        shoulder pain)
4 number of fingers Kevin sees if I hold up 2 fingers (waiting patiently for his vision to be 
        restored)
20 number of mg. of decadron Kevin took 
2 number of diet cokes Abby drank (total red flag)
3 number of kids sick with a cold
4 number of empty kleenex boxes

5 number of feet of moldy drywall removed from my kitchen

  3. We send our love and concern your way. You are living examples of the words strength, courage and valor. Scott and Mitzi joined us from Boise in our fast for Kevin last Monday. It was a wonderful scene in Aunt Kath's living room - the whole Cannon family together again asking the Lord's help as we have done many times through the years- and then we read your blog and you validate our testimonies. We are holding you in our hearts. Aunt Janet
