Taylor is still not allowed visitors at this time and doctors will let us know when she can start to have friends visit. Until then continue to pray for a full recovery and lots of rest as each day will continue to grow more exhausting for her."
A fundraiser to help the Hale family with medical expenses was held Friday; bracelets were sold before and during the homecoming football game. Donations are also being accepted at area Casey's General Store and Kum & Go locations.
