The Evelyn Report

Struck by Lightning in Holland, Texas
My neice, Evelyn Pearl Cockerham, was struck by lightning at the end of August of last year. She has been in a coma ever since but has been showing signs of improvement. The last EEG showed signs of minimal consciousness. She is able to blink her eyelids very slowly and wiggle her toes. She is at home with 24 hour nursing care and is having her medical expenses paid for by Medicaid, but there are still expenses to get her the care and equipment that she needs. The family recently purchased a hospital bed for her from the church donations which was a major upgrade from the bed provided to her by her in home care agency. We thank you for your donations and your love and prayers. We are still looking into hyperbaric oxygen therapy but it may not be as beneficial as we were hoping to Evelyn's condition. Also, travel to a facility that would give her the therapy would be too difficult for their family.
Thanks again!
With all our love, The Chanthavongs
