Update on TIm

Saturday afternoon: 4:50pm.
Hey Everyone, I had news earlier this morning, but we have been at a church picnic all day.
Here is Ken's text from this morning, around 10:30
" Timothy is doing well. He is able to fell pain in his feet and has moved his legs!! This a big answer to prayer. Please keep him in your prayers as he is having his breathing ube removed and for no complications as that he will be able to manage the pain as they wake him heavily sedated."

Shauna also sent out an email today that reads as follows:
"Hi everyone,
As many of you have heard by now, Timothy had been screaming for 3 weeks unconsolably which is very unlike him. I knew something was drastically wrong and took him the the ER which did not do enough investigating. By Tuesday he had stopped eating and drinking and could no longer move his legs. Anyways, yesterday at MAC he underwent an 8 hour surgery to remove a tumour from his spinal canal. Becky Hart has been keeping up with all the details on her blog. Please read them at www.harts.name and then click on Eric and Becky.
Tim has survived thus far but we are unaware of the extent of the damage to his spinal cord. Please keep us in your prayers and pray for a miracle. To date he is doing as well as possible under the circumstances. Thank you for all your prayers, emails, texts, and offers to help. We have 100s of people supporting us and at least 5 churches are praying for him! God is good!! He has given us a great sense of peace, even as we weep for our son. Praise God for our health care system which is giving him the best possible care.Please keep updated at Becky’s blog.

At this time we are still in the ICU where it is not feasible to have visitors for the next few days.

Thanks! Big hugs and kisses!

Shauna and Ken


Thanks everyone for the prayers for Tim and please keep them up!!



Saturday morning: 8:45am
Last night we received a text from Ken that Tim had his MRI and it showed that the doctors got all they could, and they don't need to open him up again. Now they just wait for results from the biopsy. Tim is in the CCU ( Critical Care unit) which is a step down from the ICU.
That's all for now!
