What's the most influential change you've made

Update on my nephew
I heard from my mom about him last night, he is doing much better, has not had another seizure, but is being kept in intensive care so they can try and find out what's going on. Thanks to everyone for their kind words, and I know that God was watching and listening to all our prayers. I will keep you updated. Kerri
