  • Jonathan Amrhein had his surgery yesterday (Thursday) at Akron Children’s to remove part of a tumor that was found on his brain and to perform a biopsy to determine the plan of action moving forward. They were able to remove about 35% of the tumor. He will be in the ICU most likely through the weekend and then moved to a regular room. Please continue to pray for him and his dear family!

  • Jean Smithley is being discharged from Cleveland Clinic Mercy hospital today (Friday) after being treated for several weeks for a brain tumor. She will be homebound (for now) with much in-home care. The hope is to start radiation treatment on the tumor if it continues to shrink. If you would like read a more lengthy update from her son CLICK HERE. If you would like to provide a meal for Jean while she is home please CLICK HERE. Note that her son Michael is the meal coordinator.
