Could everyone stop what they’re doing for just two seconds and pray specifically for Karson’s will and strength again?
He’s really struggling right now with wanting to stop treatments. He’s said he would rather live a normal life now than worry about what happens if he stops. As we all know, stopping treatment just isn’t an option, but that doesn’t make it any easier for him to understand or accept.
These moments make daily life, and especially our trips to Birmingham, very challenging… for both me and our wonderful team there who care for him so deeply.
Please lift him up in prayer, that he finds the strength, courage, and peace to keep fighting. We love you all and are so grateful for every single prayer and ounce of support you continue to send! ❤️

HENRY COUNTY: 4:50 AM Henry County 911 Central dispatches Henry County Sheriff Deputies and Abbeville Police to a semi truck southbound from Barbour County in Henry County. The southbound semi was traveling south in the northbound lanes of traffic.
Henry County Sheriff Deputies and Abbeville Police scrambled north on Highway 431 attempting to make contact with the vehicle.
At about the 44 mile marker near Henry County 90 Henry County Sheriff Deputies located the truck, within minutes of dispatch. The deputies were able to get the truck stopped.
Following the traffic stop the on scene Henry County Sheriff Deputies requested Abbeville Fire – Rescue be dispatched. The semi was leaking a large amount of diesel fuel. At about 5:05 AM the on scene Henry County Sheriff Deputies called for Abbeville Fire – Rescue, EMS unit to respond. They did not specify why.
At 5:06 AM the on scene Henry County Sheriff Deputies requested ALEA – Troopers be dispatched. That is appears the semi has hit something between their location and Barbour County or in Barbour County
The promptness and information obtained by Henry County 911 Central and getting that information dispatched to the Henry County Sheriff Deputies and Abbeville Police, and the rapid response from the Henry County Sheriff Deputies and Abbeville Police has probably saved some lives of the traveling public. A very dangerous situation with a semi traveling south in the northbound lanes of traffic, in dark areas of the highway on a major highway.
The unseen 911 Dispatchers do a tremendous job in obtaining onformation and then diseminating that information to the proper emergency units to handle. And that information allows those in the field to be able to react and respond with knowledge in order to save lives.
GREAT JOB!!!!
UPDATED @ 5:15 AM
Henry County Sheriff Deputies, on scene, have requested Henry County Emergency Management Director Matt Hatcher be dispatched. An estimated 300 gallons of diesel fuel spill.
