Since the beginning of this accident, she has now had a mild heart attack & stroke, broken her hip and fractured L-12 vertebrae in her back, her kidneys had stopped functioning...currently they are back working..not yet to where the doctors are wanting them to be so they can begin surgeries. At this time the Dr��s are not allowing any visitation outside the immediate family due to her weakened state. We do want to thank you for all of the much needed prayers. -- Nancy Tipton

7/16/10 We found out she now has had 2 strokes "light" ones on the left side, & one @ the back & to the right of the head. A contrast MRI is scheduled for Sabbath morning. Her vitals are improving and she is alert and gaining strength. There is no visitation @ this time due to her weakened system and so many issues for her to recover from. We do want to thank you for your prayers, please continue to pray for God��s intervention and a complete recovery.

7/18/10 Thankfully, the MRI results were good. If she continues to improve the stress test will be on Monday, and if the stress test goes well, the hip surgery on Tuesday.
She is gaining strength and starting to improve from the damages, that are determined, of the strokes. Thank you in advance your prayers! -- Nancy Tipton

We have to look to Hebrews 11 and how they suffered too.
Please do know we appreciate all your prayers and cards.. They lift her more than you can ever know... She said she just is moved by the many loving cards and the prayers... Thank you so much.. Please do remember all of those who suffer it is so crutial to God and to Christ for they did suffer and do suffer with us too.. thank you again Pat and Larry Summers Indianapolis church -- Pat Summers

Our daughter may be in that group, but I pray that we do not neglect to pray for one another so that God can refine us to be the right kind of kings and priests in the government of God...
