Lincoln

As many of you already know, one of our 7-year old twins, Lincoln, suffered a serious skull fracture yesterday after falling from a tree and striking a concrete sidewalk headfirst. He was air lifted from Banner Gateway to Phoenix Children's when doctors determined the extent of the fracture and the existence of intercranial bleeding and air pressure around Lincoln's brain.

Lincoln is doing remarkably well and should be downgraded from ICU tomorrow if he continues to remain stable. Lincoln faces a long, difficult rehabilitation in the months ahead, but the doctors are confident that he will make a full recovery without any significant long-term consequences or permanent impairments.

We appreciate everyone's love and support and know that many of you have been praying on our behalf. Your prayers have been critical to our feelings of peace. These feelings have only been repeated throughout the day through your expressions of love and concern.

We love all of you,

Patrick and Natalie
