The Southern Gospel Sound of Redemption

Dear Prayer Partners,

Wanted to give everyone the lastest update and prayer request on Rachelle. The last time I wrote to tell you that we were home from the hospital and how everything went better then we even imagined. PTL!
I don't think I remembered to mention that the tube they put in was temporary while her body healed from the procedure of placing the g-tube.

Monday is her appointment for them to remove the temporary tube which is a longer one and replace it with one that is smaller and from what I'm told even easier to use. They tell us it is a quick and minor procedure, they do have to put her under and that is always a concern with her condition.

So once again I am asking that you remember to please say a prayer for her for Mondays procedure. We are told it only takes about 20 minutes and they do not have to make any incisions or anything like that. It is an outpatient procedure. We have to be at the hospital at 7:00am.

I'd like to share how SUPER Rachelle has been doing since her tube was placed on the 5th of Jan.....
She went back to school on Jan 22nd. She was so very happy to be back! Everyone has been noticing how EXTREMELY happy, giggly and smiley she has constantly been! Also, we saw her GI Doctor on Feb.9th for a follow up appt, and she had already gained 1 1/2 pounds! So we not only know how much better she is feeling (not having to cough and choke from her food) We also know she is getting better nutrition!
It is so wonderful to see the Lord touching and working in her life on a daily basis, which touches our whole family!

That is only one of the reasons why we are so greatful for any opportunity we get to share the Lords love, grace and power! "Without Him how lost we would be."

I'll write again soon and let you know how things have gone.

Thank you & God Bless,
Teresa & Family
