It's A Party!

Rachel's surgery is Thursday, Sept. 4th (on Rachel's birthday!). Because of this we have had to reschedule her birthday party. It will be this Saturday, Aug. 30th at 11 am at the church. All are invited!

Bring the Rain

The doctor found the cause of Rachel's vomiting and retching! What an answered prayer. Rachel has a hernia on her stomach that runs up her esophagus. When the hernia fills with fluid it gives Rachel the sensation of needing to vomit. Rachel will be having another surgery(probably this Friday). They will undo her Nissen, remove or reduce the hernia and then redo her Nissen. Please pray that the surgery goes well and recovery goes much better than last time. Pray for pain management! Most of all, Pray that God gets the glory for it all. As Jason and I have learned to pray, Jesus Bring the Rain...

Checking In

Rachel has had some ups and downs since the last post. She had some issues with her seizures but Praise God they are once again under control! The power of prayer is amazing!
She is having trouble with retching and vomiting again so please continue to pray for her. We have learned that she will likely have to stay on the feeding pump for 2-3 more years. Jesus has given me such a peace about that. It's a long road, but the Driver knows where He is going!
