer to prayer as it will allow him to continue to receive the medical attention he needs.

Still Walter and Shannon are very much struggling financially, and I know a lot of us feel helpless to make a difference for them in this situation, but if we work together we are *not* helpless. See the discussion topic "Power in Numbers" for details.

Let's continue to remember Walter and Shannon in our prayers daily. They need and deserve it!
