Update On Sister Cathy Coleman

This morning, Cathy’s husband Mike, reported that the tracheal tube and catheter have been removed. He reported that she has walked some and has said a few words. He reported that Sister Lawrence heard her say, “Hi Mom.” He also reported that she responded to Angie on the phone with the words, “I love you.” He also reported that she is being considered for an assessment for possible placement in the Shepherd Traumatic Brain Injury Rehab Center in Atlanta. Doctors have reported to the family that she has some brain injury but the extent of the injury is unknown at this time. She says simple words at this time and has walked some with assistance. THANK GOD for this great improvement in Sister Cathy. Let us continue to pray for Sister Cathy’s complete recovery.

A silent auction is being held to help the family with expenses. Sister Cathy was an avid photographer. Several of her photos will be on display at the Jackson Regional Hospital in the back of Rachel's Cafeteria. The silent auction to bid on the photos will begin on Sunday July 13 (tomorrow at 2 pm) and will end on Sunday July 20. Proceeds will go to the hospital bill.
