Update on Erin

We have an update on Erin. 

Please continue to pray for her, Chad, and the kids.
I do want to remind you all; now is not the time to be preaching to Chad and Erin about not having anymore children. This woman is literally fighting for her life and getting worse by the minute. We need to lift Erin and Chad up in prayers. Prayer that her body will heal so she can get home to her babies. Prayers that Chad has the strength to be both dad & husband during this, but most of all we need to lift Charles, Brooklyn, Everly, Holland, Finley, William and Henry up in prayers as well. 

Just please, please, please pray for her, Chad and the family.
