Continued Hope and Perseverance (Update from John, Angie’s brother)

Desperation & Determination (From Angie)

We once again found ourselves in the ER last night with extreme pain. So much so that Will could not be lifted out of the wheelchair and into the recliner. I have no words for the day we’ve had.

MRI Update (From Angie)

Will was unable to get all of the MRI completed yesterday. He was given as much sedation as possible before risking not being able to bring him back and the pain was still too unbearable to lay flat for that long. They were able to get enough of it to see a fracture at the […]
