Right to work passed in Missouri

As expected, Governor Eric Greitens signed the measure just a few moments ago, making Right to Work official in Missouri. 

Greitens says it will bring new jobs and businesses; opponents say it will weaken unions and lower the pay scale.

The new law will take effect in August. Any contracts currently in place will remain in effect until they expire.

Update on Kameron Williams 2/6/17

Today Kam is sitting up a little at an angle with his new back brace. This has been a goal for days now and he is doing it!!😁 He does require hourly pain meds to manage the pain as being in the brace is much different. He did eat some breakfast on his own. Love seeing his smile !!

He has to focus this morning on therapy and work hard then rest. Just doing the things most of us take for granted are hard work for Kam right now and thank you to everyone who has sent cards and visited the waiting room and sent encouraging words and prayers. Keep it coming you are making a difference and we love our community for not giving up on us!! He is a beautiful strong young man I am so blessed to get to be his mommy😊 I know he just turned 19 but I wish you all could see his face after a popsicle ... Pure Joy and happiness for the little things in life. 

He wants to tell you all that he is fighting hard and can not wait to share his thoughts with everyone. I currently will not give him his phone.
 
He has to stay focused on getting better and he can only do a little at a time the staff here at Overland Park Regional Hospital are wonderful but they can not do their magic if his nose is barred in his phone. 

Thank you for your patience and he will reach out as soon as possible. #kamsfam. - Courtesy of Heather (Kam's Mother)
