Lone Peak basketball star Nick Emery returned home early from his mission on Wednesday; he had been serving in the Frankfurt, Germany mission. His family posted this update on his mission blog:

“Elder Emery has recently been dealing with worsening conditions of thoracic outlet syndrome.  He has undergone testing and examinations and several doctors and specialists have been consulted about his condition. His mission president, President Stoddard (a medical doctor) and area church medical doctors concluded that he needs to have treatment sooner than later to correct these issues or they will continue to worsen.”
