Kathy Kidwell, resident of Watauga Square Apartments who was baptized last June, was discharged on Friday from NHC Health Care after a few weeks of rehab for a broken leg.  She is doing better, but must still be off the leg for awhile longer.  She sends her thanks to all for prayers, cards, and visits.
