Update on Karen's pregnancy

As some of you may know, Karen Gurganus will be having surgery to deliver Baby Gurganus on Tuesday, August 25. She will need to remain in the hospital until at least Saturday, August 29. After that, Karen will need to recuperate from surgery. After about 4 weeks (late Sept), Karen is expected to be able to get up and around. But it will be about 9 weeks, or until late October, before Karen will be able to return to normal physical duties.

Kelli Flanagan has set up a care calendar so that we can sign up to bring dinners to the house and plan an occasional cleaning at the house. Giving diapers, wipes, and Infamil baby formula would also be a great way to help the Gurganus family.

Karen has expressed a desire for a double stroller called "Sit N Stand" by Baby Trend, available at Target.

Wethought maybe we could all contribute toward this gift and get it for them. Let Kelli Flanagan (kel_flan@hotmail.com) know if you would like to contribute.

Please take a look and contact Kelli (email or text @ 830-385-1229 is preferred) if you have any questions about the calendar or how to help. She has never done this type of calendar before so bear with her if it is not set up very well. :)

Let's lift Karen and George and the baby up to our Lord in prayer. As well, we need to pray for the doctors and the hospital staff to make this miracle happen for them...and as smoothly as possible. Let us also pray for Anna and Clayton as they prepare to welcome a little brother or sister into their home and hearts.

As well this is expanding our LHC family by one more little soul that we need to help nurture him or her in the upbringing of this wonderful Christian family.
