Highland Update(s)
Thanks for the outpouring of concern for the Highland Family in general and specifically for the families directly affected by this tragedy.
All three of the boys in Cook's are doing well and had a good night last night. The parents are optimistic, though perhaps a little overwhelmed. While the support has been great, prayers are the most welcome gifts. All three boys should be in the hospital at least all week.
John Westin Bennett had a successful surgery on two broken legs. He is "alert and well" and is expected to be out of ICU perhaps by this afternoon. His parents, Wes and Teri are upbeat and optimistic.
Austin Lemmons also had a good night and appears to be comfortable. He is responding to requests for "hand squeezes" and his outlook is also good. He has a concussion among others injuries.
Chris Cope also had a "good night." Further tests revealed no other unexpected complications and he is resting comfortably.
Jim Morrison, and ER physician and Highland member made the trip to Cook's as well and is ministering to the families. That man is Jesus in a stethoscope.
As far as the kids in Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene, at last word Amara Childers was the only one remaining with all aother having been released.
For Highland members or anyone else interested, we will not have the planned divided service on Wednesday night, but will instead meet together in the auditorium. A special time of prayer is being planned today.

Val - do you know if they are completely overwhelmed with visitors? Living here in the metroplex, I'd love to go and visit with them, but don't want to intrude or overwhelm any of the families.
Val,
I have talked with Larry this morning and here is the unofficial update on Julie Folwell. They chose not to do surgery last night on Julie's broken vertabrae. Her neck is stable so they can let her recover a little more before surgery. Julie is alert and awake, but in critical condidtion. Her girls are on the way to Lubbock to see their mom at the 1:15 visiting time and will return this evening. Julie is having some difficulty breathing due to damage in her ribs. Larry asks us to pray for this problem to be quickly healed.

Val: thanks for the update, although I don't need to know I want to know how all of these great kids and their families are doing. I am constantly praying silently and aloud, please God hear my prayers. Geoff
