Today is the first day of the soccer season and Havah will be there (without a walker)! It's crazy but I can't even type that without tears escaping my eyes. She has improved a little since our last update. Her hip is beginning to improve but her nerve pain in her foot is still intense. She'll be ok and then the next moment she'll be in tears and in excruciating pain. This makes planning or doing anything so impossible. She still can't sleep much at night and it's really taking its toll on her physically & emotionally. She REALLY wants to be able to drive & do some normal things. Tim has been doing everything for her and he is going to be out of town on business next week so extra prayers are needed for that too. She so desperately want to move forward.

Elisha would have been 4 weeks on Thursday. The loss is so real everyday to her and then milestones just amplify the pain. We can make his life count everyday as we share the faith of his parents and the Lord's faithfulness to bring peace, inner healing, and joy in such darkness. In all this trauma and chaos, God is real and he has shown His love. He has shown it in presence, in the wisdom of doctors, in your prayers, dinners of love, thoughtful checks sent, kind words, etc... Elisha's life was shorter than most but it has stretched around the world in joining in prayers and love for the Felkers and my whole family. Havah and all of us send our thanks.

If you would please add a prayer for my dear uncle Skip, who's birthday is today. He suffered from a massive stroke 2 weeks ago & hasn't been showing much improvement. This is yet another big strain on all of us. He is married to my dad's sister Judy & has two adult kids who don't live locally.

We thank you so much for taking time to read this & being so committed to pray and ask how my sister is.

Love to you all, Kahanah
