LOVE you Lotts!

So many of you like me check this blog every day and wonder...
WHAT CAN I DO!?!

Several of Mike and Catherine's friends have decided that the only thing more helpful than PRAYING for the Lott family in a time like this, is raising money to help them! Many of you know Mike is self employed and has been unable to work these past two weeks. Also, everyone knows that no matter how much medical insurance you have, 10+ days at Primary Children's Hospital will be pricey...SO let's open our check books and help out this wonderful family!

If you live too far away, or if these dates don't work for you...we are hoping to set up a link where you can make donations online, so please check back!

Mark these dates on your calendars!

May 16th Wednesday, from 5:00-8:00pm Chick-fil-a in the Newgate Mall will donate 20% of all sales to Mike and Catherine. So, take your family out to dinner and buy extra waffle fries!

May 18th Friday, at the Syracuse Craig Lane Park we will be showing a movie outside on the grass. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs starting at 8:00 pm and get ready for the movie to start sometime close to 8:45. There will be Italian ice, popcorn, and soda to purchase, as well as a table to make a donation of ANY AMOUNT to the Lott's. Parking is available at the church located just next to the park at 2339 West 1900 South. Please do not park on Craig Lane.

May 21st Monday, 6:00-8:00 at the Hooper Park (6100 W 5500 S). Pack a picnic and come for a night of family fun! We will have cotton candy and Italian ice for sale and will auction off lots of FANTASTIC things! There will be lawn games available for the kids to play as well. In case of inclement weather we will meet at Hooper Elementary (5500 S 5900 W). If you or your business would like to donate something for the auction, please email Kim at kimkankut@aol.com or Amy at abcdsimms@gmail.com

SPREAD THE WORD and let's help out this amazing family.

Primary Children's Medical Center

I won't be commenting on Ryan's condition - as I'm going to leave that up to Michael from now on. He puts things into words so much better than I can.

This is my first experience with PCMC, and I'm so impressed with the quality of care that Ryan is the recipient of.  The people who work there are amazing. Ryan has had several different nurses and doctors, and each one has been top notch. Not only are they proficient, but they are caring and compassionate. They make you feel like you are more than just a number - you matter to them! They have all treated Ryan with such tender care and respect. There are too many more people to mention that have participated in Ryan's care. All of them have been equally awesome. We are grateful to these people, and to this fine facility, for such a high level of care.

Hugs,

Grandma Jeri

Thanks for Visiting

We set this blog up last week so that you would have a resource to turn to for an update on Ryan's status.  I don't have anything to report on his status this morning, but I have watched the blog as the hit count went from a few, to several hundred, and more recently, to nearly a thousand hits per day from across the globe.  People have logged visits from Alaska, Indonesia, Norway, England, Russia and Germany in addition to the great multitude in Utah who are faithfully praying for Ryan's improvement.  Please keep the prayers flowing in Ryan's behalf.  Thank you all.
