An Update on Kathy Hurd

According to Gary, "Kathy's physical progress is nothing short of miraculous."

Kathi was released from UC Davis last Friday and the family celebrated her return with an inspirational piano recital from her son, Miles. While still in considerable pain at times, Kathy's strength is amazing. And her faith in God and the love of friends, gets her through those tough times.

She has begun twice daily "laps around the neighborhood", which consist of walking about 5 houses up the road and back. Way to go Kathy!

In an email, Gary writes, "We know that much of her recovery is a direct result of our many supporters who have been lifting her up in prayer over the past weeks. We are forever in their debt."

As you pray for Kathy Hurd, pray for pain management, relief from the nausea caused by the pain medication, strength, and continued healing. And pray that Gary would find patience, renewed strength and compassion as he heeds God's calling - Hebrews 2:1-4.

Finally, the Hurd family wants to go on record that they are Giants fans!

Gary and Kathy,

I have a friend who suffered from nausea from her pain medication. The DR. changed her to one used for Chemotherapy nausea and it allowed her to eat and feel better. The name of the medication is ZOFRAN. I pray for your continued healing and hope you will feel better soon.

That's so wonderful to hear how Kathy is doing, my husband and I will continue to pray for both Kathi/Kathy's recovery. If nothing else this has been great exercise for MY praying muscles. It's so wonderful to watch God's healing and mercy in play with so many people's prayers. Keep hanging in there Kathy, you're doing an amazing job and you and Kathi are just amazingly inspirational to us all! All my love, kathy lonergan
