I just talked to Josh for awhile after he spent most of the week in Arkansas with Cristyl. His heart is torn leaving her there, and it gets harder each time they separate, but they know she is where she needs to be right now. Josh said he saw her in the clinic doing exercises that she hasn't been able to do since her surgery, and that is AMAZING. With that however, comes more more pain for Cristyl. Her body is being forced to do things it hasn't done in so long and it will probably feel like it's getting worse before it gets better, but with God, we know all things are possible. We think we have OUR plans, but GOD has his plans and that is what we have to rely on. I know Cristyl can and will get through this and she will come out strong and confident and be able to enjoy her life again! Please keep her and Josh and Hoyt and Cristyl in you prayers this week! Josh is going back to work on Monday, and Hoyt is staying in Southern IL with our cousins which will be so hard on all of them. 

Love and prayers,

Lindsay
