Prayers for Ryan Hall

 The following is taken from an email sent out by Mr. Frimml:

'In case you aren't aware, Ryan Hall, the father of Ashlynn Brown in second grade and Tate Hall in Three Year Old preschool is going through some medical issues.  Ryan has been having frequent headaches. Two weeks ago, he was taken to the emergency room.  These headaches have been progressing over the past year.  They have been more frequent and more painful.  He had an MRI and it showed that he has a chiaria malformation which has caused a syrnix.  This means that his skull is too small for his brain.  This is causing brain and spinal fluid to build up in a sack.  He will have to have major brain and spinal surgery.  Because of this surgery, he will not be able to work for an extended period of time.  There will be a large medical expense.  The surgery is April 4th. '

This surgery went well and he is said to be recovering nicely.  Two of our St. Pat's families are organizing  a benefit to raise funds to offset the expenses Ryan and Katie will incur during this trying period. 
 If you would like to help in any way, please call:

Kathleen & David Hoagland 319-551-2727
Sara & Jeremy Venenga 319-462-2001 or 480-9293

Please plan to attend and keep Ryan and Katie in your prayers.
