MARK YOUR CALENDARS……The Fremont Girl’s Basketball Program is hosting a special recognition ceremony to honor the coaches, players and support staff from the 1977 Girls Basketball Team on Saturday, December 12, 2009, at 6:30 pm center court at the Fremont High School. 

The 1977 team is the only team in Fremont Girls Basketball history to go undefeated in the regular season (18-0) and to have the most wins in a season (23-1). 

The ceremony will take place after the basketball game against Tri-County which starts at 5:30 pm. 

Come support the "red headed" flash, Coach St Peter!  Coach St Peter was a distinguished member of the 1977 team and that season she broke the "most points in a single game" record with 30 points, "most points in a single season" with 370 points and held the most career points with 770 points.

On behalf of the Fremont Girls Basketball Program, we would like to invite Fremont alumni, community members, friends and family to a special recognition ceremony to honor the coaches, players and support staff from the 1977 Girls Basketball Team on Saturday, December 12, 2009, at 6:30 pm center court at the Fremont High School. A reception for honorees, friends and family will follow immediately in the Multipurpose Room.

Fremont is known for their strong girls basketball program and we will acknowledge that long standing tradition by celebrating the success of the 1977 team. The 1977 team is the only team in Fremont girls basketball history to win 23 games in a row before losing in the Class B Quarterfinal Basketball Tournament.

The girls varsity basketball game against Tri-County starts at 5:30 pm. We sincerely hope you can join us for the game and celebration that follows.

If you have questions concerning this event, please contact Sally Hall at sallyjo-hall@comcast.net.

Jennifer called this morning, mainly to tell us that she was successful in her 19,300 foot climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro  She said it was fairly easy going until the last "day" – they began climbing the last portion at midnight on Halloween and reached the top the morning of November 1.  It was freezing cold despite wearing 5 layers, but it wasn’t icy. 

    Tomorrow she goes out on safari in the Serengeti and will be gone till Saturday.  Then she will be around internet and will post on her blog at some point.  (Sunday she begins her next volunteer stint – this time working with kids at a school.)  She’s having trouble getting pictures onto her blog as she doesn’t have the correct cable for her camera, but those of you who are her friends on facebook can find pictures of her there.

   It was good to hear her voice!  She’s meeting wonderful people and is having lots of fantastic experiences.  (She has already seen the "Big 5"!)  Hopefully one of them will lead her to a job or at least knowledge of what she wants to do when she returns to the USA in December.  Remember to check out her blog http://aventurajen.wordpress.com

This morning we lost our beloved Matthew.  As much as our hearts ache with desperation and sadness, we know that Matt is dancing once again in Heaven.  His heart will remain young forever.  Matt always said he never wanted to grow old.  Matt never worried about the small things in life, and he definitely lived life to the fullest.  We love and miss Matt more than words can describe.  He will forever be in our hearts.  We will embrace Matt’s spirit that lives on in his son, Elias Matthew.  Please pray for all of Matt’s family, but be assured that Matthew is up above with our Heavenly Father and is reunited with all of his family members that have preceded him. 

Once funeral arrangements are made, we will send out another update.  Thank you for showing Matt and his family how much they are loved.

So far, not a great day for Matt and his family.  The nurses called Kathy in the middle of the night to report that his oxygen levels dropped.  They called the doctor in and they completed a couple x-rays/scans of matt’s lungs.  They did a thoracentesis on Matt’s left lung, and removed a little fluid from the left lung.  The doctors emphasized how sick Matt is and how bad his lungs are right now.  They are sure that Matt has ARDS, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.  They are wondering if Matt’s arterial line (an IV in his artery) may be infected, and are probably going to change the site of that line sometime in the near future.  Matt’s temperature continues to be high and Matt is also tachycardic, his heart rate is higher than it should be.  Please pray for Matt and our family during this emotional rollercoaster.  We love Matt so much.

We just spoke with the trauma doctor and his team.  We are discouraged.  Matt has problems keeping his blood pressure and oxygen levels up last night.  They added another medication for this.  His pneumonia doesn’t seem to be improving.  They started a different antibiotic.  He continues to have very high temps.  We really feel the need for your prayer support today.  We just want our beloved Matthew healed.

As of now, Matt’s vital signs are stable.  His temperature has come down significantly.  Matt has not had any more cardiac arrests since Bethany and Ed arrived at the hospital, which was around 4:00pm.  They have performed many cardiac tests and all have come back normal.  The cause of Matt’s cardiac arrests is still unknown.  Matt’s brothers came up and arrived late tonight.  He is now surrounded by his family who loves him more than he knows.  God has answered so many prayers already today.  Matt is in His hands and we put all of our trust in our powerful, Almighty God who can do all things.  Still praying for miracles.

The last two days have been very difficult for Matt.  He continues to have severe lung issues.   Matt has experienced multiple episodes of cardiac arrest.  This happens whenever they move him or with any sort of treatment.  His heart has started right back up with medication, but this is cause for great concern.  Also, his temperature continues to be extremely high.  Matt is fighting for his life.  Please present his name to the throne of God.  We love him and selfishly do not want to give him up, but we trust our God, who knows all and loves Matt more than we will ever know.
