Chris and I got to LR on Thursday to celebrate Christmas with my family. Yesterday, Chris's mom, dad and Brother (we call him the Bulldog) drove in from Tulsa, OK to join the fun. John Jr. (aka Bulldog) is one of the greatest people on the planet. He is ten years older than Chris....and it partially mentally retarded. He is one of the funniest people I know.....and has a HUGE heart. One of his greatest joys is playing Connect Four. Yesterday, we played so many rounds.....my sisters and I took turns trying to beat him. He is so good at it.
Well, this morning we got a call from Chris's parents letting us know that they found John in his hotel room (he likes his own room) unresponsive and very, very sick. Chris and I drove straight to the hotel.....and when we got there he was stretched out on the floor having seizures. It was one of the worst things I have seen in my life. We immediately called 911....and he was taken to the emergency room. We are still waiting for test results. He does not recognize any of us....he is in a weird fog right now. Please be praying for a miracle!!! Pray for the doctors to have wisdom. Chris is really broken right now. I will update you all soon.
Love,
Lindsey

Any updates on Bulldog??! Praying for you all and you jumped in my thoughts when I woke up this morning!

We are praying for your family and that the doctors will quickly find out what is wrong and that he may be healed.
Praying for your brother right now. May the Lord grant wisdom to the doctors (beyond their understanding), and may He allow you all to have perfect peace right now.
I am praying for Chris' brother and for you guys through this time!!! Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Oh guys I am praying for you right now.
We've been praying since yesterday around noon. We're really hoping for an update on John soon. He's so loved by so many, even from afar b/c of Chris talking about him at church. Easy to garner prayers for someone everyone feels like they know!
Blessings,
The Olson Gang
