Lotz said via her Facebook page that she is thankful for the many prayers she has receive for Danny, adding that he is receiving treatment at an unnamed hospital.
"Thank you for your prayers as we walk through this valley of the shadow. Danny is holding his own. The next 24 hours are critical and should give us some answers," Lotz said in a Facebook update on Tuesday.
"This I call to mind and therefore I have hope; because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. [...] Lamentations 3:21-23," she added.
