Update on Surgery

Rachel came through with flying colors! Praise God for answered prayers! We got to see pictures from before surgery and it is amazing she was even able to breathe! The doctor was even impressed she could breathe. We had a great doctor taking care of her and he even knelt down and prayed for Rachel before they took her to surgery! WOW! I was not nervous at all and I had every confidence God had her in His hands. Thanks for all your prayers. We are all so thankful for them!

The Benefit Was A Success!

The Benefit was an astounding success. Jason and I are still overwhelmed at God’s goodness and the caring hearts of friends, family and even total strangers! I want to sincerely thank everyone involved. You all worked so hard and we are so very grateful. There were many, many people helping with the benefit. We also had so many donations! Our parents and family, their church families, my church family, my dear friends and neighbors, our co-workers, local businesses…WOW! How could we ever thank you enough? We praise God for taking care of Rachel and supplying ALL of our needs. God is AMAZING!

Rachel's Surgery Tomorrow

Rachel will be having surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to help her breathe easier. The doctor will be removing some excess tissue from her vocal cords as the tissue keeps falling into her airways making it harder to breathe. The doctor will also be moving a bone in her nose to help her breathe better. While I am not looking forward to whatever pain this will cause her I am excited about the possibility of her not having to work so hard to breathe! Please keep her in your prayers! God is good and faithful and I know He has her in His hands!
