NEW UPDATE on Jamie Zuidema’s Condition from Shannon Fisher
Ok update on Jamie: he is doing really good, his back is healing just like they hoped it would. He is walking some with the help of his walker and yesterday went outside for a bit! He still has to be in traction for a few more months, but is very determined to get things going. Jamie is in good spirits about everything, and he and lil Jamie can’t say thank you enough to everyone!

FINAL UPDATE: The Facebook auction on Saturday raised a total of just under $6400.00 to go to help towards Jamie Zuidema’s medical bills. This brings the total amount that both auctions raised to around $33,400.00. Thanks to APHA Amateur Shannon Fisher from North Carolina for organizing all of these auctions!
