A good weekend for Kameron Williams fundraising efforts

Bake sales, auctions and more were held over the weekend to help raise money to offset costs for the family of Kameron Williams, 19, who was severely injured in an accident recently.

Mid America Live spoke with several of those spearheading the fundraising and it is believed that around $4,000 was raised in the past few days, making the effort well worth it.

Update on Baby Remington Craft

Not too much has changed since yesterday.

Remi is still getting moms milk through her NG Tube, although last night she wasn't tolerating it and started vomiting a few times through the night. That was a set back, but minor compared to any others that could have happened.

Today, doctors gave the OK to remove her heart pacer wires but left the drainage tube in. They put her back on a couple meds and reduced her milk intake. Hopefully she starts to tolerate it. We want to move forward but only when Remi allows it. All prayers are welcome!
