Update on Carlin and her health

 We know that you all have been praying for Carlin and we are so thankful for you all.

Carlin's doctor wants her to do a workout with a warmup and cool down. 

Carlin had a meeting with the Mayo Clinic. Evan and Carlin shared that the doctors had her on two meds. Evan says that they seem to be helping but they are less than what they have been.

Carlin still doesn't have a diagnosis but they have been running tests. 

We hope that she finds the answers to what she has been going through. We are praying for her and the rest of the family
