(Photo is pre-op) We got to see Mia and she is hanging tough after a 6 hour surgery. She is in the ICU. The team of doctors is amazing & feel ‘really good about the procedure.’ To our friends/prayer warriors, we thank you. As believers we sense God’s presence & know He’s at work!
Our family is fine. The reports are true about the shooting. God did not give us a spirit of fear. We will continue to live our lives, share Jesus, and love people boldly and unashamed!
Surgery went well! We are blessed to have an awesome doctor and medical team. Recovery has been slow but steady. We thank you all so much for supporting Mia. Love you!!!

The doctors started the procedure at 11:45. This girl is one of the bravest people I know! “...Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’” Isaiah 43:1
Thanks for praying!
At 10:30 AM tomorrow, our Mia girl will have the most extensive surgery she’s ever had. Both jaws will be cut and reset in order to improve her overall health and speech, a 5-hour surgery.
@JaseDuckman
and I would appreciate your prayers! Thank you for always supporting Mia ♥️.
There’s a lot of uncertainty right now, no doubt. One thing is for sure. Our God reigns, and He created us to love each other. Take a time out and be intentional with your family. It takes effort, but it’s totally worth it.

Mia is in surgery and we appreciate your prayers and the talents of her awesome medical team. Should be a few hours primarily to remove and replace hardware for her jaw …thanks again!
Mia update: First ‘in surgery’ report was all good. They said she was ‘surprisingly calm’ before she went under. I believe that says a lot about her courage and your prayers. It will be a couple more hours...thanks again.

Mia had another surgery today, and she is recovering well. She has a fantastic team of doctors and staff! We so appreciate all of your prayers and kind words!! First words post surgery... ‘will y’all just leave me alone’ which made us all laugh!
In 2014 a 10-year-old Mia asked me and

was born. On March 17th, Mia will have her next (hopefully last) major surgery. Because of her inspiration, many have been helped. Thank you for your prayers & support!
Mia continues to show her tenacity in the healing process. She’s been out of bed today for little spurts, even long enough to brush up on her piano playing. Thank you all for your continued prayers. It’s a tough road, but our God is faithful!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for all of the prayers, cards, texts and messages, etc. We are overwhelmed with the support. They continue to mean so much to all of us. We have an Almighty and powerful God. He has been by Mia’s side for her entire life. We are grateful to you and to Him!
“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:4-5
We’re surrounded by darkness, but our house is filled w/light. Light is hope. Hope is Christ. Jesus is the Light.

Mia’s surgery is done! Kudos to her medical team! We met with the surgeon and he feels really good about it. So proud of Mia’s courage and character! Thanks for all the support!
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.”~Proverbs 31:10-12
I found me a good one. No metal detector required.

We found out today that Mia is one of only two students in our state to win an essay contest and represent Louisiana in Washington DC this summer. She was also voted Cheer MVP by her peers tonight. So far, she is rocking 2020!

Montana vacay with all my kiddos was amazing! One intentional week every year gets us all together to spend time with each other and God’s magnificent creation!!
So, while a lot of people panicking due to empty shelves @ the local grocery stores, here I am with a Bible-beating, fishing pole-toting, America-loving, gun-holding redneck who just caught our dinner using his fishing pole and large knife.
