Castle Christian Church family,
Lindsey told me today that Nathan has continued to improve. He may be eating solid foods tonight and if all goes well he may come home tomorrow. They have to see how well he handles the food. He got to see Luke today which of course really lifted his spirits. Lindsey sounded in much better spirits herself.
Any teens that would like to go up to Nathan and Lindsey's house and do some yard work Sunday afternoon, see me at church or email me for details. I plan on being there at 3:00.
Keep up the prayers for Nathan, Lindsey and the kids. Thanks for everybody's help with supporting them.
Emily

UPDATES FROM EMILY AND BEN
Hi Ben,
I just got off the phone with Lindsey. She said Nathan is doing much better today. He even ate a Popsicle. Depending on how he continues to progress, it is possible that he may come home Sunday. Lindsey asks for prayers for the kids to stay well and for Nathan's healing. She needs your prayers too. She said Kroger cards or gas cards would be a big help.
Emily
Continue your prayers for Nathan and this family. I am going to take 2 ($100.00 worth) cards from the church allotment and take to her. If anyone has Kroger Cards or wishes to donate money to purchase more cards to replace these or send directly to Lindsey , please let me know. I'll get it from you and get it to Lindsey ASAP.

Nathan & Lindsey Update from Emily
I talked to Lindsey today. Nathan is not allowed at this time to have visitors. He is recovering a little slower than they had hoped for. He is still in a good deal of pain and he has asked for prayers for relief from the pain, peace and comfort, quick recovery, financial aspects. Lindsey needs prayers too. She has a lot to handle between the kids and being with Nathan as much as she can. I have offered to help out with the kids. At this time her mother is helping her. Sunday afternoon, I am going to ask the youth to meet at their house to do some much needed yard work. I haven't found out what would be the best time for Lindsey. We don't want to interfere with the kids' naps. I will asked her tomorrow and I will announce it at youth group Wednesday night.
Thanks for your help.

NATHAN UPDATE - 6/23/08
To the Castle Christian Family,
It has been brought to my attention that Lindsey is going to need help with gasoline costs while Nathan is in the hospital. If anyone has Kroger cards they have not yet given out, please consider giving it to Lindsey. Our benevolence funds may be needed to help with medical bills later.
Also, Betsy Hightower is lining up meals for them. If you want to help, you might let her know. Emily is also organizing the teens to get Nathan's yard work done. Again, let her know if you can offer any assistance with this.
I'm still trying to reach Lindsey to see what we can do to help them through this. If any of you have talked to Lindsey and know of any need they have, please let the rest of us know. OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR THEM.
Nathan is at Northside Hospital Forsyth in room 404, but I don't know that he's up for visitors yet. I'm sure a card would be appreciated though.
Love to everyone,
Ben

Nathan update 2
I just talked to Nathan this morning at about 9:45. He is awake, minus one appendix, and feeling much better. Apparently, he didn't get into surgery until after 11:00 last night (typical hospital timing).
They made a small incision in his abdomen, near his belly button. In order to see clearly they needed to inflate his belly with CO2. He said that is currently the only uncomfortable thing.
As of now he feels well enough to join Lindsey in Atlanta this weekend for the wedding they are participateing in. He told me that if he doesn't feel well when they release him after 11:00, he may make other plans.
Thanks for all the prayers!

Nathan update
I just got another call from Nathan. He DOES have to have surgery to remove his appendix this afternoon or this evening. Lindsey is performing in a wedding and is out of town with the kids.
It sounds like the surgery will be arthroscopic (is that correct?) and will not be as invasive as appendectomies have been in the past and he may even be released tonight. However, as Kevin Slatton told me today, the only minor surgery is one that happens to someone else, so this is still not a fun day for Nathan.
Nathan is trying to decide whether to travel this weekend and be with his family, or stay in the area for the weekend. He'll probably be fairly sore in the aftermath, so please pray for him!
I'll update you all as soon as I know more.

NATHAN in HOSPITAL
Hey everyone,
I just got a call from Nathan who is right now in the hospital in Cumming. He had some abdominal pain this morning and went in. He will be having some tests done at 1:30 with the purpose of deciding whether or not to have his appendix removed.
Please pray as he may have to have surgery today!
We'll try to notify everyone of any news.
