Channel 3 Report

You can view the Channel 3 report here.

For Utah visitors, KSL picked up the story here.

Thanks everyone for joining in the fast and prayers today. We feel so much peace and know that they are going to pull through. I am with Lucy and my parents tonight with the children.

Angels are surrounding these children. They are in the best of spirits and cuter than ever.

I was able to talk to the Doctor today. Steph is in for a long recovery (months). Christian is doing better. They are hoping to have him home in weeks.

We are trying to limit hospital visits right now to just close family. I will post more tomorrow on some things Nie readers, friends and neighbors can do to help!

For now, just the prayers. They are making a WORLD of difference!

Cjane - will Nie and Christian need financial help? Along with prayers all the prayers being offered maybe a site can be set up to help pay for all their upcoming medical bills? It sounds like there will be many surgeries for both of them in the future.

I am so sorry this has happened to them.

I watched the extended interview with your mom and I thought she just did so great. The personification of strength and faith in the face of adversity. I just wanted to hug her.

Laurel said...

I was so sorry to hear about your sister and her husband. They have been in my thoughts all day. I will continue to pray for them.

Cjane~What else can we be doing? I'm located in Mesa as well so what else can we be doing? Financial help? Meals?

Other than praying (and believe me, we are!) what else can we be doing???

Your mother did such an amazing job. She is articulate, collected and shows such grace, what an amazing example of what an LDS woman should be.

Continued prayers are with you, my family had a similar experience with one of my sisters and I can truly say our faith sustained us. I know yours will too.

I am so sorry to hear what has happened to stephanie her husband and your family. there isn't much someone can say. i went to high school with stephanie...Carly Brown, and i happen to watch the news tonight which i never do, and i but two and two together. i'm in shock. i instantly ran to the computer and the AZ paper had this email as the contact so i wanted to send my regrets and get in touch with someone because my husband and i are moving to glendale this weekend and be more than willing to help with anything needed. my thoughts, prayers and all possible good vibes are being sent to stephanie and christian.
