    Just got a call from Brent. Doctors seem to be doing all they can for Jaren. It will be a tough 3 weeks ahead for Brent, Mindy, & Jaren. Brent says Lambeths are a tough bunch, though. We will keep the family in our prayers.

    We will definetly keep you in our prayers! Jaren sounds like a fighter already, thanks for the updates, I was thinking of calling but didn't want to bother you, I know in some areas they don't allow phones there.

    You guys are in our prayers. We'll be thinking about you. I'm glad to hear you're staying at the RMH. That place is pretty awesome. Kind of like the temple, with everyone being volunteers. It makes everyone so friendly and helpful.
