[willowbrook] Fwd: Jim Turner retrieves Paul from Union University after tornado

[Jim Turner]

Doug,

Thanks for sending out the report, and thanks all for
the prayers.

We have a little updated information on the boys who
remain hospitalized.  Paul's team mate is in surgery
to relieve pressure from swelling in his legs.  Both
boys will apparently need dialysis for some weeks or
months.  Please continue to pray for them, and for
healing for the university overall.

Thankfully,
Jim Turner
