She is being treated for pneumonia and has had a tube placed for her feedings and bypass her stomach for some of her nutrition.We are weaning her off of O2 and watching how she handles her feeds. Hopefully, we can go home soon. Thanks to all for prayers and thoughts. Haley is the strongest person I know!

Beaver Lake Tournament Canceled

The Tournament at Beaver Lake this weekend has been canceled due to the uncertainty of the weather as well as the low numbers of skiers registered. We invite you all to join us for the Haley Mitchell Ski-A-Thon the first weekend in October. Continue your prayers for Haley who is still at Kings Daughters Hospital in Norfolk Va. She is doing much better and is scheduled to have a procedure hopefully today that should take care of her most recent complications. The Mitchell family thanks each of you for your support and prayers.

Tommy,

I have lost my black Straight Line ski vest, with red trim and lettering, size large. I left it on the railing leading to the jump dock prior to the start of tricks on Sunday, and I'm hoping someone may have picked it up by mistake. Please post a message on the website and ask anyone who may have it to call me at (704) 301-0592.

On behalf of the Clear Lake Waterskiers, I want to thank everyone who attended. It was a fun tournament with good skiing conditions and scoring, and it was nice seeing everyone. I really liked the "inside the trailer" pictures you posted!

Thanks,

Rick Conner

UPDATE

Carl is home and doing great.  They patched the hole, it
         was between 7 and 8 mm  in size.  The doctor could see blood passing through the hole and skipping the  lungs, when Carl would
         take a deep breath.  This meant some de-oxygenated blood  had been traveling to the brain.  Carl is quite tired in the evenings,
         but he  and Johnny work really hard all day.  He just figured it was from working  non-stop.  The doctor believes Carl will
         have much more energy now.  He will  have an echo cardiogram in about 6 weeks to make sure the patch is still in  place.
