Tale of Two Sisters - Lacie’s Progress and Update - March 1, 2021

Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked? (Ecclesiastes 7:13)

When I read this scripture, it immediately made me think of the things God is doing for Lacie to straighten things out for her.

And God is doing so many things.

As some of you know, Lacie has been challenged with a lung condition for the last couple of years. In the next few days, she is going to be having surgery.

PLEASE be keeping her lifted up in prayer.

She is having the middle lobe of her lung removed due to an infection and mass that has been overlooked. This is why she has been coughing up blood off and on since April 15, 2020.

Additionally, she will be having three ribs that were previously injured replaced with titanium. They must be broken again in order to heal properly. Can you say, "OUCH??!!"

She will be at the hospital in Denver after surgery for approximately 9 days before returning to DWCF - Denver Women's Correctional Facility. Once she returns to DWCF, she will be recovering in the infirmary.

She will be alone the majority of the time and not surrounded by any of her "family" at DWCF or us - her friends and family out here!

Your prayers are powerful. Having surgery while being incarcerated does not sound ideal. No comforts of home, no phone calls to loved ones, no chicken soup, etc.

I could go on, however, the bottom line, she is ready, she has peace about this, she is tired of being sick, and she is managing all of this really well.

Her faith is strong and she is confident! She can feel God's hand on her and is trusting that this will be a part of making the path straight. Thank you for your support for her.

Please email any questions you may have. I will do my best to keep everyone updated.

Would you please add her attorney to your prayers?

As well, share this with additional prayer groups.

Her attorney is working many angles for Lacie.

Her work includes:

• In the process of pursuing a Federal Habeas case based on Lacie's rights being violated in the previous legal proceedings.

• Has agreed to represent Lacie in her parole hearing - due to the surgery, her parole date has been changed to 4/28/21.

• Moving forward with her clemency case and is working to create the "clemency video" for her parole hearing.

• Working with ACLU Colorado to bring awareness of the medically challenged inmates that are not being considered for "Special Needs Parole". They will be highlighting Lacie's case in the next few months.

Special Needs Parole is considered for inmates that are dealing with serious health conditions. It is obvious that the CDOC - Colorado Department of Corrections - is not able to provide proper care for inmates. Lacie is a good example. The medical "care" she has not been given in the last year ended up making things worse for Lacie. Negligent to some degree. That is why she is now having to have a portion of her lung removed.

Her law firm has taken on a tremendous amount of legal representation that requires a strategy that I cannot even begin to fathom. Please pray that the Lord provides favor in all of the filings, hearings, and processes. All of this cannot be done without His wisdom and understanding. We need His plan and purpose for Lacie to be revealed each step of the way.

Your prayers are valuable. Thank you.

I so appreciate your support and faith in Him who provides and protects us!

Thank you!!!
