This is Tuesday evening and Liz and Gina will be traveling back to Texas tomorrow. Please pray for their safe travel. They're going to try to be at the Blood Drive on Sat... Hope to see you there.

Even though Sean went through a 2nd surgery today, this was not a set back, but done as a precaution. The doctor is still very pleased with his progression. Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers, especially Sean.

Sean is still improving even though we had a bump in the road yesterday. They had taken him off the vent., but they had to put him back on yesterday afternoon. This was not because of his inability to breathe on his own, but because he was laboring too hard and couldn't handle the secretions. This is not a set back by any means, he just needs a few more days to get stronger. All the results are still positive. We'll keep you posted.

Good morning! Sean's still improving and appears to be still having positive progress. When they lower his pain medication, he appears to be more alert. Continue your prayers, they're working!

Good morning! Yesterday marked the 1 week anniversity of Sean's accident. We can hardly believe all the progress he's made in that 7 days, nor all the friends we've met and the prayers that have gone up for him from all over the United States. Hopefully, we are close to bringing him back to Texas. Prayer needs at this present time are: he'll progress enough in the next few days to be transported, that paperwork, etc. will be done quickly and smoothly, that we'll find the best doctor and hospital to meet SEAN'S needs and that the road ahead will be smooth. Thanks for your continued prayers.

The Bolton Family

We just saw Sean a little while ago. His sedation meds have been cut off all day, with only some pain meds occasionally. He is slowly responding. We are all cautiously optimistic about everything. We all want to thank each and everyone for your prayers thoughts and calls for our son. He is truly blessed to have all of ya'll as friends. Keep him in your prayers.

Thanks, Sean's family
