Nathan’s Story

Site created on September 12, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Nathan is in a medically induced coma, starting on 9/11/2021. He started feeling ill, the day before, and it quickly progressed. West Nile, encephalitis. An infection in his brain, which is most likely causing tremendous pressure. He has been transferred to a hospital, more than an hour away from our house. Our church, San Tan Bible has me, Lori, at a hotel near by. And Elizabeth, Nathan's oldest daughter and her husband, Erik and 2 little ones, are helping hold things together back at the house. Grace, our 17 year old, is the backbone of that operation, between the 2 of them, with the help of brothers, Luke, Elijah and wife Carol, Lamar, David and Jeremiah, Faith and Hope are keeping our youngest 3, Mercy, Gabriel and Obidiah, occupied and fed. Our oldest son, Samuel and wife Nicole, and their 3 little ones, are literally in the middle of a move to Texas. We are devastated, but relying on our God, to comfort and heal.
